Sky Sports extends US Open deal to 2030

Sky has agreed a three-year extension to its US Open deal, ensuring Sky Sports & NOW remains the exclusive home of the tournament in the UK and Ireland until the end of 2030.

As part of the partnership with the United States Tennis Association (USTA), Sky Sports will retain exclusive live coverage of all men’s and women’s singles, doubles, mixed doubles, juniors and wheelchair competitions throughout the three-week tournament. The agreement was negotiated by the USTA’s media rights partner, IMG.

Alongside broadcast rights, fans in the UK and Ireland will also be able to catch up on all the action with clips and highlights available across Sky’s digital and social platforms.

This year’s coverage has featured augmented reality graphics, enhanced data integrations, in-depth touchscreen analysis and behind-the-scenes content, bringing fans closer to the action than ever before.

Sky’s tennis coverage is led by presenter Gigi Salmon and includes expert analysis from Tim Henman and Laura Robson, alongside additional talent and co-commentators at events throughout the season. Match commentary is provided by Jonathan Overend.

Jonathan Licht, Chief Executive Officer Sky Sports UK & Ireland, said: “The US Open is one of the highlights of the sporting calendar, featuring the biggest names in both the men’s and women’s games, all set against the spectacular New York backdrop. We’re delighted to extend our partnership with the USTA, reinforcing our shared commitment to embracing innovation, showcasing the best in the sport and delivering world class coverage for viewers. This renewal further cements Sky Sports’ position as the home of sport in the UK and Ireland, offering fans unrivalled breadth and value all year round.”

Kirsten Corio, Chief Commercial Officer, USTA: “The US Open and Sky Sports have been trusted partners for many years, and we’re excited to continue such a strong relationship with this renewal. Sky shares our commitment to delivering innovative and cutting-edge coverage to a great audience of tennis fans in the U.K. and Ireland, and we’re confident that our continued partnership will have a direct impact on tennis’ extraordinary growth and deepen fans’ connection with the game.”

Live tennis is available all year on Sky, including full coverage of the ATP and WTA Tours on Sky Sports or available to stream with NOW and the Sky Sports app. Sky Sports will broadcast over 4,000 matches and 80 tournaments this season.

The partnership extension adds to Sky’s already unrivalled portfolio in the UK and Ireland with more top-quality sport than anywhere else, with most sport rights renewed until near the end of the decade. That includes 1,500 games from the Premier League, WSL, EFL and SPFL, exclusive live coverage from every Formula 1 race weekend until the end of 2034, home men’s and women’s international England cricket, every shot from the golf Majors, year-round coverage of darts, world class boxing from promoters Zuffa and MVP, and more action from the NFL, Netball Super League and rugby league.
