Davis Cup
How to watch the Davis Cup Final 8 in the UK. The eight-nation finals are played from 24 to 29 November 2026 at the SuperTennis Arena in Bologna, and Great Britain open against Germany on the morning of Thursday 26 November. This guide covers the UK broadcasters, the start time of every tie in UK time and when to tune in for Britain.
UK TV and Streaming
| Platform | Coverage |
|---|---|
| BBC | Great Britain’s ties, streamed on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website |
| Tennis Channel | Davis Cup coverage in the UK |
The official Davis Cup broadcast list names Tennis Channel and the BBC as the UK partners for 2026. Britain’s home tie against Ecuador in September was shown live on BBC iPlayer, and the BBC has not yet published its listings for Bologna, so check BBC Sport closer to 26 November for the exact streams. Unlike the ATP Tour, the Davis Cup is not shown on Sky Sports.
UK Start Times
Bologna is one hour ahead of the UK, so every tie starts an hour earlier in UK time than the local schedule.

| Wednesday 25 November | Quarter-final: Italy v South Korea | 3pm |
