The American is a three-time champion at the WTA 1000 event, and 2026 will mark 25 years since her third and most recent triumph back in 2001.
Williams will be back at the tournament for the first time since 2024, when she was beaten by Diana Shnaider in the opening round.
The 45-year-old is yet to win a match in 2026, having fallen in the opening round of all five tournaments she has contested so far this season.
