The French Tennis Federation and SuperSport, who broadcast Roland-Garros across the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa, are delighted to announce that they have extended their broadcasting agreement until the 2026 edition of the tournament.

We sincerely thank them for their loyalty.  Thanks to this agreement, tennis fans in Africa – of which there are many! – will be able to indulge their passion and watch the champions in action,” announced Gilles Moretton, President of the French Tennis Federation.

“Our association with the French Tennis Federation is one of the longest we have enjoyed and SuperSport is thrilled to have extended this partnership.

The action is constant and the great history and traditions make this must-watch television,” announced Marc Jury, chief executive of SuperSport.
