Six Kings Slam 2026 Announced, Schedule, Participants, More for Netflix Tennis Exhibition

For the third consecutive year, some of the top men's tennis players in the world are coming together for a star-studded tournament.

On Tuesday, Netflix and HE Turki Alalshikh announced that the third annual Six Kings Slam is returning to Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia, featuring defending champion Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur. The three-day tournament will be held on Oct. 21, 22 and 24, and Netflix will stream the competition for the second straight year.

The Six Kings Slam debuted in 2024 with Sinner defeating Alcaraz in a thrilling final to win the title. That tournament also featured the legendary Rafael Nadal losing to fellow icon Djokovic in his final competitive exhibition before his retirement. Sinner successfully defended his title in 2025 after defeating Alcaraz in the final once again, adding another chapter to their already storied rivalry.

"I'm happy to be back in Riyadh to defend my Six Kings Slam title once again," Sinner said in a release. "It's a great event with an amazing atmosphere, and I can't wait to compete this October."

"I'm excited to return to Riyadh for another Six Kings Slam," Alcaraz added. "The atmosphere is always incredible, and it's a privilege to be part of such a unique event alongside some of the best players in the world."

Fritz and Zverev are making their second appearances in the Six Kings Slam, while de Minaur is making his tournament debut.

"I'm thrilled to make my Six Kings Slam debut this year," de Minaur said. "I've heard great things about the event, and I'm looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere and competing in Riyadh for the first time."
