Andre Agassi and Yannik Noah debut as Laver Cup captains this weekend.

Tennis Channel will be your Laver Cup home for all the action.

Tennis Channel will again serve as the exclusive U.S. broadcast of the annual Laver Cup team competition, live September 19-21st, from Chase Center in San Francisco.

For the first time since 2021, the Laver Cup returns stateside, bringing U.S. fans rare primetime access. The Laver Cup takes place starting Friday, September 19th at 4 p.m. Eastern time.

Team Europe is led by newly crowned US Open champion and world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz – making his first on-court appearance since his championship victory – joined by third-ranked Alexander Zverev, No. 11 Holger Rune, 12th-ranked Casper Ruud, Miami Open champion Jakub Menšík, and Wimbledon quarterfinalist Flavio Cobolli.

Team World will feature 2024 US Open finalist and No. 5 Taylor Fritz joining forces with Aussie Alex de Minaur, Francisco Cerúndolo, American Alex Michelsen, Brazilian sensation João Fonseca and Reilly Opelka. Yannick Noah takes over for Bjorn Borg guiding Team Europe and Andre Agassi succeeds John McEnroe leading Team World, as both make their debuts as Laver Cup captains.

Tennis Channel will devote more than 24 live hours to the three-day event, and close to 40 hours overall with encore replays each day. Anchored on-site live at the Laver Cup, the on-air team features Brad Gilbert, who joins the Tennis Channel desk for the first time, alongside renowned hosts Prakash Amritraj, Steve Weissman and Jon Wertheim.

New this year, the Tennis Channel app will simulcast Laver Cup singles matches on its Laver Cup Animated feed, providing real-time animated overlays and offering fans a fresh, gamified approach to tennis coverage originally introduced at Australian Open 2025.

“We’re excited to bring the Laver Cup back to the US,” said Tony Godsick. “Together with Tennis Channel we’re not only delivering a world-class competition, we’re reimagining how fans can experience the game.”

Coverage begins Thursday, September 18, with the premiere of the Laver Cup Line-Up Show at 10:00 p.m. ET, followed by three full days of action from first ball to last ball, September 19-21. The network’s Tennis Channel Live will air at 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday ahead of the evening sessions, with a special pre-match edition at 2:30 p.m. Sunday leading into the final matches of the event.

Laver Cup, which is named after legendary Australian player Rod Laver, takes place every September, gathering all-star lineups with the top players in men’s tennis. The competition’s unique scoring format rewards one point for each of the three singles and one doubles match on Friday, and two points for each of the same on Saturday.  Sunday’s doubles match, and any necessary singles matches following it, are worth three points each.  In this way Laver Cup favors come-from behind rallies by a team that begins slowly on Friday but finds its groove over the weekend.  The first team to 13 points wins the event.
