London welcomes back the Laver Cup at the O2

The Laver Cup is returning to The O2 in London, United Kingdom, for its ninth edition from 25 to 27 September. The three-day men’s team competition pits six players representing Team Europe against six stars from Team World, continuing a format that began with its inaugural staging in Prague in 2017.

London previously hosted the event in 2022. Team Europe features Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Flavio Cobolli, Casper Ruud, Jakub Mensik and Rafael Jodar. Team World counters with Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Alexander Bublik, Learner Tien, Francisco Cerundolo and Brandon Nakashima.

Captains and scoring format

Yannick Noah leads Team Europe as captain alongside vice captain Tim Henman. Team World is captained by Andre Agassi, with Patrick Rafter serving as vice captain.

The competition spans five sessions over three days, requiring 13 points out of a possible 24 to lift the trophy. Points escalate daily: matches on Day 1 are worth one point, Day 2 matches offer two points, and Day 3 clashes reward three points. If the teams are deadlocked at 12-12 after 12 matches, a decisive doubles rubber determines the winner.

Past hosts and defending champions

Team World arrives in London as the reigning champion after triumphing in San Francisco in 2025. In that tie, Fritz secured a 15-9 victory for Team World by defeating Zverev 6-3, 7-6(4). That victory marked Team World’s third title in the event, following consecutive wins in 2022 and 2023.
