Delray Beach will once again host the Billie Jean King Cup this November, as Team USA takes on Hungary in a crucial playoff at the Delray Beach Tennis Center on November 21-22. The winner of the best-of-five match series will earn a return to the BJK Cup Qualifying pool and a chance to compete for the title in 2027.

The two-day tie will begin at 1:30 p.m. ET on both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s action will feature two singles matches between the countries’ top two nominated players, while Sunday’s schedule will open with doubles before two additional singles matches decide the tie. The first nation to reach three victories will advance.

The U.S. will once again be led by captain Lindsay Davenport, the International Tennis Hall of Famer who guided the American team to the Billie Jean King Cup final in 2025. The final five-player rosters will be announced no later than four weeks before the competition.

American fans could see some of the country’s biggest stars on home soil. Recent U.S. Billie Jean King Cup teams have included Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula, both South Florida natives, although the official roster for November has yet to be announced.

Delray Beach has been a winning venue for the USA

The choice of Delray Beach is particularly promising for the Americans. The U.S. is 4-0 all-time at the Delray Beach Tennis Center in Billie Jean King Cup competition, with the most recent victory coming in 2023. That year, Gauff and Pegula helped the Americans defeat Austria in front of a near-sellout crowd.

Tickets go on sale August 21

Two-day ticket packages will be available to the general public beginning August 21 at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster, with prices starting at $50. USTA and USTA Coaching Members have access to an advance presale beginning August 20.
