The second edition runs October 15–18, 2025 at ANB Arena in Riyadh, with October 17 a rest day. Netflix will stream it worldwide at no extra cost.

What’s new and why it matters

Netflix has secured worldwide rights to the Six Kings Slam, a made-for-TV exhibition that returns to Riyadh during Riyadh Season. The showpiece brings six elite men’s players to ANB Arena on indoor hard court and is positioned as premium live sports inside a standard subscription. That “no add-on fee” angle is a big hook for casual fans and searchers alike.

“Six of the top players in men’s tennis will take the court,” Netflix teased in its announcement post.

Format: singles exhibition with six players in a compact draw; official order of play TBA.
Purse: every player guaranteed $1.5m; champion receives a total $6m (that’s an extra $4.5m for the winner).

Six Kings Slam lineup — and a late change

Originally, the field featured Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, and Jack Draper. Draper has since shut down his season due to an arm injury. Stefanos Tsitsipas has been named as his replacement.

Tsitsipas posted he was “excited to compete… in Riyadh,” confirming his call-up after Draper’s withdrawal.

(Note: One report has suggested Tsitsipas’ participation could be affected by a minor surgical recovery window. Organizers have not issued a change as of today.)
