Broadcasters TNT and Eurosport Unveil Their Coverage Strategies for the French Open Tennis Tournament

Get ready, tennis enthusiasts! TNT Sports and Eurosport are bringing a game-changing approach to the coverage of the French Open 2025. Here's what you need to know about their major broadcasting transformation.

New Broadcasting Landscape

In a staggering deal worth $650 million, TNT Sports has secured the U.S. broadcast rights for the French Open – a move that marks the first time the tournament has left NBC after more than four decades. Simultaneously, Eurosport continues to hold the rights for the French Open in mainland Europe, excluding France.

On-Site Studios and Production

TNT Sports will establish two on-site studios at Musketeers Square, catering separately to U.S. and UK audiences. An additional set between courts four and five will be dedicated to truTV viewers in the U.S. Eurosport, on the other hand, will focus on providing live broadcasts from around the grounds, offering unique perspectives that capture the authentic atmosphere of Roland-Garros.

Unprecedented Coverage

With more than 900 matches on the line, TNT Sports and Eurosport aim to deliver the most comprehensive tennis coverage ever witnessed. All 16 match court feeds will be available, as well as additional press conference feeds and cameras from across the grounds. Innovative in-app features, such as timeline markers, will enable users to revisit key moments with ease.

The collaboration between TNT Sports and Eurosport signifies a new era in French Open broadcasting, offering tennis fans an immersive, locally relevant, and language-tailored experience, no matter where they are watching from. Get ready to be blown away by the coverage – whether you're a fan in Washington, Warsaw, London, or Lisbon!
