About the Laver Cup
The Laver Cup is one of the most unique and exciting events in professional tennis, bringing together many of the world's greatest players in a Ryder Cup-style team competition. Rather than competing as individuals, six of Europe's top players face six of the best players from the rest of the world in a three-day contest that celebrates both rivalry and camaraderie.

Named in honour of Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, the tournament was first staged in 2017 and has quickly become one of the highlights of the tennis calendar. The event features five sessions played over three days, with points increasing in value as the competition progresses, ensuring that the winner is often decided during the dramatic final day.
The 2026 Laver Cup will be held at The O2 Arena from 25–27 September, returning the event to London for the first time since its memorable 2022 edition. Team World will arrive looking to defend the title it won in Vancouver in 2025, while Team Europe will once again field a squad of the continent's leading stars.

Unlike traditional ATP tournaments, the Laver Cup is played on a striking black hard court, creating one of the most distinctive visual identities in world tennis. Combined with dramatic lighting, music, team benches courtside, and constant player interaction, the event has a unique atmosphere that blends elite sport with entertainment.
Over the years, tennis icons including Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Carlos Alcaraz have represented Team Europe, while Team World has featured stars such as Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Nick Kyrgios and João Fonseca.
With its innovative format, world-class line-ups, and electric atmosphere, the Laver Cup has established itself as one of the sport's most anticipated showcase events.
