[edit]Seeded players
[edit]The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on WTA rankings as of 28 September 2026. Rankings and points before are as of 12 October 2026.
Because the tournament takes place one week later this year, points from the 2025 Wuhan Open had already been deducted from ranking points as of 12 October 2026. Accordingly, the points defending column reflects either (a) results from tournaments which took place during the week of 13 October 2025 (Ningbo and Osaka) or (b) the player's 18th best result.
