London to host Laver Cup in 2026
The Laver Cup will return to London in 2026 with the O2 Arena set to host the annual battle between Europe and the rest of the world's best male players.
The event previously took place in the English capital in 2022 in what was Roger Federer's final outing before retirement.
The 2026 version will take place from September 25-27.
"My final match in 2022 was filled with emotion and unforgettable memories – being surrounded by my team-mates who were also my greatest rivals – it was everything I could have hoped for," said 20-time Grand Slam champion and Laver Cup co-founder Federer.
"I'm really looking forward to returning to such a meaningful place, this time as a fan, and experiencing the incredible Laver Cup atmosphere once again."
Named in honour of Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, the competition pits two teams of six off in a series of singles and doubles matches across three days of competition.
This year's event will take place in San Francisco from September 19-21.
