Bologna: Host City Since 2025
The Davis Cup Finals moved from Málaga, Spain to Bologna, Italy starting with the 2025 edition, where Italy beat Spain in the final to claim a third straight title on home soil. The 2026 edition marks Bologna’s second consecutive year as host, reflecting Italy’s status as the sport’s dominant current nation. The SuperTennis Arena at Bologna Fiera hosts the eight-nation, knockout-format finale on hard indoor courts.
Davis Cup Finals 2026 Tickets
Tickets are sold through the official Davis Cup website, with single-session and full-week packages available. Given Italy’s home-nation status and its recent run of titles, strong local demand is expected — booking ahead is recommended, especially for sessions in the second half of the week.
Getting to Bologna and the SuperTennis Arena
Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport sits about 20 minutes from the city center by taxi or the Marconi Express monorail. Bologna Centrale is also one of Italy’s best-connected rail hubs, with direct high-speed trains putting Milan and Florence around 35-40 minutes away and Rome around 2 hours — making it easy to combine the tournament with stops elsewhere in Italy. Bologna Fiera, home to the SuperTennis Arena, is a short bus or taxi ride from both the city center and Bologna Centrale station.
Where to Stay for the Davis Cup Finals
Bologna’s historic center — around Piazza Maggiore and the Two Towers, under the city’s famous porticoes — is the most walkable base, with plenty of restaurants and easy bus links out to Bologna Fiera. Staying near Bologna Centrale station also works well, putting you close to transport links to the arena and to day trips elsewhere in Emilia-Romagna. Given Italy’s home-nation run of titles, expect strong local demand — book accommodation early, especially for the second half of the week.
Things to Do in Bologna During Finals Week
Bologna is one of Italy’s best food cities, and it’s worth building in time beyond the tennis. The medieval Piazza Maggiore and the leaning Two Towers (Le Due Torri) anchor the historic center, while the Quadrilatero market district is the place for tortellini, mortadella and Bolognese classics. The city’s 38km of covered porticoes make it an easy, weatherproof place to explore between sessions, and the university quarter around Via Zamboni has a lively student-city atmosphere in the evenings.
