Where to watch Roland-Garros 2024: Live Streaming Options for the Prestigious Tennis Tournament

France Télévisions (France 2, France 3) and Amazon are broadcasting the 123rd edition of Roland-Garros, which begins this Sunday, May 26. To watch the entire tennis tournament, you must alternate between the two platforms.

Before Euro 2024 football and before the Olympic Games in Paris, sports fans have an appointment with Roland-Garros — the second Grand Slam tournament of the year in tennis. It is a prestigious event, of which it is already the 123rd edition.

There are many favorites for this Roland-Garros 2024. Novak Djokovic, less imperial in recent months, is one of them. But we will have to be wary of Jannik Sinner, certainly uncertain a few days ago, or even of Carlos Alcaraz, strong on clay. Unlike last year, Rafael Nadal, 14 titles at Roland-Garros, will be there.

What to expect from the 2024 edition of Roland-Garros?

For once, and it's rare enough to be noted, Rafael Nadal is not putting his title back on the line. The ogre of clay was absent from the previous edition of Roland-Garros. It is therefore Novak Djokovic, world number 1, who will defend his crown. Note that Nadal will have a shock entry against Alexander Zverev (from Sunday), while Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka will treat themselves to a small vintage poster.
