Every spring, the red clay of Roland Garros becomes the epicenter of tennis drama, style and fierce rivalries. With the 2025 French Open fast approaching, anticipation is building as the top contenders prepare to battle for the crown.
From Paris to Tokyo, millions will be tuning in to catch every serve, slide and celebration. But in an increasingly digital age, knowing how and where to watch the action has become almost as important as who’s playing it.
Whether it’s a nail-biting five-setter under the lights or a rising star making headlines in the early rounds, coverage is evolving fast. Traditional broadcasts are now sharing the spotlight with live-streaming platforms and global networks.

Is the French Open 2025 free to watch?
It is not possible to watch parts of the French Open 2025 for free in the United States. With Warner Bros. Discovery now holding the exclusive U.S. rights, matches will be shown on TNT, TBS and truTV, which require a subscription.
Services like Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream typically include 5- to 7-day trials, allowing viewers to time their sign-ups for maximum coverage — especially during the high-stakes second week of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Max, which will stream TNT Sports’ coverage, might be available via bundled deals with mobile carriers or promotional offers. There’s no longer a traditional over-the-air network (like NBC) offering free access.
