The NBC Sports Group and the French Tennis Federation announced a multi-year, multi-platform extension that includes 10 more hours of live U.S. television coverage and increased digital rights for the Grand Slam event through 2024. NBC will air the opening Sunday of the tournament, as it did this year for the first time, as well as middle weekend tennis, the men’s and women’s semifinals and the men’s and women’s finals.

At the conclusion of this agreement, NBC will have served as the broadcast home of the French Open for 42 consecutive years.

The French Open will be available for tennis fans on NBCSports.com where fans can watch live streaming of all of NBC’s coverage.
