Sky Sports has struck a partnership with Trident8 to televise the entire three‑day Laver Cup event, which will take place at the iconic O2 arena in London this September. The competition pits the continent of Europe against a Rest‑of‑the‑World squad, featuring twelve of the top male tennis players on the planet.
Among the European lineup, world number two Carlos Alcaraz and Wimbledon finalist Alexander Zverev will be leading the charge for Team Europe. On the opposite side, the United States duo of Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz will spearhead Team World, all under the guidance of legendary former champion Andre Agassi, who serves as the team's captain. The coverage will be fronted by presenter Gigi Salmon, who will guide viewers through all twelve matches spread across both day and night sessions.
The schedule includes a full slate of action on Friday, 25 September, and Saturday, 26 September, followed by a single decisive session on Sunday, 27 September. In addition to the live commentary, a dedicated reporter will be on‑site throughout the weekend, providing real‑time updates, player interviews, and behind‑the‑scenes insights for fans watching at home. Beyond the televised broadcast, Sky Sports is also making the Laver Cup accessible via its digital ecosystem.
Viewers in the United Kingdom and Ireland will be able to catch highlights, short clips, and key moments on Sky’s website, mobile app, and social media channels, ensuring that the excitement can be relived even after the live feed ends. Tim Henman, who serves as vice‑captain for Team Europe and is Sky Sports' resident tennis analyst, praised the new arrangement: "It's fantastic news that the Laver Cup will be on Sky Sports. This is a rare chance to watch the very best players in the world come together and represent Europe and the Rest of the World in the spectacular setting of the O2 arena.
Fans should anticipate plenty of drama, passion and rivalry, both on and off the court." The Laver Cup will be streamed contract‑free through the NOW platform, giving subscribers the flexibility to watch on a range of devices without a long‑term commitment. For those who prefer to stay up‑to‑date with scores, results and upcoming fixtures, Sky Sports offers a comprehensive tennis hub within its app, featuring live scores, match previews, and post‑match analysis.
Tennis enthusiasts can also explore a library of video content, including match highlights, player interviews, and curated best‑shot compilations, all available through the Sky Sports app. The platform’s on‑demand library ensures that even if you miss a live session, you can catch up at your convenience. Live tennis coverage on Sky Sports extends well beyond the Laver Cup.
The network will continue to broadcast major tournaments throughout the year, such as the Cincinnati Masters beginning Thursday, 13 August, and the US Open, which kicks off on Sunday, 30 August. In total, Sky Sports plans to air more than 4,000 matches across 80 tournaments this season, a slate that is also available for streaming via NOW and the Sky Sports app. For fans of both the ATP and WTA tours, the upcoming US Open will be a highlight, with full live coverage on Sky Sports and the option to stream through NOW. The comprehensive tennis portfolio ensures that viewers have constant access to top‑level competition, from Grand Slam events to smaller ATP 250 tournaments.
In summary, Sky Sports' agreement to broadcast the Laver Cup from the O2 arena represents a major addition to its tennis lineup.
