The second edition of the Six Kings Slam tennis exhibition tournament will be streamed live on Netflix, as six of the world’s best men’s players compete in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The inaugural edition of the four-day event was held last year in October at the same venue, as world No. 1 Jannik Sinner won the title with a victory over Carlos Alcaraz, taking home $6 million, the biggest prize check in tennis history. All participants received $1.5 million each for their appearance.
This year, the tournament will be held from October 15 to 18 and will be streamed live and exclusively on Netflix to over 300 million subscribers across the globe at no additional cost. DAZN acquired the global rights to broadcast the first edition, with T2 airing the matches in the United States.
The 2025 field features several heavyweights. Reigning champion and top-ranked Sinner headlines the field and is joined by five-time major champion and world No. 2 Alcaraz.
Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, will also compete along with three-time major finalist Alexander Zverev, last year’s U.S. Open finalist Taylor Fritz and world No. 5 Jack Draper.
Sinner, Alcaraz and Djokovic all played in the 2024 edition, in which 22-time major champion Rafael Nadal also featured before his retirement later that year.
IMG, part of TKO Group Holdings, Inc., will produce the host broadcast and content.
“Fans will enjoy unparalleled access, with over 20 cutting-edge cameras, including wirecam, drone, robotic technology, augmented reality graphics, expert commentary, and creative storytelling around the sport’s biggest stars,” Netflix said in a statement released on Thursday.
The streaming entertainment service company said that the Six Kings Slam joins WWE Raw (every Monday), and will also join Canelo vs. Crawford (September 13) as part of the upcoming slate of live programming viewers can watch with their Netflix subscription.
Matches of the Six Kings Slam will be played at Riyadh’s 8,000-seater anb Arena.
