Discover who holds the Ireland/UK TV rights for the 2025 French Open and learn how to watch live coverage of the tournament at Roland Garros.
2025 French Open TV Coverage (Ireland and the UK)
In June 2021, The French Tennis Federation announced that Eurosport (Discovery+) had won exclusive TV rights to broadcast the French Open across Europe starting in 2022 and running until 2026.
This means that if you want to stream the matches live at Roland Garros in 2025 then you are going to need to be a Discovery+ subscriber (Entertainment and Sports Package).
It currently costs €/£6.99 per month to sign up for the Entertainment and Sport package which will include access to live TV coverage of the 2025 tournament at Roland Garros.
You also have the option of signing up for a year for £59.99 for the first year if you are from the UK and for €69.99 per year if you are from Ireland.
If you only want to watch tennis on Discovery+, then the cheapest option probably is to sign up for a month at a time whenever there is a big tournament that Discovery+ has the streaming rights to e.g. 2025 Australian Open.
Eurosport’s TV Coverage of the tournament is also available to subscribers of BT TV, Sky, and Virgin Media.
