BREAKING 🚨: Sky secures new partnerships for the ATP and WTA Tours, which will see year-round tennis for fans on Sky Sports. 🤩
The 2025 season begins in full with the Australian Open between January 12 - January 26 and TV rights have undergone partial changes for the WTA Tour. Additionally, the four Grand Slam events will be broadcast on three different channels, potentially posing a challenge for fans to follow the tournaments throughout the year.
The new year will feature exciting protagonists. Jannik Sinner leads the way as the top dog in the ATP Tour with Carlos Alcaraz clipping at his heels. Can Novak Djokovic offer any resolve with new coach Andy Murray. While Alexander Zverev continues to strut his stuff.
On the women's side, Aryna Sabalenka has already proven she can challenge Iga Swiatek for the world No. 1 spot becoming the top player in the women's ganme. Players like Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, and Jessica Pegula will aim to enter the fray for Grand Slam titles and threaten Sabalenka and Swiatek.
Emma Raducanu will aim to recapture former glories. While there is a spot there for Caroline Wozniacki and Naomi Osaka to really prove themselves this year.
Rafael Nadal is now gone leaving the main comeback to Nick Kyrgios with the Aussie ace set to compete again from the Australian Open on home soil. It has been a long time coming but he will aim to show some of that form that saw him reach the Wimbledon Final.
ATP Tour broadcasts will be straightforward, with two main options. The SkySport Tennis television package will cover ATP 250, ATP 500, and Masters 1000 events on TV, along with a streaming service for viewers to choose their desired matches. Tennis TV also provides a streaming service. ATP Challenger events can be followed for free on the ATP Tour website.
Similar to Tennis TV, the WTA has its own app ("WTA TV") where all tour matches can be viewed. Additionally, the Sky Sports package includes women's matches, allowing viewers to watch both tours.
TV Australian Open (12-26 January 2025): As in previous years, Eurosport will broadcast matches for free on Eurosport 1 in Free TV, although match selection is only available on Discovery+.
TV French Open (25 May - 8 June, 2025) : Matches can also be watched on Eurosport and Discovery+.
TV Wimbledon (30 June - 13 July 2025): After 16 years, the tournament will no longer be broadcast on Sky, and rights have moved to Amazon Prime Video until 2027. In the UK, it remains on BBC.
TV US Open (25 August - 7 September, 2025) : Sportdeutschland.TV is the new rights holder, replacing Eurosport in Germany. If you have a SmartTV, you can download the Sportdeutschland.TV app, stream it to your television, and choose which match to watch. In the UK it is Sky Sports. In the US, it is Tennis Channel and ESPN.
