The Legends Team Cup, a new era of tennis competition, is an eight-event global tour, spanning two stops each in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas. The competition unites legendary elite players in world-class destinations, creating an unparalleled stage for high-stakes games, with the first event in the summer series taking place in Saint Barths in the Caribbean from June 12-14, 2025.

After the kick off in St Barths, the excitement continues from July 16-18 at New York's UBS Arena and then moves to St. Moritz's historic Olympia Stadion from August 14-16, a venue originally built for the 1948 Winter Olympics. Following this thrilling series, the Fall Session begins in October, building momentum toward the highly anticipated Grand Superfinal where ultimate champions will be crowned.

The Legends Team Cup is a defining moment for the sport – it will give the best players in the business a life after the ATP Tour that is more than just exhibition matches – a real competition. Along with a $12 million prize pool, the winning players will also receive a trophy named in honor of Björn Borg, a symbol of excellence, perseverance, and tennis at its highest level.

"Tennis has given me everything – now it’s time to give back. Legends Team Cup is unlike anything the tennis world has seen before, and I am honoured to attach my name to this electrifying competition where champions continue to inspire, compete, and make history,” Björn Borg said. “It represents everything I love about tennis – the passion, the rivalries, and the commitment to excellence. It’s a new chapter in the sport’s history, and I am proud to be a part of it. This platform gives legendary players another opportunity to compete at a high level and continue our journey in tennis beyond the ATP Tour. The hunger for competition never fades, and with this tour, we can keep that spirit alive while engaging with our loyal fan base in exciting new ways."

The competition is made up of three teams, and selected iconic captains will choose from the pool of 18 legendary players during the first Annual Player Draft. Current players in the mix for the Legends Team Cup 2025 include Dominic Thiem, Diego Schwartzman, Fernando Verdasco, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Juan Mónaco, Marcos Baghdatis, Mike Bryan, Bob Bryan, Tommy Haas, David Ferrer, Radek Štěpánek, Philipp Kohlschreiber, Tommy Robredo, and Feliciano López.

The short 45-minute max match set up ensures explosive, fiercely competitive battles between the players. Fans will witness epic rivalries reignited, jaw-dropping tie-breaks, and astonishing comebacks. Whether seasoned tennis aficionados or first-time spectators, everyone will be part of a historic sports experience. The competition ensures players, fans, and sponsors alike will have access to a visionary and stable competition, the like of which has never been seen before.
