When and Where is the 2026 Laver Cup?

The ninth edition of the Laver Cup will be held from Friday, September 25, to Sunday, September 27, 2026. The tournament is making a triumphant return to one of its most celebrated venues: The O2 in London, England. The 2022 edition at this same venue was the scene of Roger Federer’s unforgettable retirement.

Tournament Format

The competition is a three-day event with a dynamic, escalating point system to keep the drama high. A total of 12 matches are played over the three days (three singles and one doubles per day).

  • Day 1 (Friday): Each match win is worth 1 point.
  • Day 2 (Saturday): Each match win is worth 2 points.
  • Day 3 (Sunday): Each match win is worth 3 points.

The first team to reach 13 points wins the tournament. If the score is tied at 12-12 after all matches are completed, a final, decisive doubles match is played to determine the champion.

What to Expect at the Venue

The Laver Cup is celebrated for its unique atmosphere, which sets it apart from other tournaments.

  • Team Benches: Instead of being alone, players are supported by their entire team and captain, who offer advice and encouragement from the sideline.
  • On-court Interviews: Players often do live interviews during changeovers, offering candid and humorous insights.
  • Fan Engagement: The smaller arena size and team format create a more intimate and energetic environment, with fans actively cheering for their favorite players and teams.
