Los Angeles Selected to Host Historic 10th Edition of Laver Cup in 2027
LOS ANGELES — In a major announcement for sports fans, officials have confirmed that Los Angeles will host the 10th edition of the Laver Cup in September 2027. The famous three-day team tennis tournament will take place at the brand-new, ultra-modern Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, from September 24 to September 26, 2027.
The announcement marks a massive milestone for the tournament. Over the past decade, the Laver Cup has grown from an ambitious new event into one of the most exciting and highly anticipated highlights on the global tennis calendar. First held in Prague in 2017, the tournament has captured the imagination of fans worldwide by turning the sport’s greatest individual rivals into passionate teammates. For three intensive days, twelve of the world’s finest male tennis players compete in a unique team format that splits the field into Team Europe and Team World.
The choice of Los Angeles for the 2027 edition comes at a perfect time for the city. Southern California is currently preparing for an unprecedented run of major international sporting events over the coming years. This incredible decade of sports includes matches for the FIFA World Cup, the arrival of Super Bowl LXI, and the highly anticipated 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The addition of the Laver Cup to this lineup ensures that tennis fans will have a premier world-class event to celebrate right in the heart of this historic sporting boom.
A Vision Realized: The Story Behind the Tournament
The Laver Cup was born from the creative vision of Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer. He wanted to build an annual event that would achieve two major goals: honor the immense legacy of the legendary Australian tennis player Rod Laver—the only player to win all four Grand Slam singles titles in the same calendar year twice—and celebrate the unique competitive spirit of modern professional tennis.
“Roger Federer’s vision was to create an event that honored Rod Laver and celebrated the very best of our sport,” said Laver Cup Chairman and TEAM8 CEO Tony Godsick. “From the beginning, we set out to build a team competition unlike anything else in tennis, bringing the world’s best players together as teammates. As we prepare for the 10th edition of the Laver Cup, it’s incredibly rewarding to see how that vision has been embraced by fans, players and partners around the world.”
Before the Laver Cup came to exist, tennis was almost entirely an individual sport, except for traditional team events like the Davis Cup. The Laver Cup offered something completely fresh: a fast-paced, high-stakes tournament where players who fight each other every week on the ATP Tour suddenly sit on the same bench, coach each other during matches, and cheer together from the sidelines. This unique dynamic has resulted in some of the most memorable images in modern sports history.
The Journey to Los Angeles via London
Before the tournament travels across the Atlantic to California, the tennis world will first look toward London. The capital of the United Kingdom will host the ninth edition of the Laver Cup later this year, from September 25 to September 27, at the iconic O2 Arena. London holds an emotional and permanent place in the history of the competition.
In 2022, London’s O2 Arena was the backdrop for what many consider the most unforgettable moment in modern tennis history. It was during that edition of the Laver Cup that Roger Federer officially brought his legendary professional career to a close. In his final competitive match, Federer played doubles alongside his greatest career rival and close friend, Rafael Nadal. The emotional night saw the rest of tennis’s famous “Big Four”—Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray—standing together on the sidelines as part of Team Europe, creating a powerful image of respect and friendship that defined the very essence of what the tournament stands for.
Following what promises to be an exceptional return to London this year, Los Angeles will pick up the torch. The transition from London to Los Angeles marks a deliberate move to host the tournament in iconic cities with deep sporting roots and massive global audiences.
Intuit Dome: A Futuristic Stage for Tennis
The selection of the venue for the 2027 tournament has generated immense excitement among players and organizers alike. The matches will be played on the Laver Cup’s signature, dramatic black hard court inside the Intuit Dome, located in Inglewood, California.
The Intuit Dome is the official home of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and stands proud as one of the newest, most innovative sports and live entertainment venues on the planet. Since its grand opening in 2024, the arena has completely redefined what fans expect from a live event. It features an incredible mix of cutting-edge technology, top-tier premium hospitality, and an architectural design that puts the fan experience above everything else.
“Los Angeles is one of the world’s leading destinations for major sporting events and live entertainment,” said Laver Cup CEO Steve Zacks. “Intuit Dome has redefined the fan experience and set a new benchmark for live sport. We can think of no better city and venue to host the 10th edition of the Laver Cup.”
Despite being open for only a short time, the Intuit Dome has already built a resume as a premier destination for major world-class events. It successfully hosted the 2026 NBA All-Star Game and has already been designated as the official future home for basketball during the upcoming Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. This makes the venue an absolutely perfect match for the precise, high-energy demands of the Laver Cup.
A Tremendous Decade of Sports in Southern California
The arrival of the Laver Cup in late 2027 adds another spectacular item to Los Angeles’s packed calendar. Local leaders view the tournament as a critical bridge that keeps the city’s sports momentum moving forward at an amazing speed.
Kathryn Schloessman, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission, emphasized the strategic importance of this announcement. She noted that Los Angeles is currently in the absolute middle of an extraordinary decade of hosting global sporting events. Welcoming a premier tournament like the Laver Cup adds vital energy to that ongoing momentum.
Schloessman explained that having the event arrive in September 2027—perfectly positioned between the massive crowds of the FIFA World Cup and the global spotlight of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games—solidifies the city’s position as a global leader for major international sports. The city is eagerly looking forward to opening its doors to elite players, passionate fans, and international visitors for this highly unique tennis competition.
The Unique Format of the Competition
For fans who are new to the sport, the Laver Cup operates under a unique set of rules that distinguishes it from standard tournaments on the ATP Tour, where players compete strictly for individual titles.
The basic setup pits six of the absolute best male tennis players from Europe against six of their top counterparts from the rest of the world. The tournament takes place over three action-packed days, featuring a combination of singles and doubles matches.
A key element of the tournament is its progressive scoring system:
- Friday Matches: Worth 1 point each.
- Saturday Matches: Worth 2 points each.
- Sunday Matches: Worth 3 points each.
This clever design ensures that the overall winner cannot be decided too early, keeping the suspense high until the final day. Furthermore, the tournament is an official, recognized part of the annual ATP Tour calendar, meaning it carries significant prestige and respect throughout the entire tennis community.
The physical environment is also famous for its styling; the court is painted a deep, sleek black color, which makes the yellow tennis balls highly visible and gives the television broadcast a dramatic, premium look.
“The Laver Cup has quickly become one of the premier events on the tennis calendar, bringing together the best players in the world and creating an atmosphere unlike anything else in the sport,” said Gillian Zucker, CEO of Halo Sports and Entertainment. “We are honored to welcome the Laver Cup to Intuit Dome in 2027 and to host fans from around the world for a week that celebrates competition and the global appeal of the sport. We look forward to showcasing our city, our building, and delivering an unforgettable experience for players, fans, and partners alike.”

Since its inception nearly a decade ago, the Laver Cup has made a point of traveling to some of the world’s most famous and vibrant cities, alternating its location each year between Europe and the rest of the world.
