The 6 Kings Slam is a tennis exhibition tournament held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the Riyadh Season. The exhibition took place on October 16, 17 and 19, 2024. October 18 is a rest day in order to follow an ATP rule that players cannot compete on three consecutive days in an exhibition. The six players headlining this event were Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune.

Since this is not an ATP-sanctioned event, players do not earn any ranking points and the match results do not count towards official head-to-head tallies. Each of the six participants is guaranteed a minimum prize of US$1,500,000, with the winner taking home the largest prize in tennis history, US$6,000,000—almost double the prize money for a Grand Slam champion (US$3.8M).{{Cite web |date=2024-09-24 |title=What is the Six Kings Slam? |url=https://www.tennisclubhouse.ca/en/post/what-is-the-six-kings-slam |access-date=2024-09-30 |website=Tennis Clubhouse}}
