All ties in the Play-offs will comprise three matches – two singles matches followed by a doubles match. All matches will be played as best-of-three tiebreak sets.
The seven group winners will progress to the 2026 Qualifiers. The remaining 14 teams will compete in the 2026 Regional Group I events.
In 2025, the Billie Jean King Cup Finals will transition from a 12 to an eight-team event to mirror the existing Davis Cup Final 8 format. The group format for both 2025 Qualifiers and Play-offs was introduced to accommodate that transition. Home-or-away ties will return in the Qualifiers and Play-offs from 2026 onwards.
A record 146 nations will compete in the women’s World Cup of Tennis this year.
