Servus TV, the free-to-air television channel owned by Austrian energy drink giant Red Bull, has extended its partnership with the Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) media giant to continue providing coverage of the Australian Open and French Open tennis grand slams until 2026.

Through the renewed sub-licensing agreement, the broadcaster will continue to show the top match of the day live from the tournaments (taking place in Melbourne and Paris) every day for two more years.

The rights package also includes the live broadcast rights for both the men's and women's semi-finals and the finals in both competitions.

All matches on ServusTV can also be seen live on the ServusTV On streaming platform.

The 2025 Australian Open will be held from 12 to 26 January, while the French Open from Roland Garros will take place between 25 May and 8 June next year.

WBD holds pan-European rights for the Australian Open through 2031, and for Roland Garros through the 2026 edition of that clay-court event.

In terms of the other grand slams, last year’s Wimbledon Championships were shown in Austria by the Amazon Prime Video streaming service, while the US Open was aired by Puls4, Sky Deutschland, and Sportdeuschland.
