Roland Garros 2026 runs May 18–June 7. France TV and 9Now stream it free. Here's every broadcaster by country and how to watch while travelling with a VPN.
Roland Garros 2026 runs May 18 – June 7 across 170+ channels in 220 territories. Two countries stream it completely free: France (France TV) and Australia (9Now). If you're travelling and can't access your usual streaming service, a VPN connected to either country gets you back in.
Most "how to watch Roland Garros" guides bury the answer under 3,000 words of filler. Here's the short version: your access depends on where you are, and a VPN fixes the gap when you're travelling. Below is every broadcaster worth knowing, the free routes, and exactly how to set it up.
Yes — in a few countries. These broadcasters carry live Roland Garros matches without a paid subscription:
All four are geo-restricted to their home country. If you're travelling and want to access them, that's where a VPN comes in — connect to the right country, and the stream works as if you were there.
Rights below are for the 2026 season, verified May 2026.
For the full official list, check the Roland Garros broadcaster page.
The setup is the same regardless of which country's stream you need:
A streaming VPN handles this more reliably than a generic one because the servers are tuned for unblocking, not just raw speed.
9Now is the easiest completely free option. Nine Network covers the full tournament — every round, both draws, no paywall. The catch: 9Now is geo-restricted to Australia and asks for an Australian postcode at sign-up.
If you're an Australian travelling abroad, connect to VPN Super's Sydney server and sign into your existing 9Now account. It works the same as it does at home.
France TV is the other strong free route. All day sessions through the quarter-finals stream free on france.tv — no subscription, no credit card. Connect to VPN Super's Paris server and you're set. The only matches behind a paywall are the 11 night sessions on Amazon Prime Video.
The US broadcasting landscape for Roland Garros is more fragmented than most countries. Warner Bros. Discovery holds the rights through 2034, split across three platforms:
There's no free US option. American viewers travelling abroad can connect to a US server and keep using their existing Max or Peacock account. Play usually starts at 5:00 AM ET, with night sessions at 2:15 PM ET — timed well for a lunch break.
TNT Sports is the exclusive UK and Ireland broadcaster. Streaming is on discovery+. This is paid — no free route within the UK for live matches.
Across Europe, Eurosport covers the tournament in 50+ territories. If you already have a Eurosport or discovery+ subscription at home and you're travelling outside Europe, connect to a server in your home country to keep access.
The tournament runs three weeks at Stade Roland-Garros in Paris:
Day sessions typically start at 11:00 AM local time (CEST). Night sessions on Philippe-Chatrier begin at 8:15 PM CEST. For US viewers, that's 5:00 AM ET for day sessions and 2:15 PM ET for night matches.
Where a VPN won't help: 9Now requires an Australian postcode at sign-up, so creating a brand-new account from outside Australia is harder than the geo-block alone suggests. If you don't already have a 9Now account, France TV is the easier free route — no postcode, no credit card, just an email address.
Install VPN Super, connect to a France server, and open france.tv. Free account, no credit card, full day-session coverage through the quarter-finals plus co-broadcast of the semis and finals. That's the lowest-friction route for anyone travelling during the tournament.
Partly. Amazon Prime Video carries the 11 night sessions in France, plus co-broadcast rights for the semi-finals and finals. Day sessions are on France TV (free). Outside France, Prime Video does not carry Roland Garros — you'll need your country's local broadcaster.
In the UK and Ireland, yes — via the TNT Sports add-on on discovery+. In other European markets, Eurosport (also part of Warner Bros. Discovery) carries the tournament. Discovery+ availability varies by country.
Sony LIV holds exclusive digital rights in India through 2027. A subscription is required. Indian travellers abroad can connect to a VPN server in India to keep using Sony LIV. For a free alternative, connect to France (france.tv) or Australia (9Now if you have an existing account).
Match the server to the broadcaster. France for france.tv (free), Australia for 9Now (free), US for Max or Peacock, UK for TNT Sports / discovery+, India for Sony LIV. Pick the city closest to the broadcaster's servers — Paris, Sydney, New York, London, or Mumbai. Browse all VPN Super server locations.
A small speed drop is normal — usually 5–15%. For 1080p streaming, you won't notice it on a reasonable connection. Pick a server geographically close to the broadcaster for the best speeds, and use a streaming-optimised VPN rather than a free app that caps bandwidth.
