Riyadh Season, Saudi Arabia’s signature winter-long festival of global entertainment, sports, and culture, is gearing up for its seventh edition.
And this October, Six Kings Slam will take centre stage. Slated to take place over a number of days between October 21 to 24, 2026, at the state-of-the-art ANB Arena in Riyadh, the high-octane exhibition tournament will assemble six of the world’s top men’s tennis players for a single-elimination showdown.
The question remains: can Jannik Sinner defend his reign and claim a historic third consecutive Six Kings Slam title against the world’s elite?
Who will take part in Six Kings Slam 2026?
This year, headlining the star-studded tennis roster is two-time Six Slams defending champion Jannik Sinner — who made history as the first Italian to win the inconic Wimbledon title — alongside world number one and crowd favourite, 23-year old Carlos Alcaraz. Rounding out the elite line-up are 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, German powerhouse Alexander Zverev, American standout Taylor Fritz, and Australian star Alex de Minaur, who is set to make his official Six Kings Slam debut.
Building on the legacy of past editions that featured iconic legends such as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, the 2026 Six Kings Slam event will deliver four action-packed days of world-class tennis, including a third-place playoff and a dedicated fan zone at the ANB Arena.
