Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has renewed its long-standing partnership with the French Tennis Federation (FFT), securing the broadcast rights to Roland-Garros across Europe (excluding France) until at least 2030.
The agreement, announced on Sunday, June 8, was signed ahead of the men’s singles final at Roland-Garros by FFT President Gilles Moretton and WBD Sports Europe President Andrew Georgiou. The deal will extend their collaboration to over 40 years.
Eurosport, which first aired Roland-Garros in 1989, will continue to broadcast the tournament across mainland Europe. In the UK and Ireland, TNT Sports will remain the exclusive broadcaster. Starting in 2026, fans will also be able to stream coverage of every court live on HBO Max.
WBD’s coverage of Roland-Garros includes live broadcasts of every match and additional content that goes beyond the court. Through TNT Sports and Eurosport, the company offers localized coverage in 19 languages across Europe. In 2025 alone, this multi-platform approach generated over 620 million video views and nearly 30 million social media engagements.
The content ranges from match reports and highlights to exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with tennis legends and presenters. This broad storytelling approach is designed to bring fans closer to the action and attract new audiences to the sport.
“We are delighted to continue our long-standing partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, whom we thank for their continued trust,” said Gilles Moretton, FFT President. “The excellent audience figures across Europe prove the growing popularity of Roland-Garros and the value of our partnership.”
Andrew Georgiou of WBD Sports Europe added: “We’re proud to continue showcasing Roland-Garros, a tournament rich in heritage and global appeal. Very few sports partnerships last more than 40 years, and we’re honoured to have reached this milestone with the FFT.”
The expanded deal also includes the U.S. market. For the first time, Roland-Garros 2025 will be broadcast live on TNT Sports in the United States, as well as streaming platforms Max, TBC, and truTV.
This year’s tournament has already seen record-breaking numbers in several countries. In Italy, Eurosport reported its highest average viewership thanks to local favorite Jannik Sinner. His fourth-round and quarter-final matches drew significant audiences. In the UK, TNT Sports recorded its highest-ever viewership for a women’s semi-final, featuring Aryna Sabalenka’s win over defending champion Iga Swiatek.
Streaming platforms also saw strong growth. Unique video viewers rose significantly in Italy (up 36%), the Netherlands (up 46%), the UK (up 7%), and Germany (up 8%) during the first week of the tournament.
