This year marks the start of a significant partnership as TNT Sports commences its comprehensive coverage of Roland-Garros, starting Sunday, May 25th. The network boasts the most extensive presentation of the tournament ever seen in US broadcast history. Get ready for nearly 300 hours of live programming across TNT and truTV.
Streaming platform Max significantly ups the ante, offering over 900 matches from all competitions. Max's coverage began May 19th with qualifying rounds and includes every single match of the tournament. Innovative features include a four-match multiview option from Round 1 onwards, and a "Key Moments" function highlighting crucial plays. TNT's daily schedule will feature multiple matches and "Live at Roland-Garros," a studio program including match analysis and commentary. Expect live player interviews and audio from mic'd coaches in select matches. truTV adds "The Rally at Roland-Garros," a daily whiparound show.
Warner Bros. Discovery's digital assets, Bleacher Report and House of Highlights, will also contribute original content including player interviews and celebrity correspondent coverage from the event. Sponsorship involvement is considerable, with Stella Artois presenting the studio show, Vanda Pharmaceuticals sponsoring early rounds, AT&T Business supporting later matches, and Raymond James sponsoring from the quarterfinals onward. This substantial coverage stems from a 10-year agreement granting TNT Sports exclusive US rights. Moreover, TNT Sports also holds distribution rights in almost 50 European markets, underscoring Warner Bros. Discovery’s position as the largest global rights holder for the tournament.
