The United Cup 2026 is scheduled from January 2-11, serving up as a tune-up tournament ahead of the Australian Open- the first grand slam of the year.
The event is set to take place in Perth and Sydney, Australia.
The United Cup is an international hard court tennis competition featuring mixed-gender teams from 18 countries. The event is played across multiple Australian cities over 11 days in the leadup to the Australian Open.
With stars such as Coco Gauff, Taylor Fritz, Alex de Minaur, Iga Swiatek and Emma Raducanu in action, the tournament promises to be an absolute cracker.
United States are the defending champions.
