The World Team Cup 2026 brings real tennis clubs from around the world into Tennis Esports.
Starting on November 9, 2026, clubs will compete with teams of exactly three players, creating a direct link between traditional tennis communities and virtual competition.
Team Format
Every team must officially represent a real tennis club and compete under that club’s name.
Each team consists of three players, with at least one player required to serve manually, including the real-life ball toss.
Clubs may also organize their own internal qualification tournaments to select the three players who will represent them in the World Team Cup.
Competition Format
The teams will compete in a Round Robin format from November 9 to November 29.
The two best teams advance to the World Team Cup Final, taking place during the first week of December.
The winning club will receive the:

Bringing the Real Club Into the Virtual World
Club identity will play an important role throughout the competition.
Before major matches, clubs may present a short video showing their clubhouse, courts, players, city and supporters.
Club matches can also be streamed LIVE on Twitch, with the option of live commentary.
Clubs may organize watch parties at their real clubhouse or meet virtually inside the Tennis Esports Social Club.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Each team has a captain who may also help organize sponsorships for the club.
Club or sponsor branding may appear on the virtual court banners, tennis net, billboards and other in-game locations, creating additional opportunities for clubs and their partners.
