ESPN and the United State Tennis Association have signed a new 12-year agreement, which will see ESPN as the exclusive rightsholder of the US Open in the U.S. through 2037.
The deal starts in 2026 and will also make ESPN the home for the US Open in Latin America, the Caribbean and Canada on TSN and RDS. This is ESPN’s longest-term tennis agreement.
As part of the new agreement, USTA will “take over host broadcaster duties” starting in 2026, taking over hosting duties from ESPN. ESPN in turn will focus its efforts on the more than 260 hours of annual coverage planned for the U.S. and in international territories.
More to come.
