Sky Sports agrees three-year US Open extension

Sky Sports has successfully secured a vital three-year extension to its broadcast rights deal for the US Open, guaranteeing that the prestigious tennis major remains exclusively available across the United Kingdom and Ireland through the conclusion of the 2030 tournament. This lucrative agreement ensures that passionate tennis enthusiasts will continue enjoying comprehensive live coverage via television channels and streaming platforms alike, building upon a partnership that has previously delivered iconic Flushing Meadows moments such as Emma Raducanu’s historic 2021 singles championship run from the qualifying rounds.

The newly minted agreement reinforces a broadcast portfolio that already features extensive coverage of the ATP and WTA Tours, cementing the network's status as a premier destination for racquet sports fans throughout the British Isles. Under the terms of the extended contract, viewers will gain access to every single court and matchday session from New York, featuring the world’s elite athletes competing for one of the sport's four legendary Grand Slam trophies alongside a lucrative prize purse that exceeded sixty-five million dollars during the previous tournament cycle.

Looking ahead to the upcoming hard-court major championships, production teams are already preparing innovative multi-screen viewing experiences and enhanced tactical analysis features to captivate audiences when the world's best players return to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Defending champions and rising stars will aim to etch their names into history alongside past legends like Serena Williams and Roger Federer, knowing their grueling fortnight in Queens will reach millions of devoted households across the entire region.
