In 2026, the United Cup will replace the ATP Cup as the first tennis tournament in Australia. From anywhere in the world, you can watch the 2026 United Cup tennis live streaming in full HD on your smart device.

National teams will go head-to-head in the mixed warm-up event before the Australian Open. Some of the biggest names in the sport will be there.

How does the United Cup work?

The United Cup is a new team-based tennis tournament for both men and women. In 2026, 18 nations (four men and four women) will compete for the inaugural title.

Countries will be put into six groups of three teams each, and the event will end with the semi-finals and a final in Sydney.

In the round-robin stage, each team will play four singles matches, two between men and two between women, and one mixed doubles match.

There will be an AU$17,000,000 prize pool, so players will have a lot of reasons to take part in the warm-up event.

When is the United Cup and where is it?

The ATP Cup was played in three different cities: Brisbane, Perth, and Sydney. However, the brand-new United Cup tournament will be held across two cities, Perth and Sydney, in 2026

The competition will last 11 days, beginning January 2, 2026, and ending January 11, 2026.

Between January 2 and 7, two groups of three countries will participate in each host city until the top four teams meet in Sydney on January 5 and 7.

The winners in each city, plus the three best runners-up, will make up the top four nations.

How do countries get chosen to participate in the United Cup?

In 2026, the first tournament will be held, with 18 countries taking part. Twelve of the countries will be chosen from the countries of the top six men's and women's players in the ATP and WTA rankings.

The other six teams get in based on the combined rankings of the men's and women's teams.
