LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2024 – In its 18th year at Roland Garros – the French Open – Tennis Channel will offer close to 2,500 hours of live matches on its original television network, second channel T2 and subscription-service Tennis Channel+ from May 26-June 9. This includes close to 105 hours on T2, more free, live tennis from the world’s most prestigious clay-court competition than ever on U.S. television. Live coverage begins with the first ball Sunday, May 26, at 5 a.m. ET, as Tennis Channel platforms devote 15 days and close to 3,000 total hours to Paris this year.
Tennis Channel alone will offer close to 140 hours of live competition this year, becoming America’s 24-hour “Roland Garros Network” again in 2024 as it has since its first year at the event in 2007. Almost 200 hours of encores will air after live play concludes each day, running through the evening and late night to the start of the next morning’s matches. Most days coverage begins at 5 a.m. ET and runs into the afternoon (complete schedule below).
From May 26-June 5, Tennis Channel will have live, daily coverage from the first round through the quarterfinals. The mixed-doubles final and women’s singles semifinals will air live on Thursday, June 6. Friday, June 7, will see the men’s singles semifinals live, before the women’s doubles final on Sunday, June 9. Same-day men’s and women’s singles and doubles finals will air throughout championship weekend.
T2 is available to everyone in the United States for free, and will show more than 100 hours of live French Open play this year, daily competition that will not appear on Tennis Channel. Viewers who have both networks will be able to switch back and forth between two distinct matches for most of the tournament. When not live, T2 will show more than 230 hours of encore replays this year.
On Saturday, June 8, the channel will air the junior girls’ and boys’ singles finals back to back beginning at 5 a.m. ET.
Most U.S. households already have access to T2. Platforms that carry the channel include Amazon’s Freevee, Prime Video and Fire TV, as well as Roku, Fubo, Hulu, YouTube TV, Samsung TV Plus, Vizio Watch Free+ and Plex.
