Laver Cup 2026 FAQs

What is the Laver Cup 2026?

Laver Cup 2026: Explained

The Laver Cup is a unique team tennis competition that sees some of the world's best players go head-to-head as part of either Team Europe or Team World.

First held in 2017, the event was created by Roger Federer and his management company, TEAM8, in partnership with Tennis Australia and the ATP. It is named after Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.

Unlike the four Grand Slam tournaments, where players compete individually, the Laver Cup is a team event. Six players represent Team Europe, while six players represent Team World. The teams are led by captains, with legendary former players often taking charge. For 2026, Yannick Noah is captaining Team Europe, while Andre Agassi is leading Team World.

The competition takes place over three days, with four matches played each day. There are singles and doubles matches throughout the weekend, with players representing their respective teams rather than competing for individual ranking points.

One of the most distinctive aspects of the Laver Cup is its scoring system. Matches become increasingly valuable as the weekend progresses.

On Friday, each match win is worth one point. On Saturday, a win is worth two points, while Sunday's matches are worth three points each. With 12 matches scheduled across the three days, there are 24 points available in total.

The first team to reach 13 points wins the Laver Cup.

What is the Laver Cup 2026 prize money?

For the 2026 Laver Cup, the total prize purse is US$1.5 million.

The official Laver Cup confirms that each of the six players on the winning team receives $250,000, while there is no prize money for the losing team.

But there is another payment, as the players also receive an appearance fee, which is separate from the $250,000 prize money.

That fee is determined by each player's ATP singles ranking immediately after the 2026 French Open. So the players aren't simply playing for the $250,000 — everyone receives an appearance fee for taking part, regardless of whether their team wins or loses.

For example, Carlos Alcaraz, who was ranked No. 2 after Roland-Garros, receives the highest appearance fee among the 2026 players, according to Sporting News.
