Tennis on Netflix: Six Kings Slam Returns With Sinner, Alcaraz and Djokovic Set to Compete

The Six Kings Slam will return to Riyadh Season for a third consecutive year this October, bringing another star-packed men’s tennis field to Saudi Arabia and streaming live exclusively on Netflix.

The 2026 edition will feature defending champion Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and tournament debutant Alex de Minaur. The event will take place on Oct. 21, 22 and 24.

Since its debut in 2024, the Six Kings Slam has brought together some of the biggest names in men’s tennis and quickly established itself as one of the marquee sporting events of Riyadh Season. The inaugural edition featured Sinner, Alcaraz, Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune, with Sinner defeating Alcaraz in the final and Djokovic defeating Nadal in what proved to be the Spaniard’s final competitive exhibition before his retirement.

The second edition streamed live on Netflix, bringing every match to the platform’s global audience, and this year marks the second consecutive year that the event will stream live exclusively on Netflix. Sinner successfully defended his title last year by defeating Alcaraz for a second time in a field that also included Djokovic, Zverev, Fritz and Stefanos Tsitsipas.

"I'm excited to return to Riyadh for another Six Kings Slam," said Alcaraz. "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."

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

“Riyadh has always given me a fantastic welcome, and it’s great to be back once again,” said Djokovic. “Six Kings Slam has become a special event on the tennis calendar, and I’m looking forward to competing in front of the fans this October.”

Fritz and Zverev will both return after competing in last year’s edition, while de Minaur will make his Six Kings Slam debut.

"It's great to be returning to Riyadh for another Six Kings Slam," said Zverev. "The event continues to grow every year, and I'm excited to be part of another fantastic edition."

"I'm thrilled to make my Six Kings Slam debut this year," said de Minaur. "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."
