Sky Sports has reached an agreement with the United States Tennis Association to broadcast the US Open for the next five years in the UK and Ireland.
The new deal begins with the 2023 edition of the event and will last until the 2027 edition of the event. It's not the first time Sky Sports has enjoyed this partnership as it was the broadcasting partner for 25 years (1991-2015). Sky Sports managing director Jonathan Licht said about the deal:
"We are very excited to partner with the USTA once again to deliver the US Open, one of the greatest Grand Slam tennis tournaments in the world. We have had a great history with the USTA and remember Andy Murray's 2012 US Open win as one of the great moments on Sky Sports. This is another huge sporting event for our viewers, and we look forward to bringing tennis fans more of what they love and welcoming in new fans to the sport."
Kirsten Corio, USTA Chief Commercial Officer added:
"The USTA and Sky Sports have a long history together and it's an exciting time to be partnering once again. We're looking forward to showcasing the US Open to an increasing number of fans in the UK and Ireland over the next five years as the sport continues to grow and a new generation of stars emerges."
