TNT Sports signed a 10-year agreement with the French Tennis Federation in June 2024 to become the U.S. home of Roland-Garros beginning in 2025, according to Warner Bros. Discovery. The company said that deal, combined with Eurosport’s long-running relationship with the tournament dating to 1989, made Warner Bros. Discovery the largest global broadcast partner for Roland-Garros. (media.wbdsports.com) Scott Young, executive vice president at WBD Sports Europe, said in the May 18 announcement that Roland-Garros sits “at the heart of an unmissable Summer of Sport” on the company’s channels and platforms.
