Tennis is a natural setting for a brand that places precision, attention to detail and personal experience at the center of its philosophy. Lexus joined forces with the ATP Tour in 2023 and later extended the partnership through 2028, connecting its automotive expertise with major international tennis events.
This story explores a Lexus brand-wide collaboration. Explore the 2026 Lexus LS model separately for market-specific vehicle details.
A global partnership built around tennis
Lexus became an Official Automotive Partner and Platinum Partner of the ATP Tour in June 2023. The agreement brought the brand into a global calendar of professional men’s tennis, including major tournament settings where players, officials, guests and spectators experience the sport from different perspectives.
The partnership expanded through local tournament relationships and shared activities across the ATP Tour’s media channels. In November 2025, the organizations announced a multi-year renewal that would keep Lexus in both official partner roles through 2028. This confirms a defined long-term relationship, rather than a single one-off sponsorship or a speculative future project.
Mobility behind the matches
A tennis tournament involves more than what happens on the court. Players, officials and invited guests need transport between venues, hotels and event spaces, often on a demanding schedule. Lexus supplies fleets of electrified vehicles at sponsored tournaments to support those journeys. This is one of the partnership’s most tangible brand integrations.
The ATP and Lexus releases describe a selection of self-charging hybrids, plug-in hybrids and battery-electric models as part of the broader electrified Lexus portfolio. Vehicle assignments vary by event and season, allowing the transport program to reflect the needs of each tournament and the available Lexus models.
From the ATP Finals to tournaments around the world
The Nitto ATP Finals in Turin and the Rolex Paris Masters are among the high-profile events associated with the Lexus relationship. The ATP also identified tournaments in cities including Barcelona, Hamburg, Rotterdam, London, Eastbourne, Auckland and Houston as part of the wider portfolio. Local naming, sponsorship status and logistics may vary from year to year.
For fans, tournament partnerships are visible through official-car activity and opportunities to encounter the Lexus brand at events. For organizers, transport services support the operation of international competitions. The combination connects a premium guest experience with the practical requirements of professional sport.
ATP Head2Head and year-round engagement
The partnership also lives away from the courts. Lexus is the title partner of ATP Head2Head, a digital experience centered on rivalries and personalities within the sport. ATP content featuring players in entertaining challenges gives fans another way to follow their favorites between matches and tournament dates.
This editorial and digital component matters because an official sports partnership is more than signage at a venue. It includes storytelling, branded content and sustained engagement throughout the tennis season. Lexus can appear in discussions of precision, preparation and performance without claiming any role in deciding the outcome of a match.
Shared interest in electrification
The ATP has placed greater emphasis on sustainability through ATP Serves and its commitments under broader sport-and-climate initiatives. Lexus’ role in providing electrified vehicles is described by the partners as a practical way to align event logistics with those ambitions. Those releases describe the contribution of electrified transport; they do not establish that the tournaments are emissions-free.
The partnership illustrates a direct, documented connection between Lexus and professional tennis. Readers can find the original 2023 announcement and 2025 extension below. The 2026 LS remains a distinct vehicle story with specifications that differ by market; the ATP agreement is a Lexus brand-wide sponsorship rather than a model-specific LS campaign.
