Discovery Sports has signed a ten-year agreement to show the Laver Cup tennis tournament between 2021 and 2030.
It will be screened across Europe on Discovery’s portfolio of channels including Eurosport and Discovery+.
The tournament, first launched in 2017 by TEAM8 – the Sports and Entertainment company co-founded by Roger Federer, and named after 11-time Grand Slam champion Rod Laver, pits six of the top men’s tennis players from Europe against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world. The three-day tournament was first introduced in 2017.
Andrew Georgiou, President of Sports, Discovery, said: “Discovery has a proven track record of unlocking the power of tennis through the best storytelling, deep sports expertise and world-class technology to produce and distribute coverage and content around the biggest tournaments to large and unmatched audiences. We look forward to working as a trusted partner to the Laver Cup to continue growing the reach of the tournament for all to enjoy.”
Discovery Sports recently signed a ten-year deal with Tennis Australia to show the Australian Open exclusively in Europe until at least 2031.
