Sky Sports has agreed a new deal to extend its live coverage of the US Open. The three-year contract extension will keep the US Open live on Sky until 2030, with an official announcement expected next week when the singles competition begins.
Under the terms of the new agreement, Sky is set to broadcast more than 12 hours of live tennis daily across the extended three-week tournament, which includes a new mixed doubles event taking place this week.
Sky has held exclusive live UK rights for the US Open since 2023, following a five-year deal that replaced Amazon Prime. The interest generated by Emma Raducanu’s US Open victory in 2021 reportedly played a significant role in Sky's decision to bid for the rights, having previously withdrawn from tennis coverage in 2017.
Tennis is valued by Sky for its popularity with women, with its 2025 tennis viewership being around 60% female. This figure is almost double the 31% for its overall coverage, which is considered useful for attracting new advertisers and brands.
