After his second Challenger title at the All In Open, France, he ended that season ranked inside the top 125 in the singles rankings on 18 November 2024.

The Belgian recorded his first major win later that season, at the US Open, defeating lucky loser Daniel Elahi Galán in the first round, and then went on to upset 12th seed and former US Open finalist Casper Ruud for the biggest win of his career thus far. He ultimately lost to 20th seed Jiří Lehečka in the third round.
Playing at his home tournament, the European Open for the second time as a wildcard, Collignon reached his first ATP Tour semifinal with wins over compatriot Zizou Bergs, Francisco Comesaña and fourth seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
2026: Top 5 win, ATP final, top 40 debut At the 2026 Australian Open, Collignon won the first set against fifth-seed Lorenzo Musetti, but ultimately retired from the match after three hours in hot conditions suffering from cramps.
In May, in his first participation at Roland Garros, Collignon defeated Aleksandar Vukic in straight sets in the first round of the 2026 French Open before defeating world No. 5 Ben Shelton in straight sets, the biggest win by ranking of his career. He lost in the third round in a fifth set tiebreak to Matteo Arnaldi.
In July he reached his first ATP final at the 2026 Swiss Open Gstaad but lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas. As a result, he moved to a new career-high singles ranking of world No. 37 on 20 July 2026.
