On Tuesday, TNT Sports officially announced its ten-year deal with the French Open, beginning with the 2025 edition of the tournament.
TNT’s release details some parts of the agreement. Notably, all Roland-Garros matches, numbering nearing 900 annually, will be available to stream on Max.
Live matches will also air on TBT, TBS, and truTV, with truTV airing full-day coverage encompassing live matches, studio content, and whiparound action.
Highlights, behind-the-scenes, and other content will be available on TNT, TBS, truTV, Max, and Bleacher Report, among other platforms.
“TNT Sports is thrilled to partner with the French Tennis Federation and exclusively present unprecedented coverage of Roland-Garros – one of the most prestigious sports events every year – across our full array of platforms,” said Luis Silberwasser, Chairman and CEO, TNT Sports. “Roland-Garros perfectly aligns with our global sports strategy and our commitment to adding premium live sports content to our TNT Sports portfolio.

“We’re very proud to sign this agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery, one of the world’s leading media groups. It will enable the Federation to ensure maximum exposure for Roland-Garros in the USA and help further promote the tournament. With this long-term agreement, we aim to win over new fans in this key territory for the FFT,” said Gilles Moretton, President of the French Tennis Federation.
The release also notes that TNT Sports “will have an on-site presence, including studio and announcing teams from multiple positions inside Roland-Garros throughout the competition.”
The announcement does not mention Tennis Channel, which has aired French Open matches since 2016.
