How to Watch the 2025 French Open: Full International Broadcast Guide

The Year’s Second Major has Arrived

The second Grand Slam of the year returns to Paris this spring as the 2025 French Open takes over Roland Garros from Sunday, May 25 to Sunday, June 8. Known for its iconic red clay and rich history, the tournament will once again feature the world’s best players in front of passionate crowds at Stade Roland Garros.

This year’s tournament carries added significance—it marks the first time Rafael Nadal will not be competing in the event for the first time since 2004, the undisputed “King of Clay,” retired from professional tennis at the end of the 2024 season. With 14 Roland Garros titles to his name, Nadal continues to be missed on Tour.

Whether you’re tuning in to see an up-and-coming star, or cheering for rising stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Coco Gauff, or following favourites like Iga Swiatek, Novak Djokovic, or Jannik Sinner, here’s a complete guide on how to watch the 2024 French Open, no matter where you are in the world.
