Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev are the first two players officially confirmed to represent Team Europe at the 2027 Laver Cup, tournament organizers announced.
The tenth edition of the annual exhibition tournament will take place from September 24 to 26, 2027, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, according to reports from MARCA and ESPN México.
Team Europe heads to the West Coast as defending champions following a victory over Team World at the O2 Arena in London last September. Both Alcaraz and Zverev played instrumental roles in securing that title.
Alexander Zverev enters the 2027 roster as the tournament’s all-time leading points scorer, accumulating 26 points across 19 matches with an 11-8 record, as noted by Canal Tenis.
The German player has featured in seven editions since the tournament’s inception in Prague in 2017, participating in Chicago, Geneva, Boston, Berlin, and San Francisco, before capturing his sixth team title in London.
Carlos Alcaraz is set for his fourth consecutive appearance on the gray court, having played in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tournaments. Infobae reported that the Spaniard holds an 8-2 match record and has contributed 18 points to Team Europe.
Alcaraz is tied with tournament founder Roger Federer in career points for the European side, trailing only Jack Sock with 20 points and Zverev with 26.

Reflecting on his return, Alexander Zverev shared his thoughts in a statement from the certamen:
“Formo parte de la Laver Cup desde sus comienzos y se convirtió en una de mis semanas favoritas del año. Ganar en Londres fue un momento especial para mí y estoy orgulloso de lo que conseguimos juntos como Equipo Europa.”
“El ambiente en el banco, la intensidad de los partidos y la posibilidad de competir junto a jugadores que normalmente son tus mayores rivales hacen que sea una experiencia completamente diferente. Es emocionante llegar a Los Ángeles como campeones defensores de la Laver Cup.”
“Estoy muy contento de regresar para disputar mi cuarta Laver Cup y de volver a jugar junto a Sascha. Vivimos grandes momentos juntos en esta competencia y estoy entusiasmado por jugar en Los Ángeles y, ojalá, ayudar al Team Europe a ganar otro título.”
Punto de Break reported Alcaraz won several matches during the September 2026 event in London, partnering with Jakub Mensik in doubles before saving a match point to defeat Taylor Fritz in singles.
Zverev clinched the definitive three points for Team Europe in London by defeating Learner Tien, rebounding from an earlier opening-match defeat against Alex de Miñaur.
With both stars locked in early for Los Angeles 2027, the tournament prepares to celebrate its milestone tenth edition on the home court of the Los Angeles Clippers.
