Laver Cup Media Release, November 10, 2026

The two Grand Slam champions will return to represent Team Europe as they look to defend their crown building on their 13-5 victory over Team World in London in September.

Their early commitment provides an exceptional foundation for Team Europe’s six-man lineup, as the competition heads back to the West Coast of the United States, where Team World will be looking to reclaim the trophy in front of a home crowd.

The tenth edition of Laver Cup will be staged at Intuit Dome, the state-of-the-art home of the NBA’s LA Clippers in Inglewood, California. One of the world’s most technologically advanced sports and entertainment venues, the arena promises an extraordinary setting for Laver Cup’s signature black court, bringing together the world’s best tennis players in an electric atmosphere for three days of intense team competition.

Zverev sits at the top of the world rankings following a remarkable 2026 season in which he claimed his first two Grand Slam titles, at Roland Garros and the US Open, and rose to World No.1 for the first time in his career. The 29-year-old German is also one of the most successful players in Laver Cup history, having competed in a record seven editions since the inaugural event in Prague in 2017 and been part of all six Team Europe title-winning sides.

In London, Zverev secured the winning point for Team Europe for a remarkable fourth time, adding to his title-clinching performances in Chicago 2018, Geneva 2019 and Boston 2021. He is the competition’s all-time leading points scorer with 26 points and holds the record for the most singles victories with eight.

“I’ve been part of Laver Cup since the very beginning and it’s become one of my favorite weeks of the year,” said Zverev.

“Winning in London was a special moment for me and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together as Team Europe. The atmosphere on the bench, the intensity of the matches and the opportunity to compete alongside players who are normally your biggest rivals make it a completely different experience.

To be heading to Los Angeles as defending Laver Cup champions is exciting. I’ve heard great things about the arena and can’t wait to be back with the team and hopefully help Europe win another title.”

Seven-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz will make his fourth consecutive Laver Cup appearance, having made his debut in Berlin in 2024. The 23-year-old Spaniard became the youngest man in history to complete the career Grand Slam when he claimed his first Australian Open title earlier this year.

Alcaraz has been an integral member of Team Europe, winning eight of his ten Laver Cup matches and contributing 18 points across three editions.

He played a decisive role in Team Europe’s victory in Berlin in 2024, defeating Taylor Fritz to clinch the trophy, and was again instrumental in the team’s title-winning campaign in London this September.

“Laver Cup is one of those events I always want to be part of,” said Alcaraz. “I love playing as a team, being on the bench supporting the other guys and sharing those moments together. It’s a completely different feeling to playing for yourself and the atmosphere is always amazing.

“I’m really happy to be coming back for my fourth Laver Cup and to be playing alongside Sascha again. We have had some great times together at this competition and I’m excited to play in Los Angeles and hopefully help Team Europe win another title.”

“We’re delighted that Sascha Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz, two of the biggest stars in tennis, will be returning to Laver Cup for our tenth edition in Los Angeles,” said Tony Godsick, Laver Cup Chairman and TEAM8 CEO.

“They’re both incredible champions who have embraced the unique team format of Laver Cup. The energy and competitive spirit they bring to the court and team bench is something our fans love to see. As we celebrate our tenth edition, we’re looking forward to bringing them to the spectacular Intuit Dome and delivering another unforgettable Laver Cup.”

Team Europe Captain Yannick Noah, who guided Europe to its sixth Laver Cup title in London, welcomed the early commitment of two of the game’s leading players.

“It is great to have Sascha and Carlos back for Team Europe,” said Noah. “They are two incredible champions, but what I love most is the passion and commitment they bring to this competition.”

“Sascha has been part of every Team Europe victory and knows exactly what it takes to win the Laver Cup. Carlos brings so much energy, talent and belief to the team, and the other players respond to that. They are both leaders in their own way and having them committed so early gives us a fantastic start as we prepare to defend our title in Los Angeles.”

The tenth edition of Laver Cup promises another compelling chapter in the rivalry between Team Europe and Team World. Team Europe leads the overall competition 6-3, with the teams having shared the past two titles following Team World’s victory in San Francisco in 2025 and Team Europe’s triumph in London in 2026.
