London has been confirmed as the host city for the ninth edition of the Laver Cup, with the event set to return to The O2 from September 25-27, 2026.

The venue was the scene of one of the most unforgettable moments in tennis history when Roger Federer brought his legendary career to a close at the 2022 edition of the Laver Cup in front of a packed London crowd alongside his longtime rivals Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

The O2, is the world’s most popular live entertainment, leisure, and retail destination and has been visited by over 100 million people since opening in 2007. Its iconic arena welcomes over 200 events a year and was host to the ATP World Tour Finals from 2009 to 2020 as well as the Laver Cup in 2022. Beyond tennis, The O2 has staged global superstars such as Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Madonna, Adele, Elton John, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones and has hosted major events including The BRIT awards, UFC, NBA games and World Championship Boxing.

“We are thrilled to be bringing the Laver Cup back to London, one of the world’s great sporting cities,” said Laver Cup Chairman and TEAM8 CEO Tony Godsick. “London set a new benchmark in 2022, delivering one of the most successful and emotional editions of the event to date.”

“While we’ve traditionally taken the Laver Cup to new cities around the world each year, the response from London – from fans, partners and players – was truly overwhelming. The appetite to see Laver Cup return was impossible to ignore, and we’re excited to once again bring this unique tennis event back to The O2.”

Federer, 20-time Grand Slam Champion and Laver Cup co-founder, is also looking forward to returning to The O2.

"My final match in 2022 was filled with emotion and unforgettable memories – being surrounded by my teammates who were also my greatest rivals – it was everything I could have hoped for,” said Federer. “I’m really looking forward to returning to such a meaningful place, this time as a fan, and experiencing the incredible Laver Cup atmosphere once again.”

Named in honor of Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, the Laver Cup pits six of the best men’s players from Europe against six of their counterparts from the rest of the World over three days of intense team competition. The event is played on a dramatic black court that will be constructed within The O2.

Since its debut in Prague in 2017, the Laver Cup has been staged in Chicago (2018), Geneva (2019), Boston (2021), London (2022), Vancouver (2023), Berlin (2024) and this year will be held at Chase Center in San Francisco from September 19-21. Team Europe lead the headto-head 5-2 and the London 2026 edition will mark the fifth time Europe has held the ‘home advantage’. “The O2 is a spectacular venue that combines cutting-edge technology, world-class amenities, and an atmosphere that elevates every match,” said Laver Cup CEO Steve Zacks.
