Six Kings Slam Will Return in December as Part of Riyadh Season

The Six Kings Slam will return to Riyadh on December 27th, 28th and 30th as part of Riyadh Season 2026, following the rescheduling of the tournament from its original October dates.

Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, confirmed the new dates. The tournament will stream live exclusively on Netflix for the second consecutive year, with matches available to subscribers at no additional cost.

The six-player field includes Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur, who collectively hold 38 Grand Slam titles. Djokovic accounts for 24 of those titles, the most in men’s singles history.

Sinner will return to defend the title after winning both previous editions, defeating Alcaraz in the 2024 and 2025 finals. His participation follows an injury that had forced him out of the tournament when it was originally scheduled for October.

Zverev enters the event as World No. 1 after winning the French Open and US Open this season, while Alcaraz returns after becoming the youngest man and ninth overall to complete a Career Grand Slam.

Fritz will make his second appearance after finishing third last year, while De Minaur is set to make his Six Kings Slam debut after reaching a career-high World No. 5 in July.
