Lipton Ice Tea joins the Australian open 2026 as the tournament’s Official Ice Tea. The partnership brings Lipton’s ice cold refreshment into the heart of Melbourne Park, giving fans a crisp and uplifting way to stay cool as they follow the on-court action.

Lipton Ice Tea will be available at all bars across Melbourne Park for the duration of the tournament. The partnership will also extend beyond the AO event, with limited-edition AO packs available across Australia in 500ml and 1.5L serves, as well as major grocer activations in Coles and Woolworths.

“We’re thrilled to be the Official Ice Tea of the Australian Open for the very first time, bringing icy-cold refreshment, and a no-alcohol TOPCOURT experience designed for Gen Z,” said Gabby Manu, Brand Manager at Lipton.

“We can’t wait to reveal the drinks that everyone will be talking about.”

A major highlight of the partnership is the ‘Lipton Island’ activation at TOPCOURT. Designed with Gen Z in mind, it’s been created as a place to cool down and escape the heat between matches.

Sure to be one of the standout spots of the AO, the yellow archway brings visitors into a space inspired by a dream Euro summer holiday, complete with a terrazzo bar, shady palms and vibrant umbrellas, before they reach the island style bar. 

Lipton Island will serve a line up of elevated iced teas created exclusively for the AO.  Designed to deliver an unexpected lift with layered flavours and an Instagram worthy finish, these Courtside Creations will be available only at Lipton Island and offer a refreshing break for tennis goers in the summer heat.  

“Each year we look to bring new experiences to Melbourne Park that add to the atmosphere of the tournament, and we’re so pleased to welcome Lipton Ice Tea for 2026,” said Cedric Cornelis, Chief Commercial Officer at Tennis Australia. “Their presence across the precinct will offer attendees a refreshing way to enjoy their time at the AO.”
