The Davis Cup is back - and looking completely different to how you've seen it before. With a brand new format, the 2019 tennis extravaganza marks the biggest revamp of the international team tennis tournament in its 119-year history. We've compiled this handy guide for watching a Davis Cup live stream on TV, online or on mobile, no matter where you are in the world.
With a host of big name stars set to play, the first instalment of the spruced up tournament looks set to be a hotly contested affair.

The A-list field will also see Novak Djokovic turn out for Serbia, while Great Britain's hopes will be resting on Andy Murray following his return from long-term injury.

Davis Cup 2019: How the new format works
Eighteen teams will take part in the week-long finals which will this year take place in Madrid. Those teams are made up of 12 winners from February's qualifying round, the four semi-finalists of the previous edition and two wild card teams. This year Great Britain have been given a wildcard along with Argentina.
The eighteen teams are divided into six groups of three for a pool stage, with the winners each group and the best two second-placed teams advancing to the knockout phases.
Each match will be in a best of three format, with two singles matches followed by a doubles match.
