After return to London, tennis’ Laver Cup will head to Los Angeles in 2027

Los Angeles has been confirmed as host city for the 10th edition of the Laver Cup, with the three-day men’s team tennis competition set to take place at Intuit Dome in Inglewood from 24-26 September 2027.

The tournament will arrive in California a year after the Laver Cup returns to London, where The O2 will host the 2026 edition from 25-27 September.

For travelling tennis fans, Los Angeles promises a very different setting for the competition – and another opportunity to combine world-class sport with a city break in one of the world’s biggest entertainment destinations.

It will also form part of an extraordinary period for sports tourism in Los Angeles. After hosting matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the city will also host Super Bowl LXI in 2027 and the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2028.

“Los Angeles is in the middle of an extraordinary decade of hosting global sporting events and welcoming the Laver Cup adds another world-class event to that momentum,” said Kathryn Schloessman, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission.

“Its arrival in 2027, between the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, reinforces Los Angeles’ position as one of the world’s leading destinations for major international events and we’re looking forward to welcoming players, fans and visitors from around the world for this unique tennis competition.”

Laver Cup at Intuit Dome

The 2027 tournament will be staged at Intuit Dome, home of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and one of the newest major sports venues in the United States.

Opened in 2024, the arena has been designed around the fan experience, combining technology, premium hospitality and entertainment. It hosted the NBA All-Star Game in 2026 and will also stage basketball during the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

“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.”

Gillian Zucker, CEO of Halo Sports and Entertainment, added: “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.

“We are honoured 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.”

What is the Laver Cup?

Named in honour of Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, the Laver Cup brings together six of Europe’s leading men’s players to compete against six players representing the rest of the world.

The three-day competition is played on the tournament’s distinctive black court and is an official part of the ATP Tour calendar.

Since making its debut in Prague in 2017, the event has travelled to cities including Chicago, Geneva, Boston, London, Vancouver and Berlin.

London also provided the backdrop to perhaps the most famous moment in Laver Cup history in 2022, when Roger Federer ended his professional career at the tournament alongside long-time rival Rafael Nadal and fellow “Big Four” stars Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

Why LA should be on the sports travel bucket list

For sports travellers, the Laver Cup offers another reason to put Los Angeles on the radar for 2027.

As well as three days of tennis at Intuit Dome, visitors can build a wider sporting itinerary around the trip. Los Angeles is home to some of the biggest teams and venues in US sport, with the Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, Rams, Chargers, Kings and LAFC among the city’s major franchises.

September is also a particularly interesting time to visit for sports fans. The MLB regular season is approaching its conclusion, while the NFL season is getting underway, potentially giving international visitors the chance to combine the Laver Cup with baseball or American football.

The tournament will also provide fans with an early opportunity to experience one of the venues that will play a role in the LA28 Olympic Games less than a year later.

Ticket information for the 2027 Laver Cup will be announced later in 2026.
