Roland Garros, agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery until 2030

European tennis toasts a new, long-term partnership. Warner Bros. Discovery has announced the renewal of its agreement with the Fédération Française de Tennis (Fft) for the exclusive broadcast of Roland-Garros until 2030. The historic collaboration, born in 1989 with Eurosport, is therefore extended with a renewal made official on the day of the men's final of the Parisian tournament , with a handshake between Gilles Moretton, president of the Fft, and Andrew Georgiou, president and managing director of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe. A symbolic and concrete gesture, which ensures millions of European fans — and not only — access on TV and beyond to one of the most followed sporting events in the world.

The Parisian Grand Slam tournament, after all, is now a global event. In 2024, it attracted 675,081 spectators to Paris and was broadcast in 220 countries. "Eurosport and TNT Sports - reads the press release - guarantee complete coverage of all Roland Garros matches, thanks also to an ecosystem that includes social media and digital platforms, in 19 languages ​​in Europe. In this edition alone, 620 million videos were viewed and approximately 30 million interactions on social media were recorded".

In Italy, the passion for clay has translated into a 36% increase in unique viewers on discovery+ and a boom in TV ratings on linear channels, with a +30% compared to the previous year. Positive trends also in Spain, Germany, Holland and the United Kingdom, confirming the growing enthusiasm for the second Slam of the season.

The renewal of the contract, valid in over 45 countries of the Old Continent (excluding France), will guarantee coverage on multiple platforms, including Eurosport, TNT Sports (in the UK and Ireland), discovery+ and, from 2026, also Max (the evolution of HBO Max). A strategy that focuses on the digital ecosystem and an increasingly tailored offer. Furthermore, for the first time, in 2025 Roland Garros was also broadcast live in the United States on TNT Sports and Max, marking a significant expansion of the global audience.

"We are delighted to continue our long-standing relationship with Warner Bros. Discovery, whom we thank for their trust and their strong desire to renew this agreement. The excellent audience figures for Roland Garros in Europe certify the ability of the FFT to organize an increasingly attractive tournament and of the Warner Bros. Discovery group to promote our tournament to audiences across Europe. This partnership is proof of our growing ambitions on the international stage," said Gilles Moretton, President of the French Tennis Federation.
