Both the men's and the women's events would be scheduled to take place at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California on outdoor hard courts.

All top 75 ranked WTA and ATP Tour singles players were included in the initial entry list, but five-time champion Roger Federer withdrew after undergoing surgery on his right knee.

Dominic Thiem and Bianca Andreescu were the defending champions in the men's and women's singles draw, respectively prior to the cancellation, although Andreescu withdrew prior to the originally scheduled start of the tournament, citing injury.
