Great Britain's Davis Cup relegation play-off against Uzbekistan in September will be staged at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow.
It is Britain's first home tie since they lost a semi-final to Argentina at the same venue in 2016 and will be the third time in the last five home matches that Leon Smith's side have visited Glasgow.
Britain must win the tie to extend their stay in the elite World Group to a sixth straight year after losing to Spain in the first round in February.
Despite the loss, it was an encouraging weekend for Smith's men, with Cameron Norrie making a remarkable debut in the absence of Andy Murray and Kyle Edmund.
Both could potentially be back for the clash, to be held from September 14-16, but Uzbekistan represent one of the weaker teams Britain could have played and it would be a major upset if the hosts were defeated.
Smith said: "We are delighted to be going back to Emirates Arena in September. It feels like our team's home away from home at this stage with the amazing staging and support we have received there over the years.
"The GB Davis Cup fans are second to none and will play a vital role in helping our players over the line that weekend in what will be a critical tie to maintain our position in the World Group."
