Sky Sports has acquired UK and Ireland rights to the 2026 Laver Cup through an agreement with Trident8.

The broadcaster will show all three days of the men’s team tennis competition live from London’s O2 Arena between September 25 and 27.

Its coverage comprises 12 matches, with day and evening sessions on Friday and Saturday followed by the concluding session on Sunday. Gigi Salmon will present, supported by an on-site reporter.

Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev will represent Team Europe, while Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz are among the Team World line-up. Andre Agassi will captain Team World.

Team Europe vice-captain Tim Henman will also contribute to Sky Sports’ coverage. “It’s a unique opportunity to see the best players in the world coming together to represent Team Europe and Team World at the iconic O2 Arena,” he said.

Clips and highlights will be distributed through Sky Sports’ digital and social platforms.

The Laver Cup joins a Sky tennis portfolio that includes the ATP and WTA Tours, the Cincinnati Open and the US Open. Sky says it will carry more than 4,000 matches from 80 tournaments this season.
