Roland-Garros Tennis: 273 hours of live coverage on Eurosport

24 May 2023

Warner Bros Discovery will provide 273 hours of live coverage from the Roland-Garros French Open Tennis on Eurosport 1 and 2, with viewers in the UK and Ireland able to follow along in 4K UHD.

The sport is on the precipice of one of most hotly contested tournaments in recent years with 22-time Grand Slam singles champion Novak Djokovic looking to surpass the absent Rafael Nadal and make history as the first men’s singles player to reach 23 titles by outlasting young prodigy and 2022 US Open winner Carlos Alcaraz. 

On the women’s side, two-time Roland-Garros singles champion and current world number one Iga Swiatek will look to overcome Grand Slam champions Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka as all are primed to create new stories from Stade Roland-Garros.

This year’s event will be the 35th televised by Eurosport. In addition to 273 hours of live coverage on Eurosport 1 and 2, full coverage will be available on discovery+, with additional streaming-only content.

▶ Streaming offer

  • Via Discovery+, viewers can live stream Eurosport 1 and 2.

In addition, Discovery+ will provide:

  • 16 broadcast feeds
  • two press conference feeds
  • Every qualifying, wheelchair, junior and legends matches

Viewers in the UK and Ireland will again benefit from localised content unique to the UK/Ireland feed of Eurosport.

4K UHD

All major pay TV platforms are set to offer Eurosport’s coverage in 4K UHD. Eurosport UHD will be offered either as a red button feed or a standalone pop-up channel, depending on platform.
