TNT, Eurosport Set Coverage Plans for French Open - TVTechnology
U.S. coverage of Grand Slam event moves from broadcast to cable
www.tvtechnology.comHere’s a quick update on the latest TV coverage for the French Open.
Overview
- The French Open’s broadcasting rights have seen long-term arrangements in recent years, with public broadcasters in France traditionally carrying extensive daytime coverage, while international rights have shifted among major partners depending on region and year. This shapes who you can watch the tournament on in 2025–2026 across different markets.[1][2][3]
What to expect by region
- France: Free-to-air coverage on France Télévisions platforms (France 2/France 3/France 4 and france.tv) is typical for daytime sessions, ensuring broad public access to many matches on multiple courts, including Simonne-Mauchine.[1]
- United States: In recent cycles, U.S. rights have shifted among major networks and streaming platforms, with options including TNT/Max/Discovery+ and related services. The exact combination can vary year to year, so check your local listings for the current season’s schedule.[3][4]
- Europe: Eurosport has traditionally carried extensive coverage across many European markets, with some matches simulcast on regional channels and streaming services. In recent deals, a combination of Eurosport’s channels and regional partners has provided broad access, sometimes supplemented by local broadcasters.[2][6]
- Global/Streaming: In 2025–2026, the tournament has been supported by streaming platforms (e.g., Max/Discovery+, various regional services) offering large match libraries and multi-language comments, though availability depends on country and service tier.[5][3]
How to verify current availability
- Check the FFT/FFT-affiliated announcements for France (France Télévisions) and your country’s official rights holder or major sports network in the 2024–2027 window to confirm who has live coverage this year.
- Look up the local TV guide or the streaming platform’s sports section for the Roland Garros schedule, as many services publish daily schedules and match availability.
- For live coverage specifics (which matches are on which channel, and streaming options), the tournament’s official site and the broadcaster’s page are the most reliable sources.
Illustrative example
- If you’re in the U.S. in 2025, you might see live matches on TNT in prime-time with TruTV handling supplementary coverage, while the OTT option via Max/Discovery+ would offer 900+ matches and multi-language commentary, depending on the plan. This reflects the multi-platform approach seen in recent years.[4][3]
