The 2025 Billie Jean King Cup Finals features the eight nations who qualified earlier in the year and will duke it out for the biggest prize in women’s team tennis – every tie will feature two singles matches and a deciding doubles encounter if it’s one win apiece. Reigning champions Italy will defend their crown, with stiff opposition coming from fellow seeds the U.S., Great Britain and Spain.
Read on and we’ll show you how to watch the 2025 Billie Jean King Cup Finals live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
Five-time winners Italy squeezed into the semifinals thanks to a pair of three-set singles victories against hosts China. Elisabetta Cocciaretto was a set and 5-2 down against Yue Yuan to win 4-6 7-5 7-5 in the first singles rubber, and even trailed 4-0 in the final set. Jasmine Paolini then beat Wang Xinyu, also after losing the first set to give the top seeds an unassailable 2-0 lead.
Fourth seeds Spain and Ukraine face each other in a mouthwatering quarterfinal. Ukraine count Elina Svitolina and Marta Kostyuk – world-ranked 13 and 26 respectively – as their singles stars, with Kostyuk also a doubles demon. Spain have world No.20 Paula Badosa and the excellent doubles star Cristina Bucsa.
Four-time beaten finalists Great Britain face Japan as second seeds and hoping to go deep. Katie Boulter has had an inconsistent season but seems to come alive in the team environment, with Jodie Burrage and Sonay Kartal also capable of performing when it matters most.
Record 18-time winners the U.S. boast world doubles No.1 Taylor Townsend, who also found some form at the US Open in singles earlier this month, plus singles stars Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro. They play Kazakhstan, who count former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina among their number.
