Tennis Channel’s Laver Cup Coverage Follows Most-Watched Summer in Network History

Tennis Channel will devote more than 24 live hours to the three-day event, and close to 40 hours overall with encore replays each day. Anchored on-site live at the Laver Cup, the on-air team features Brad Gilbert, who joins the Tennis Channel desk for the first time, alongside renowned hosts Prakash Amritraj, Steve Weissman and Jon Wertheim.

This year’s Laver Cup follows record-breaking viewership for Tennis Channel, highlighted by milestone audiences for the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open, marking the network’s strongest summer in its television history.

Laver Cup Animated, an Innovative Fusion of Live Match Streaming and Dynamic Overlays, Debuts on the Tennis Channel App

New this year, the Tennis Channel app will simulcast Laver Cup singles matches on its Laver Cup Animated feed, providing real-time animated overlays and offering fans a fresh, gamified approach to tennis coverage originally introduced at Australian Open 2025. Fans can also tune in to Tennis Channel 2, the network’s sibling channel, for expanded event coverage, including select matches on the Laver Cup Animated feed.

“The Laver Cup has quickly become one of the sport’s premier events, and we’re proud to deliver it exclusively across Tennis Channel’s platforms,” said Jeff Blackburn, Chairman and CEO of Tennis Channel. “From live coverage on our networks, to streaming on our Tennis Channel app and website, to the launch of Laver Cup Animated, fans can experience every match and every point all weekend long.”

"We're excited to bring the Laver Cup back to the US," said Tony Godsick. "Together with Tennis Channel we’re not only delivering a world-class competition, we’re reimagining how fans can experience the game.”

Coverage begins Thursday, Sept. 18, with the premiere of the Laver Cup Line-Up Show at 10:00 p.m. ET, followed by three full days of action from first ball to last ball, Sept. 19-21. The network’s Tennis Channel Live will air at 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday ahead of the evening sessions, with a special pre-match edition at 2:30 p.m. Sunday leading into the final matches of the event.

Laver Cup, which is named after legendary Australian player Rod Laver, takes place every September, gathering all-star lineups with the top players in men’s tennis. The competition’s unique scoring format rewards one point for each of the three singles and one doubles match on Friday, and two points for each of the same on Saturday. Sunday’s doubles match, and any necessary singles matches following it, are worth three points each. In this way Laver Cup favors come-from behind rallies by a team that begins slowly on Friday but finds its groove over the weekend. The first team to 13 points wins the event.

The Tennis Channel App and TennisChannel.com offer subscribers access to the live linear network, plus more than 10,000 hours of matches and original programming on-demand. Visitors can access clips from interviews and Tennis Channel Live next to live scores and special features. Tennis.com will also be a news source for highlights and schedule information.
