French Open TV schedule, dates
The 2021 French Open starts on Sunday (May 30) and runs for two weeks, with the women’s final on Saturday, June 12 and the men’s final on Sunday, June 13. In the U.S., it’s available on NBC and the Tennis Channel. In the U.K. you can watch on ITV4 and Eurosport. Full channel details below.
The 2021 French Open live stream is nearly upon us, and the big question is whether Rafael Nadal can add to his record haul of 13 titles.
The Spaniard will start as favorite at Roland-Garros — no surprise, given his dominance on clay and the fact that he’s already won the Barcelona and Italian Open titles this year on the same surface.
He’ll face tough competition from World No.1 Novak Djokovic, as always, while the likes of Daniil Medvedev, Dominic Thiem, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev will also be hoping to break his stranglehold on the tournament. And of course you can never discount Roger Federer, at least until he finally retires.
The women’s title is much harder to predict, with defending champion Iga Swiatek, World No.1 Ashleigh Barty and the in-form Aryna Sabalenka all tipped to do well.
World No.2 Naomi Osaka would also dearly love to make the French Open her fifth Grand Slam, while Serena Williams will be looking to win her 24th and join Margaret Court as the all-time record holder.
Like most major sports events, the 2020 French Open was put on hold from its original June date due to the coronavirus pandemic and only took place in October, but the 2021 tournament is back to its usual slot. It should also be played in front of spectators, with as many as 5,000 allowed at the start of the tournament, rising to 13,000 at its conclusion.
It all promises to be a fantastic festival of tennis — and you can watch it live online wherever you are. Here’s everything you need to watch the 2021 French Open live stream.
