Beginning Sunday, Nov. 15, at 7 a.m. ET, Tennis Channel will again become the television home of the annual season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. The network’s coverage of the eight-day extravaganza between the top-eight singles players and doubles teams in tennis this year will feature live matches throughout the day, followed by 8 p.m.-4 a.m. primetime encores each evening. Tennis Channel will devote close to 60 live hours and more than 120 overall to the most exclusive tournament on the men’s tour, with all 28 matches televised, and all but three of them live.

As men’s tennis crowns its 2015 singles and doubles champions, Tennis Channel’s typical daily lineup begins with a doubles match each morning at 7 a.m. ET, immediately followed by singles play at 9 a.m. ET (a complete schedule is below). The doubles-then-singles format resumes from 1 p.m.-5 p.m. ET, before a primetime recap of the entire day’s matches gets underway at 8 p.m. ET and runs throughout the late night and early morning.
