The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on WTA rankings as of August 24, 2026. Rankings and points before are as of August 31, 2026.

Because the tournament takes place one week later this year, players are defending points from the 2025 US Open, as well as tournaments that took place during the week of September 8, 2025 (Guadalajara and Ljubljana WTA 125). Points from the 2025 US Open are listed first in the "Points defending" column.
