What's coming up on Sky Sports Tennis? Plus, how to subscribe (2024)

Have you had your fill of the very best streaming services and their scripted (and unscripted content)? Is live sports action calling out to you during this summer of the men's Euro 2024 football tournament, the Olympics and Paralympics, the men's T20 World Cup in cricket – and more?

If you're a tennis fan, then you might like to check out Sky's recently launched tennis channel. In the same vein as Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports Cricket, you can catch major tournaments and sporting drama to rival Challengers (albeit without the relentless, synth-heavy soundtrack) on Sky Sports Tennis.

Here's what you need to know about what (and who) you can find on the channel, along with how to subscribe.

Sky Sports Tennis launched in February 2024, with a striking advert featuring José González's evocative cover of The Knife's song 'Heartbeats' and thousands of shiny new tennis balls.

As the name indicates, it's the broadcaster's new dedicated channel for all things tennis. It plans to broadcast over 80 tournaments and over 4,000 matches per year.

Sky has the rights to the prestigious US Open grand slam and will also broadcast regular action from the top tiers of men's and women's tennis, including the ATP and WTA finals.

The ATP Masters 1000 series (including prestigious tournaments in Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome and Cincinnati) will also feature on Sky.

Sky TV customers with a Sky Sports subscription can find Sky Sports Tennis on channel 407 or via the interface on their Sky Glass TV or Sky Stream box.

Customers on the Sky-operated streaming service NOW who hold day Sports Membership can access live matches on Sky Sports Tennis, Sky Sports Arena and Sky Sports Mix. Monthly Sports Membership customers will also have access to further coverage via Bonus Streams.

Virgin Media customers can access Sky Sports Tennis on channel 520 (HD) or 537 (SD), while EE TV customers can watch on channel 445 (HD) or channel 425 (SD).

With tennis' clay court season now over after Iga Świątek and Carlos Alcaraz's victories at the French Open, eyes turn to the road to Wimbledon (which airs for free on the BBC in the UK) as the grass court season gets going.

Here are the tournaments you'll be able to watch on Sky Sports Tennis this June. Most of the tournaments that Sky is broadcasting take place in Germany, apart from the ATP and WTA 250 at Rosmalen, which takes place at 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, and the ATP 250 championships in Mallorca.

• June 10-16: ATP/WTA 250 Rosmalen Grass Court Championships

• June 17-24: ATP 500 Halle Open

For those of you in the UK looking to watch the ATP Queen's Club Championships (June 17-24) and ATP/WTA Eastbourne International (June 22-29), these will air on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, the LTA has announced.

The WTA Nottingham Open (until June 16) and WTA Birmingham Classic (June 15-23) will air on BBC iPlayer and the red button.

Sky Sports Tennis will also broadcast late-night highlights packages and replays of recent ATP and WTA tour games throughout the month.

There are a number of ways to watch Sky Sports Tennis. The most common is by signing up for the full Sky Sports package via Sky Q, Sky Glass or Sky Stream.

You'll need to have the entry-level Sky TV package – so that's Sky TV for Sky Q, or Sky TV plus Netflix Standard with Ads for Sky Glass and Sky Stream – before you can sign up for any additional packages such as Sky Sports.

The full Sky Sports package includes nine dedicated sports channels, plus Sky Sports Mix, Sky Sports Arena and Sky Sports News.

You'll be able to watch men's Premier League and EFL Championship football, Formula 1 and IndyCar, top-level cricket, selected Women's Super League football matches, the German Bundesliga (featuring the likes of Harry Kane and Jadon Sancho), big rugby games, Premier League Darts, plus rugby, basketball and netball.

From August, this package will also include Sky Sports+, a new linear channel complemented by live streams that will expand its coverage capabilities dramatically.

New Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream customers can add Sky Sports to their packages for £20 per month instead of the usual £28 per month as of June 11. That's assuming an 18-month contract.

Sky Glass or Sky Stream customers can instead choose a 31-day rolling contract but that costs slightly more per month – at the moment, there's an offer price of £27 per month instead of the usual £30 per month.

For existing customers looking to upgrade to Sky Sports, sign in to your Sky account or check out customer deals here. This page lists an offer to take up Sky Sports Complete for £30 per month as an existing customer on an 18-month contract, but note the small print specifies that this "requires a new 18-month Sky TV contract".

NOW also has the option of a daily Sky Sports membership for £14.99 per day, or a flexible monthly Sky Sports membership for £29.99 per month for the first six months, on a one-month rolling basis. From month seven, this goes up to the full price of £34.99 per month.

As outlined above, monthly Sky Sports membership also includes Bonus Streams, or "extra content on selected sports events". Listed examples include additional EFL football matches, further tennis coverage and the F1 Race Control feed.

New NOW customers who are happy to commit to a minimum six-month term can take up an offer where they'll pay £26 per month for that six-month period – note membership will auto-renew at the full price from month seven.

This promotion is also open to "existing NOW Sports members in the last 30 days of their current offer" – but not to those "currently billed by a third party such as Apple, EE or BT".

From August, NOW customers will also be able to benefit from the expanded Sky Sports+ coverage.

Sky Sports Tennis' presenting team is led by Gigi Salmon, with commentary from Jonathan Overend and Tim Henman and Laura Robson as regular pundits for the channel.

Prior to leading the Sky Sports Tennis team, Gigi worked for talkSPORT, Chelsea TV and Radio Wimbledon. She also spent several years on BBC Radio 5 Live's tennis team, working across major tournaments including Wimbledon.

Jonathan moved from BBC local radio to national prominence in 1997, when he joined the team at BBC Radio 5 Live to work on its sports coverage.

In addition to tennis, he worked on the station's coverage of the Ashes cricket tournament, the Paralympic Games and the men's football World Cup, and he spent five years anchoring its Sunday afternoon coverage of the Premier League.

In 2020, he went freelance. While his voice can still be heard on the BBC, he has also since worked for broadcasters including ITV and Times Radio.

Laura won an Olympic silver medal in the mixed doubles with Andy Murray at London 2012, and she achieved her career-high WTA ranking the following summer when she ranked among the world's top 30 women's singles tennis players.

She retired from competitive tennis in 2022, and in addition to her work for Sky, she was part of Eurosport's French Open broadcast team this year.

During his playing career, Tim achieved 15 ATP titles and made the semi-finals of the French Open, US Open and Wimbledon. He also won an Olympic silver medal, at Atlanta 1996 in the men's doubles.

Since retiring at the end of 2007, Tim has been a regular on the BBC's coverage of Wimbledon, and like Laura, he also lent his insight to Eurosport's coverage of the French Open this year.

Guest pundits who've featured on Sky Sports Tennis' coverage so far this year have included Annabel Croft, Martina Navratilova, Anne Keothavong, Marion Bartoli and Feliciano Lopez.
