The French Open will be broadcast on the Infront-controlled broadcasting and production firm, HBS from 2021. This was after the decision was made to award the company the host broadcasting rights for a three-year period between 2021-23.
The French Tennis Federation (FTT) had issued a tender last year after opting to bring the broadcasting production in-house and HBS won the rights to do the same.
There are about 150 broadcasters for the French Open each year and the production of the tournament live broadcast will now be done by the FTT.
