ITF Press Release, October 17, 2025
Iga Swiatek, Clara Tauson, Linda Noskova and Victoria Mboko are among those selected by their captains to compete at the 2025 Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Play-offs in November, with a total of 99 players nominated to represent their nations. Each Play-offs event will take place between 14-16 November.
Swiatek will lead Poland’s mission to reach the 2026 Qualifiers in Play-offs Group B in Gorzow Wielkopolski where they will host Romania and New Zealand. Mboko spearheads Canada and Tauson leads Denmark, with both nations competing alongside Mexico in Group A in Monterrey. Noskova heads up Czechia in Group D alongside Croatia and Colombia in Varazdin.
Other stars named in their nations’ squads for the Play-offs include: Maya Joint (Australia), Camila Osorio (Colombia), Donna Vekic (Croatia), Laura Siegemund (Germany), Elena-Gabriela Ruse (Romania) and Rebecca Sramkova (Slovakia). Nations can make up to three changes to their squads until one day prior to the event start date.
The 2025 Play-offs are being played as seven groups of three nations on a round-robin basis as the last part of the transition from the previous format to the current format. This year’s Finals, which were played in Shenzhen in September, were the first to be played as an eight-team event, mirroring the existing Davis Cup Final 8 format.
Each Play-offs event will be held in one location over three days, with the host nation having the choice of venue and surface. The nation finishing in first place in each Play-off group will advance to the 2026 Qualifiers, where they will compete for a place at the 2026 Finals. The nations finishing in second and third place in each group will compete in one of the three regional Group I events (Americas, Asia/Oceania or Europe/Africa) next season.
Traditional home-or-away ties will return in both the Qualifiers and Play-offs from 2026 onwards (confirmed dates here).
The schedules for the Play-offs were announced in August. All ties at the Play-offs will be played as best-of-three matches – two singles matches followed by a doubles match. All matches will be played as best-of-three tiebreak sets.
