Chase Center, home of NBA franchise the Golden State Warriors, has been announced as the latest destination for men’s team tennis tournament the Laver Cup.
The San Francisco arena will host the 2025 edition of the event, which pits Team Europe against Team World, from September 19-21 next year. The city has been without a top-level men’s pro tennis event for over a decade, but is now set to see a high calibre 12-man field in action.
The Laver Cup rotates between Europe and rest of the world cities each year. The first four editions were won by Team Europe in Prague (2017), Chicago (2018), Geneva (2019), and Boston (2021). Team World has won the last two titles in London (2022) and Vancouver (2023).
The Laver Cup will be staged this year at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin from September 20-22, with hosting rights to that edition and Vancouver’s event having been awarded in June 2022.
“Chase Center is one of the greatest multipurpose sports and entertainment arenas in the world and is the perfect fit for the Laver Cup,” said Laver Cup CEO, Steve Zacks.
“It is modern, luxurious, and perfectly situated in the heart of Mission Bay, surrounded by an array of retail and eating outlets. We will take advantage of the arena and surrounding district, Thrive City, to fully enhance the Laver Cup fan experience.”
Warriors president and chief operating officer, Brandon Schneider, added: “Laver Cup’s U.S. West Coast debut at Chase Center will deliver world-class experiences to fans from all over the globe.
“We eagerly anticipate the global tennis community converging at Chase Center and Thrive City, and we are ready to showcase the unique charm and hospitality that define San Francisco as the go-to choice for such a prestigious, international event.”
