Alexander Zverev, Alex de Minaur confirmed for 2026 Laver Cup return

World No.4 Alexander Zverev and World No.6 Alex de Minaur have confirmed they will represent Team Europe and Team World respectively at the ninth edition of the Laver Cup, to be held at The O2 in London from September 25–27, 2026.

“I always love being part of the Laver Cup,” said Zverev in a release provided by the competition. “The team atmosphere is incredible, and the intensity is unlike anything else we play all year. London is a great tennis city and The O2 is one of the most special stadiums in the world for me and has already delivered some unforgettable moments for this event. I’m excited to return and hopefully we can win the title back for Team Europe.”

“Laver Cup is one of the most intense and exciting weeks on the calendar,” added De Minaur. “Playing in London in 2022 was a special moment for our team, and San Francisco showed what this group is capable of. I loved playing under Andre last year and I’m really looking forward to getting back out there in London with him and the team.”

Zverev and De Minaur will add to an already star-studded lineup .

A six-time Laver Cup competitor and the event’s all-time leading points scorer, Zverev returns to London with unfinished business after last year’s defeat in San Francisco—the first Laver Cup loss of his career.

The German had previously been part of Team Europe’s title-winning teams in Prague (2017), Chicago (2018), Geneva (2019), Boston (2021) and Berlin (2024), establishing himself as one of the most influential performers in the competition’s history.

Zverev also returns to London, a city where he has enjoyed significant success, including winning the ATP Finals at The O2 in 2018. He has had a strong start to the 2026 season, reaching the Australian Open semifinals, where he was defeated in a five-set battle by teammate Alcaraz.

Team Europe Captain Yannick Noah welcomed Zverev’s return.

“Sascha understands this competition as well as anyone,” said Noah. “He’s been part of all of Team Europe’s Laver Cup victories over the years, and even in tough moments he’s someone the team can rely on. His experience, leadership and competitiveness will be hugely important for us as we aim to win back the cup.”

I’m excited to return and hopefully we can win the title back for Team Europe. Alexander Zverev

Team World’s top-ranked player and winner of last week’s ATP 500 event in Rotterdam, de Minaur will compete in his third Laver Cup. Having been part of Team World’s historic first title victory in London in 2022, he was pivotal again last year in San Francisco, where he won all three of his matches to help secure another victory for Team World.

Agassi said De Minaur’s impact in San Francisco reinforced why he is such a key figure within Team World.

“Alex is a fierce competitor and the consummate professional,” said Agassi. “Our week together in San Francisco gave me an even greater appreciation for him and what he brings to the team. I’m extremely excited to have him back as a part of Team World.”

The 2026 edition marks the Laver Cup’s return to London, the site of one of the most iconic moments in tennis history, when Roger Federer played the final match of his career at The O2 in 2022 alongside his great rival Rafael Nadal and fellow “Big Four” members Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

With Team World having claimed three of the last four Laver Cup titles, the rivalry between Europe and the World will reignite in front of a passionate London crowd. Fans can expect unrivaled matchups, never-before-seen doubles pairings and the world’s biggest tennis stars joining forces as teammates in the ultimate team competition.
