For the 2026 French Open, HBO Max will become the exclusive streaming home for over 900 matches, marking a significant shift in how U.S. fans will consume Roland-Garros. This comprehensive coverage positions Warner Bros. Discovery as a major player in tennis broadcasting, offering an unparalleled volume of content. TNT Sports will provide expanded Roland-Garros coverage in the U.S. in 2026 across multiple platforms, according to Warner Bros. Discovery.

However, Warner Bros. Discovery is expanding its traditional TV presence for Roland-Garros while simultaneously pushing nearly all streaming content exclusively to HBO Max, creating a bifurcated viewing experience for tennis enthusiasts.

WBD is betting on a hybrid strategy to maximize reach and subscription revenue, potentially setting a new standard for major sports event broadcasting in the streaming era.

  • TNT Sports will provide expanded Roland-Garros coverage in the U.S. in 2026 across multiple platforms including TNT, truTV, HBO Max, Bleacher Report, and House of Highlights, according to Warner Bros. Discovery.
  • HBO Max will be the exclusive streaming destination for all Roland-Garros coverage, offering over 900 matches live and on demand, according to Warner Bros. Discovery.
