Laver Cup 2026 begins in London with Team World defending title

The 2026 Laver Cup is scheduled to run from September 25 to 27 at London’s O2 Arena, with Team World entering as defending champion after beating Team Europe 15-9 in San Francisco last year. The three-day competition brings together six-player teams representing Europe and the rest of the world, with Yannick Noah captaining Europe and Andre Agassi leading Team World. The opening-day schedule features singles and doubles matches, but the available account of the first contest between Europe’s Casper Ruud and Team World’s Francisco Cerundolo does not report a result. The tournament’s overall outcome was not established in the information available on Friday, September 25. A report on the opening match said Roger Federer and musician Jon Bon Jovi were seen sitting courtside together at the arena. Federer, a co-founder of the competition, was described as watching the match; the sighting was reported in one account and was not independently confirmed in the other available coverage. The Laver Cup’s format differs from a standard individual tournament. Players compete for their teams across singles and doubles matches, with four matches scheduled each day.
