Sky Sports will remain as the exclusive home of the US Open in the U.K. and Ireland, securing a three-year extension through the end of 2030.
Through the deal with the United States Tennis Association (USTA), negotiated by IMG, Sky Sports will deliver exclusive live coverage of all men’s and women’s singles, doubles, mixed doubles, juniors and wheelchair competitions throughout the three-week tournament. Sky’s digital and social platforms will provide clips and highlights.
Sky has enhanced it coverage this year with augmented reality graphics, enhanced data integrations, in-depth touchscreen analysis, and behind-the-scenes content.
“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,” said Jonathan Licht, CEO of Sky Sports UK & Ireland. “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 U.K. and Ireland, offering fans unrivaled breadth and value all year round.”
Kirsten Corio, chief commercial officer at USTA, stated, “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.”
