(Bloomberg) -- Walt Disney Co.’s ESPN sports network and the US Tennis Association extended their media rights agreement, allowing the broadcaster to televise the US Open tournament for another 12 years through 2037.
The deal announced Wednesday starts in 2026 and transfers hosting duties to the USTA. ESPN will air the US Open in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as in Canada on the TSN and RDS networks.
Rosalyn Durant, ESPN’s executive vice president of programming and acquisitions, said at a network event that the broadcaster is “proud to be part of their story, and very excited for this to be our longest-term tennis agreement with the US Open.”
Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. acquired US media rights for the French Open in June.
