Fresh off Team World’s champagne-filled celebrations in San Francisco, the Laver Cup is already looking ahead to its next chapter. The 2026 edition will take place in London from September 25–27, marking the first time the tournament has ever returned to the same city.
A Venue Steeped in Tennis History
When the event last visited The O2 Arena in 2022, fans witnessed one of the most emotional moments in sporting history—Roger Federer’s farewell match. Now, four years later, the famed black court is heading back to the Greenwich peninsula to create new memories.
“We are thrilled to be bringing the Laver Cup back to London, one of the world’s great sporting cities,” said Tony Godsick, Laver Cup chairman. “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.”
London offers both accessibility and atmosphere, drawing fans from across Europe and beyond. The O2, widely regarded as one of the world’s premier indoor arenas, blends cutting-edge technology with top-tier facilities, making it a natural stage for the high-drama spectacle the Laver Cup has become.
“The O2 is a spectacular venue that combines world-class amenities and an atmosphere that elevates every match,” noted Steve Zacks, Laver Cup CEO. “It’s the perfect stage for the drama, intensity, and camaraderie that defines this event.”
A Global Journey Comes Full Circle
Since its debut in Prague in 2017, the Laver Cup has rotated between Europe and Team World host cities: Chicago (2018), Geneva (2019), Boston (2021), London (2022), Vancouver (2023), Berlin (2024), and San Francisco (2025).
Godsick revealed that London’s strong ticket demand and commercial success in 2022 made its case undeniable. “The support from fans and the community was extraordinary. Bringing the event back to The O2 allows us to build on that experience.”
More than Just Tennis
The O2 isn’t just a sports arena—it’s a cultural landmark. Opened in 2007 beneath the Millennium Dome, it has hosted global icons including Taylor Swift, Madonna, Adele, Elton John, and The Rolling Stones, as well as events during the 2012 London Olympics. Its unique architecture and intimate design create an electric atmosphere perfect for the Laver Cup’s team-based format.
British tennis legend Tim Henman, who serves as Team Europe’s vice-captain, is already anticipating the return:
“The atmosphere at The O2 in 2022 was electric. London is a city that lives and breathes sport, and I know the fans will make it another unforgettable occasion.”
