In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
- ^ The WTA International tournaments were reclassified as WTA 250 tournaments in 2021.
- ^ The WTA Premier tournaments were reclassified as WTA 500 tournaments in 2021.
