BeIN Sports, the major international pay-TV broadcaster, has renewed its deal in France to show the men’s Davis Cup and women’s Billie Jean King (BJK) Cup national team tennis competitions.
The Qatar-based operator, which has shown the Davis Cup and BJK Cup (formerly Fed Cup) in France since 2015, agreed a multi-year extension with the International Tennis Federation (ITF) governing body.
BeIN will continue to show matches featuring the French national teams. The men's team kicked off its 2025 competition over the weekend against Brazil.
Meanwhile, the France women's team, which was demoted from the world group of the BJK Cup for the first time since 2011 at the end of last season, will have to go through a group stage to be able to play a play-off and access the top-tier of the competition again.
The Davis Cup final eight will be held in Bologna between November 18 and 23, while the BJK Cup Finals will take place in Shenzhen later this year (dates to be confirmed).
Elsewhere, Davis Cup rights have been retained in Brazil by the DSports channel for another two years.
