Only the Austria v Spain start is open-ended: the organizer lists it as “not before” 17:00 CET, so it begins after the day session ends. The other start times are fixed on the schedule page. The conversions are ours; the CET times are the organizer’s.

Which teams are in the Davis Cup Final 8?

Italy are the hosts and reigning champions. The 2025 final page lists “Italy (d. Spain 2-0),” and Italy are bidding for a fourth consecutive title, according to the organizer’s nominations article of Oct. 26, 2026. Korea, Rep. are Final 8 debutants. These are the nominated squads from that article:

Team	Nominated players	Captain

The article notes that Carlos Alcaraz returns for the first time since the 2024 Final 8; injury kept him out in 2025. It calls Flavio Cobolli Italy’s team No. 1 and says he won all three of his matches at the 2025 Final 8, and it lists Felix Auger-Aliassime as world No. 7. Germany reached the semifinals in 2025. The Italian list above is partial: we did not capture the full squad.
