The European singers were asked by the five-piece to play a series of gigs at London's O2 Arena in January, but they decided against it after hearing the girls' tracks.
A source told The Sun: "They're (Alphabeat) not the biggest fans of the girls. It's not really how they want to launch in the U.K."
The Spice Girls have now decided not to have a support act during the London shows.
Alphabeat are expected to become huge next year after record label EMI won a bidding war to get them on board. Mika's manager is also representing the group.
