Everyone’s favorite red clay tennis event is back with the 127th Roland-Garros French Open starting on Monday, May 22 and running through Sunday, June 11. The DIRECTV coverage begins on May 28 and will include channels dedicated to the live action alongside 4K coverage of one women’s and one men’s semifinal and both men’s and women’s tournament final produced by NBC Sports.
The 2023 DIRECTV “Roland-Garros Experience” is anchored by a mosaic channel (Ch. 901) featuring simultaneous serves and volleys, complemented by separate channels (Ch. 902-907) dedicated to individual match play.
The “Experience” also boasts several on-demand enhancements to enable Grand Slam fans to call up up-to-the-minute match results; an onscreen ticker with real-time scores; the updated women’s and men’s tournament draw; individual player bios and recent results, among still other personalized features.
As a leader in sports, DIRECTV offered similar treatment last year for the French Open 2022 and Wimbledon.
