The network’s daily coverage of the 15-day clay-court major begins on the opening day of play Sunday, May 30th, at 5 a.m. Eastern Time, and runs through championship Sunday, June 13th.
On Monday, May 31, as Americans are celebrating Memorial Day, tennis fans will see history on the network at 3 p.m. ET, when one of the most tradition-rich venues in all of sports introduces nighttime tennis to the celebrated grounds of Stade Roland Garros in Paris.
It will be the first of seven night sessions on the channel – Monday-Friday, May 31-June 4; Tuesday and Wednesday, June 8-9.
Tennis Channel promises 340 total hours of television coverage during its 15th year at the French Open.
In addition to more than 140 hours of live matches, the network will show another 190-plus hours of encore replays and four-and-a-half hours of news-and-analysis show Tennis Channel Live at Roland Garros.
Most days will feature at least 10 hours of live matches running from the start of play at 5 a.m. ET through the last match on the schedule, followed immediately by all-night encores until 5 a.m. ET the following morning (complete schedule below).
The network will show live matches from the first round through the girls’ and boys’ singles finals championship weekend, covering the men’s and women’s singles finals along the way. The women’s and men’s singles finals championship weekend will air as same-day encores as well.
