*If necessary
Each day, three singles matches and one doubles match are played, to the best of three sets with the last being disputed as a 10-point tie-break match format.
A team wins by reaching 13 points. Friday’s wins are worth one point, Saturday’s two points and Sunday’s three points — which ensures that no team can become champion before the last day.
If the competition is tied after 12 matches, a final overtime doubles match is played.
All players play at least one singles match between Friday and Saturday and at least four of them participate in doubles.
If only one match is required to win on Sunday, an exhibition match will be played following the trophy ceremony.
Where is the Laver Cup being played?

It will be the third time the event has been played in the United States, with it previously being held at the United Center in Chicago (2018) and Boston’s TD Garden (2021).
