The Billie Jean King Cup 2025 qualifiers are set to get rolling with the qualifiers that will be held across six cities in three continents. The ties will get underway from April 10 to 13.
The tournament will culminate with the Finals in Shenzhen, People’s Republic of China. Nations that will qualify for the finals will be determined from a round-robin group of two ties, consisting of two singles rubbers and a doubles match.
Four of the six groups will be played out on hard courts, with the exceptions being Group E in Poland and Group F in the Netherlands.
Eight countries will earn a spot for the ultimate competition at the year-ender. The teams are split into six groups of three, where the group winners will qualify for the finals alongside hosts China and reigning champions Italy.
