When is it?
The event kicks off at 7pm UK time on Tuesday, November 7.
Where is it being staged?
Glasgow's SSE Hydro Arena plays host to the exhibition event.
The multi-purpose indoor facility has a capacity of 13,000 and was home to the netball and gymnastic events at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
How can I watch it?
The entire event is exclusively live on Eurosport and the Eurosport Player.
Is there an exciting and fun preview video I can watch?
Well, yes. Yes there is...
What is the headline act?
Undoubtedly the biggest part of the evening will be Murray v Federer in a special singles rubber.
Murray appeared at an event for Federer's foundation - and if that's anything to go by, we're in for a treat.
Very excitingly, Eurosport will be producing a wonderfully innovative 360° VR Facebook live during the match, so look out for that on the Eurosport Tennis page.

What has Murray had to say?
"Last year was such a fantastic night and to raise over £300,000 for Unicef and Young People’s Futures in our first year was amazing.
This year is going to be even bigger and better and I am so pleased to be able to bring Roger to play in Scotland for the first time – he will get a chance to see for himself just how enthusiastic Scottish fans are, and what a great venue The SSE Hydro is.
"It is also important for me to be able support Unicef again this year, and to help a different local charity as well."
What's the charity link?
As with the inaugural event, all proceeds from the event will be donated to charity.
Funds this year will be shared equally between Unicef, the world’s leading children’s organisation, of which Murray is a UK Ambassador, and a local Scottish charity, Sunny-sid3up.
