The Laver Cup is heading back to California in 2027 after a record-breaking event last year at the Chase Center in San Francisco. The Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers, will host the 10th annual version of the tennis event that features Team Europe against Team World.
“We’re starting to realize that we do much better when we go to arenas that are new and modern, because it’s not just about a great seat, it’s about a great experience,” Tony Godsick, Team8 CEO and Laver Cup chairman, said in a video call.
The $2 billion Intuit Dome opened in 2024 and is the most technologically advanced NBA arena, with features that include a massive 360-degree Halo Board; Chase Center is the second-newest NBA venue.
The 2026 Laver Cup will be in London at The O2 at the end of September, four years after the arena last hosted the event that marked Roger Federer’s farewell to tennis. The event already has commitments from a half-dozen top 10 players: Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz and Flavio Cobolli. Yannick Noah (Team Europe) and Andre Agassi (Team World) are the captains.
Federer co-founded the event, which is a joint initiative between TEAM8 (founded by Federer and Godsick), Tennis Australia, the USTA and Brazilian billionaire Jorge Paulo Lemann. The USTA invested $6 million for a 20% non-controlling interest in Trident8, the parent company of the Laver Cup, ahead of the first event in Prague in 2017.
