Sky Sports has finalized an agreement with production partner Trident8 to bring the entire three‑day Laver Cup tournament to viewers from the iconic O2 arena in London this September. The event will feature twelve of the world’s elite male tennis players competing in the annual showdown that pits Team Europe against a composite Team World. Among the European lineup, world number two Carlos Alcaraz and Wimbledon finalist Alexander Zverev will be front‑and‑center, representing the continent’s finest talent. On the opposite side, the United States duo of Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz will spearhead Team World, which will be guided by legendary former champion Andre Agassi, who serves as the team’s captain.
The coverage will be anchored by presenter Gigi Salmon, who will guide audiences through all twelve matches spread across day and night sessions on Friday, 25 September, and Saturday, 26 September, with a final, decisive session on Sunday, 27 September. In addition to the live commentary, a dedicated on‑site reporter will provide real‑time updates, interviews, and behind‑the‑scenes insights to keep fans fully informed throughout the weekend’s action. Beyond the televised broadcast, Sky Sports is extending the Laver Cup experience to its digital ecosystem.
Viewers in the United Kingdom and Ireland will be able to access match clips, highlights, and exclusive content via Sky’s online platforms and social media channels, ensuring that the excitement can be relived at any time. Tim Henman, who serves as vice‑captain for Team Europe and is also Sky Sports’ resident tennis analyst, welcomed the partnership, stating: “It’s fantastic news that the Laver Cup will be shown on Sky Sports.
This tournament offers a rare chance to see the very best players in the world unite under the banners of Team Europe and Team World, all within the spectacular setting of the O2 arena. Fans can look forward to a weekend packed with drama, passion, and fierce rivalry, both on the court and off it.” The Laver Cup will be available to stream without a separate contract through NOW, Sky’s over‑the‑top streaming service, providing an additional avenue for audiences who prefer online viewing. In conjunction with the live broadcast, Sky Sports will continue to deliver comprehensive tennis coverage throughout the year, including the Cincinnati Open beginning Thursday, 13 August, and the US Open starting Sunday, 30 August. This season, Sky Sports is slated to air more than 4,000 matches across 80 tournaments, a breadth of programming that will also be accessible via the NOW platform and the Sky Sports mobile app.
