The second grand slam of the tennis season is less than a week away with contests beginning on Sunday, May 25. While the classic red clay of Roland Garros will surely dazzle spectators as always, this year’s tournament could offer a different feel for fans.
For one, Rafael Nadal will not be competing. The absence of the 14-time French Open champion will certainly be felt after he retired a year ago. Furthermore, the French Open will be featured on a different channel than usual, which could lead to some confusion among American spectators.
Fortunately, we have you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the 2025 French Open.
