The Davis Cup 2026 already knows the 32 players who will fight for the title in the final phase in Bologna, which will take place from November 24 to 29. Spain, led by Carlos Alcaraz and Rafa Jódar, will seek to reclaim the Salad Bowl in a competition where Italy aims to achieve its fourth consecutive title. Who will be the dark horse team?

SPAIN will feature Carlos Alcaraz, Rafael Jódar, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Pedro Martínez, and Marcel Granollers. David Ferrer will lead a team that combines the experience of their doubles specialists with the talent of three players capable of making a difference in singles. The Spaniards will face Austria – in the quarterfinals on Thursday, November 26 – in search of a spot among the final four. Given the team, the mission seems clear: anything less than returning with the title will feel like a disappointment.

AUSTRIA will be represented by Jurij Rodionov, Lukas Neumayer, Joel Schwaerzler, Neil Oberleitner, and Lucas Miedler, with Jurgen Melzer as captain. Rodionov will lead a selection that will try to surprise Spain and thwart the ambitions of Alcaraz and company. They have drawn a tough match, but this is the Davis Cup, and you never know.

GERMANY will present Alexander Zverev, Jan-Lennard Struff, Kevin Krawietz, and Tim Puetz, under the guidance of Michael Kohlmann. Zverev will be the key player for a team that wants to improve on the semifinals reached in 2025. Their opponent in the quarterfinals will be Great Britain on Thursday, November 26.

GREAT BRITAIN will arrive with Arthur Fery, Cameron Norrie, Henry Patten, and Neal Skupski. Leon Smith will head a squad that mixes singles players and doubles specialists. The British will face a demanding test against Germany in an attempt to reach the semifinals.

ITALY will defend its crown with Flavio Cobolli, Luciano Darderi, Lorenzo Musetti, Andrea Vavassori, and Simone Bolelli. Filippo Volandri will once again lead the host team, which dreams of extending its historic title streak. The Italians will debut on Wednesday, November 25, against South Korea; how much will they miss Sinner and Berrettini?

SOUTH KOREA will count on Kwon Soonwoo, Chung Hyeon, Park Uisung, Nam Jisung, and Hong Seongchan, with Chung Jong-Sam as captain. Their goal will be to advance past the quarterfinals for the first time and challenge the reigning champion. Once again, they will serve as the Cinderella of the tournament.

CZECHIA will line up Jakub Mensik, Jiri Lehecka, Patrick Rikl, and Adam Pavlasek, under the leadership of Tomas Berdych. The Czech team will open the competition on Tuesday, November 24, against Canada in a duel that promises to be closely contested. Be wary of this well-balanced team and a captain who knows exactly what it takes to succeed.

CANADA will close the list with Felix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov, Gabriel Diallo, Liam Draxl, and Duncan Chan. Frank Dancevic will be their captain once again. The 2022 champions will attempt to lift the Salad Bowl again, starting with a tough matchup against Czechia, which could very well be a preview of the finals.

Now that you know the matchups and lineups, it's time for you to play as well. Who will be crowned champion on November 29?
