Aryna Sabalenka defeated Elena Rybakina in the final, 3–6, 6–3, 7–6(8–6) to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2026 Indian Wells Open. She saved a championship point en route to her first Indian Wells singles title (having lost two previous finals) and her tenth WTA 1000 singles title overall. The final was a rematch of both the 2023 final and this year's Australian Open final, both won by Rybakina.

Mirra Andreeva was the defending champion, but lost in the third round to Kateřina Siniaková.

Talia Gibson was the youngest woman to reach a WTA 1000 quarterfinal on main-draw debut since Rybakina at the 2019 Wuhan Open, as well as the first qualifier to reach the quarterfinals of Indian Wells since Lesia Tsurenko in 2015.
