Vancouver in Canada and the German capital Berlin have been named as the host cities for the 2023 and 2024 editions, respectively, of the Laver Cup, tennis’ annual men’s team competition contested by Europe and the rest of the world.

The process was conducted by The Sports Consultancy, the London-based sports and events agency.
Angus Buchanan, managing director and co-founder of The Sports Consultancy, said: “Demand for the Laver Cup has been significant, and one of the most sought-after projects we have worked on.
“Vancouver and Berlin both presented outstanding submissions and I’m delighted with their success and the announcement today. We are now working closely with the Laver Cup team to finalize hosts for 2025 and 2026 over the coming months.”
The Laver Cup will be staged at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena from September 22 to 24 in 2023, while Berlin’s Mercedes-Benz Arena will host the competition from September 20 to 22 in 2024.
Steve Zacks, Laver Cup chief executive, said: “We’re delighted to bring the Laver Cup in 2023 to Vancouver, a city which is renowned for hosting major sporting events. It will also be our first time coming to the West. And then in 2024, we look forward to staging the event in Berlin, one of the coolest cities in Europe.
“Both cities are exceptional, progressive destinations with incredible facilities and a rich cultural heritage, along with thriving tennis communities. We look forward to making more Laver Cup history in Vancouver and Berlin.”
