More live tennis than any other platform will be available on Sky Sports, with over 4,000 matches from over 80 tournaments on the ATP and WTA Tours each year, along with complete live coverage of the US Open.
The channel’s launch follows Sky’s acquisition of the rights to the US Open, ATP, and WTA Tour last year. This means that subscribers will receive even more value from Sky’s unrivaled lineup of specialized sports channels.
Beginning on February 11, Sky Sports customers with Complete, Action, and Arena packages will have access to Sky Sports Tennis. This will allow viewers to watch more live matches by allowing them to access multiple live court streams simultaneously via the Sky Sports mobile app, the Sky TV app, the red button, and NOW Bonus Streams.
During the first week of programming, fans can watch their favorite players, including Coco Gauff, Ons Jabeur, Aryna Sabalenka, Naomi Osaka, and Iga Swiatek, live from the Hologic WTA Tour tournament in Doha.
The ATP Tour resumes in Rotterdam, then on February 19–20, an all-star lineup featuring Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Andrey Rublev, and Daniil Medvedev will take the court in Doha.
“It’s an exciting moment for Sky Sports as we launch a new home for tennis fans, and Sky Sports Tennis will give millions of homes easy access to watch the best players in the world all year round,” stated Jonathan Licht, Managing Director of Sky Sports.
“We’re proud to be the undisputed home of live sport for fans in the UK and Ireland, and this new channel will add value for our customers, enabling them to enjoy even more of the sports they love.”
The greatest tennis events of the year will be covered by Sky Sports Tennis, which will be hosted by Gigi Salmon and feature commentary from the renowned Jonathan Overend. Former elite British players Tim Henman and Laura Robson will provide expert analysis.
In addition to offering live coverage, Sky Sports Tennis will also provide a variety of other programming, such as celebrity interviews, access behind the scenes, and professional analysis of some of the year’s most important matches and moments.
