By GlobalDataThat move came after the federation decided to take production services in-house in 2021, taking on the role previously carried out by public-service network France Télévisions, which continues to televise the event.
The FFT, together with HBS, is responsible for providing TV coverage of Roland Garros in some 150 countries worldwide.
HBS is a subsidiary of Infront, the international sports marketing agency.
Earlier this year, the FFT extended domestic broadcast rights agreements for Roland Garros with France Televisions and streaming heavyweight Amazon Prime Video until 2027.
