The Roland Garros 2026 schedule begins Sunday, May 24, when the French Open opens in Paris and starts a 15-day run through June 7. Matches will air on TNT and truTV and stream on HBO Max, which carries every match during the tournament.
The schedule gives fans clear targets from the start: the mixed doubles final is set for June 4, the women’s singles final for June 6 and the men’s final for June 7. Paris is nine hours ahead of Pacific Time, so West Coast viewers will be watching into the morning and early afternoon for many sessions.
For many viewers, the practical question is where to watch without missing the biggest matches. DirecTV carries TNT and truTV in all of its packages, with HBO Max added in the Premier package and a Sports Genre Pack that also includes TNT and truTV. DirecTV plans include a five-day free trial. Hulu + Live TV also includes TNT and truTV, offers a three-day free trial and gives tennis fans access to and Tennis Channel 2 for additional coverage. Sling’s Blue package includes TNT and truTV and starts at $45.99/mo., though Sling does not offer a free trial.
That viewing guide doubles as a preview of the tournament itself. Coco Gauff, who won the French Open title in 2025, and Aryna Sabalenka landed in the same half after the draw, creating the possibility of a semifinal meeting. Iga Swiątek is the odds-favorite to win this year’s edition after her 2024 title, while Jannik Sinner is chasing the only major missing from a career grand slam.
The draw also reshaped the men’s side. Novak Djokovic landed in the opposite half from Sinner, while Carlos Alcaraz will miss the tournament and Wimbledon because of a wrist injury. For Gauff, the route back to the final begins on the same clay that carried her to the title last year, with the opener arriving just after her last win at the Wuhan Open in October 2025.
The first round starts Sunday, but the tournament’s most telling dates are clustered at the end. By the time the women’s final is played June 6 and the men’s final follows June 7, the field will have answered the questions the draw raised. Until then, the Roland Garros 2026 schedule is the map for both the television audience and the title race.
