Great Britain face France on Friday and Saturday as they bid for a spot in the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup Finals – and you can follow it live on the BBC.

Britain reached the semi-finals of the 2022 competition but did not make the last eight last year, having lost their qualifier against France.

The tie takes place on an indoor clay-court in Le Portel in northern France.

Britain’s squad features Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu, Harriet Dart, Heather Watson and Fran Jones.

The two nations have played each other four times, with Great Britain and France winning twice each.

Britain beat Sweden 3-1 on home turf in November to secure their place in this year’s qualifiers.

You can watch the tie live on the BBC Sport website and app and BBC iPlayer, alongside live text commentary on the website. Friday’s tie is also on BBC Red Button from 13:30 BST.
