Tennis royalty returns: Legends Team Cup set for broadcast exclusively on Warner Bros Discovery platforms
Tennis News
Tennis legends are set to return to the spotlight in 2025 as Warner Bros. Discovery secures exclusive European rights to the inaugural Legends Team Cup, an exciting new international team tournament featuring some of the sport’s most iconic players.
The tournament will showcase former ATP stars, including Grand Slam champion Dominic Thiem, live across Europe on Warner Bros. Discovery’s (WBD) platforms HBO Max and discovery+.
Fans will be able to stream every match of the seven-tournament tour, while highlights programmes will air on Eurosport throughout Europe and on TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland.
The Legends Team Cup launches its first event from August 14 to 16, 2025 in Europe, with subsequent tournaments scheduled across Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East throughout the year. Each event lasts three days, featuring two teams competing in a format of two singles matches and one doubles match daily.
Collectively, the three elite teams boast an impressive 503 ATP Tour titles across singles and doubles, all vying to lift the prestigious Bjorn Borg Trophy, named in honour of the tournament’s patron.
The competition is captained by tennis greats Carlos Moya, James Blake, and Mark Philippoussis. Alongside Dominic Thiem, other notable players confirmed include Sam Querrey, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Feliciano Lopez, and Diego Schwartzman. The tour also welcomes recent retirees like Richard Gasquet, who last month played his final professional match at Roland-Garros.
Scott Young, Executive Vice President of WBD Sports Europe, said of the partnership: "We’re thrilled to bring the Legends Team Cup to millions of viewers across Europe. This innovative tournament brings together some of the most iconic names in tennis, which will deliver unforgettable moments for fans in some stunning locations across the globe. The fast-paced, unique format of two sets of four games in the competition makes it a unique proposition for fans to watch.".
He added, "Adding the Legends Team Cup demonstrates our commitment to showcasing innovative sporting formats across the world and we can’t wait to see how some of these tennis greats extend their legacy.".
Marten Hedlund, president of the Legends Team Cup, highlighted the significance of the deal:
“Partnering with Warner Bros. Discovery marks a major milestone for the Legends Team Cup, as we’re now able to showcase our tour to millions of people around the world.".
He continued, "I’ve long had the belief that there should be more opportunities for tennis players to extend their careers once they retire from the ATP Tour, and that is what we are providing with the Legends Team Cup. This is a new chapter in the history of tennis, one where legends can continue to inspire, compete and connect with fans worldwide.".
The Legends Team Cup promises a fresh and exciting chapter for tennis enthusiasts eager to see their favourite stars compete once again on the court.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
