The 2025 Laver Cup takes place from September 19 to September 21 at San Francisco's Chase Center.
Team Europe and Team World will lock horns over three days of exciting matchups between some of the very best male tennis players in the world, including US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz and United States star Taylor Fritz.
The Laver Cup represents a rare chance for elite-level players to compete as part of a team, with shared glory on the line for those involved.
However, tournament prize money remains an individual calculation, with players rewarded for winning the event and compensated via appearance fees based on their world ranking earlier in the season.

Laver Cup appearance fee
Players involved in the Laver Cup are also rewarded with an appearance fee. This is calculated according to their ATP singles ranking the Monday after the 2025 French Open.
That means Carlos Alcaraz, who was ranked No. 2 after Roland-Garros, will earn the highest appearance fee. Team Europe teammate Alexander Zverev is next on the list, having been at No. 3 after the French Open. The biggest appearance fee for a player for Team World will go to Taylor Fritz, who was ranked seventh in the world.
It's important to note that Laver Cup results do not have any bearing on the ATP rankings themselves, even though those standings are used to determine how much players earn for taking part.
