Tennis fans in the UK and Ireland will have another means to access tennis content as Sky Sports announced they will be launching Sky Sports Tennis on Sky and NOW from 11 February 2024 in the aforementioned countries.
Sky Sports will broadcast live content from the ATP and WTA Tours, as well as full coverage of the US Open. This will include more than 4,000 matches from over 80 tournaments, as Sky acquired the rights to broadcast the US Open, ATP and WTA tours last year.
Viewers will have more flexibility in accessing tennis content
Sky Sports Tennis will be available to Sky Sports customers with Complete, Action and Arena packages from 11 February, with viewers being able to access multiple live court streams at the same time via the mobile app, the Sky TV app or red button and on NOW Bonus Streams.
"It's an exciting moment for Sky Sports as we launch a new home for tennis fans, and Sky Sports Tennis will give millions of homes easy access to watch the best players in the world all year round," said Jonathan Licht, Sky Sports Managing Director. "We’re proud to be the undisputed home of live sport for fans in the UK and Ireland, and this new channel will add value for our customers, enabling them to enjoy even more of the sports they love.”
The first week of programming will feature live coverage from the WTA tournament in Doha, where viewers can watch their favourite players such as World No.1 Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka. The men's tour is not left out, as ATP event in Rotterdam and subsequently Doha will kick off proceedings. Former British pros Tim Henman and Laura Robson will provide quality analysis, with Sky Sport Tennis coverage presented by Gigi Salmon and the well-known voice of Jonathan Overend on commentary.
On Sky Sports the channel will be on 408 from the 11 February when the channel becomes live, before moving exclusively to 407 on the 13 February where it will remain. Viewers can also quickly find the channel by using the Voice Control function on the Sky Glass, Stream, or Q remote, using the search terms “New balls please;’ “It was on the line;” “Sky Tennis;” “Sky Sports Tennis” or “Tennis channel”. Non-Sky subscribers can stream live matches with a NOW Sports Day and Month Membership, via Sky Sports Tennis, Sky Sports Arena, and Sky Sports Mix channels. Select catch-up content will be available on demand.
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
