The broadcaster’s coverage will include the second round of the Davis Cup qualifiers (scheduled for September 12–14) and the final eight, to be held in Bologna between November 18 and 23, as well as the BJK Cup qualifiers (April 10-13), play-offs, and finals (taking place in Shenzhen later this year).
BeIN also recently extended its rights deal for the Davis Cup and BJK Cup (formerly Fed Cup) in France through 2026.
The Qatar-based operator has shown the competitions in France since 2015.
David Haggerty, ITF president, said: “This is significant news for the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup. BeIN has been a long-time partner and their coverage of the World Cup of Tennis is fantastic, and we’re pleased to continue working with them to showcase the unique passion and excitement of the World Cup of Tennis in some of our key markets.”

At the beginning of the year, BeIN announced that it would continue exclusively broadcasting the Australian Open in MENA through 2029, alongside the other three grand slam tournaments that the network also holds exclusive rights to in the region.
In January, the pay-TV giant also announced the extension of its exclusive rights to the ATP Tour across MENA, Australia, and Southeast Asia until 2028.
BeIN additionally holds ATP rights in Australia through 2027 in a deal renewed last year.
