The 20-time Grand Slam champion hasn't played since Wimbledon this summer, due to fitness problems.
London is a fitting location for Federer's last match as he won the Wimbledon men's singles title a record eight times.
Federer holds the record for the most consecutive weeks as world number one (237) and his retirement marks the end of a phenomenal era for the men's game.
He and Nadal are expected to be on court from 20:30 tonight at the O2.
Earlier, at 19:05, Andy Murray will play Alex Di Minaur in a singles match.
The Laver Cup is a three day event, with Europe taking on a world team. The Italian Matteo Berrettini will take Federer's place over the weekend.
