Davis Cup 2026 Qualifiers Round Two: matchups, streaming and where to watch (Sept 18-20)
Round Two of the Davis Cup 2026 Qualifiers will be contested from September 18-20, 2026 across various host nations, featuring ties including Germany v Croatia, Spain v Chile, USA v Czechia, Canada v France in Quebec City, Belgium v Austria, Great Britain v Ecuador and South Korea v India.
The road to Bologna resumes this week, with seven nations facing elimination and a place in the Davis Cup 2026 Final at stake. Teams require three match wins to secure a place in the Final 8 alongside hosts and defending champions Italy.
Several high-profile matchups headline the round: Alexander Zverev leads Germany against Croatia, Spain travel to Chile with a squad built around Jaume Munar and Pedro Martinez, and the United States send Ben Shelton to face a Czechia side led by Jakub Mensik and Jiri Lehecka.
A marquee tie in Quebec City pairs Canada, captained by Felix Auger-Aliassime, with an experienced French unit featuring Arthur Fils and Arthur Rinderknech. Belgium’s Zizou Bergs and Alexander Blockx are scheduled to visit Austria for their second-round encounter.
Great Britain will host Ecuador in one of the remaining ties, while South Korea welcome India in a fixture described as historically significant for both nations. Yuki Bhambri was ruled out of the India–South Korea Davis Cup 2026 tie.
Broadcast arrangements vary by territory: tennis fans in India can stream Round Two live for free on the VETO App, with the VETO OTT platform having secured streaming rights and the VETO App available for download on Android TV, Fire TV Stick and Apple TV. In the UK, the second round will be live-streamed on the BBC Sport website and BBC iPlayer, while the Tennis Channel holds the broadcasting rights for the USA; currently there is no official television broadcaster confirmed for the competition.
Winners from these ties will advance to the quarter-finals to join reigning champions Team Italy, and the Davis Cup 2026 final is scheduled to take place at SuperTennis Arena Bologna Fiera, Bologna, Italy.
