UTS Tour heads to Sweden for season-ending Gothenburg showdown (12-13 December)!

The UTS Tour will make its debut in Sweden this December with a new UTS Gothenburg event, at the iconic Scandinavium arena. Eight of the world’s leading male players will go to the 10,000-seat arena on 12 and 13 December to compete for a prize money pot of US$1 million.

Tickets will go on sale in August when the names of the first players of the star-studded line up will be unveiled. Fans can pre-register now for pre-sale access to tickets.

The competition runs across two days. Day one stages the quarter-finals, with four matches deciding who advances. Day two builds to the climax with classification matches, the semi-finals and the final. Five matches in total to crown the champion and settle the year-end standings, with up to 511k usd for the ultimate winner of the tournament.

Gothenburg will be the last stage of the 2026 season after Nîmes, France in April, and the upcoming UTS Rio presented by XP in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, in July (16-18), where Joao Fonseca and Francisco Cerundolo have confirmed their participation. 

“Initiatives that challenge traditional formats and create new ways to experience sport“

Patrick Mouratoglou, Founder of UTS, said: “Sweden, with its long-standing tennis heritage, is a perfect match for UTS Tour. We love the vibrant energy of Gothenburg, which is used to hosting premium events, and we can’t wait to set Scandinavium on fire with our high octane tennis tournament, gathering some of the best players in the world. The Swedish fans will undoubtedly fall in love with UTS’ electric atmosphere and fierce competition.”

Magnus Hallberg, Deputy CEO and Head of Events at Göteborg & Co, said: “We are pleased to welcome world-class tennis back to Gothenburg. We are committed to offering major events throughout the year, and UTS is a valuable addition to our winter events calendar. The tour’s Swedish debut in Gothenburg further strengthens the city’s position as the Nordic capital of events.“

Lotta Nibell, CEO at Got Event, said: “We are proud that the UTS Tour has chosen Scandinavium. We welcome initiatives that challenge traditional formats and create new ways to experience sport. It’s a perfect fit for Scandinavium and for Gothenburg audiences.”

It’s the second UTS event in Northern Europe after UTS Oslo opened the 2024 UTS circuit.
