How to watch the Davis Cup 2021 final: Date, time, TV channels, streaming info, and event explanation

The Davis Cup Finals are scheduled to run from November 25 to December 5 and will include 25 games. All the action can be watched on the CBS Sports Network, the CBS Sports apps or PlutoTV.

Here’s an overview of everything you need to know as you head into the Davis Cup Finals, including the full broadcast schedule:

Who will participate?

The final round will include 18 teams, 12 qualifiers, last year’s four semi-finalists and two wild card nations.

The 12 teams participating in the qualifying round are Australia, Austria, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, Sweden and the United States. Last year’s semi-finalists were Spain, Canada, Great Britain and the Russian Tennis Federation. Rounding out 18 teams are France and Serbia, two highly rated countries.

How will the finals play out?

The participating teams will compete in a round-robin of six groups of three teams. According to that result, the six group winners along with the two best group runners-up based on the sets and matches won will advance to the quarterfinals.

A knockout stage would then determine the winner of the Davis Cup.
