Where to watch Roland-Garros in streaming in 2023?
Roland-Garros on France TV
In France, you have two options: you can watch the tournament on the France Télévisions channels (France 2, France 3, France 4), as well as on its France.tv website and the France TV Sport application. Access to retransmissions is free with France Télévisions. Only constraint: you will need an account on France TV if you follow the matches online.
The television broadcast will start from May 28, at 11 a.m., for the final phase of the tournament. If you want to watch the qualifiers, which take place from May 22 to 26, it will be on the France.tv site and on the France TV Sport application. Almost all of the matches in the final stages of Roland-Garros will be on France Télévisions.
Roland-Garros on Amazon Prime Video
For its part, Amazon Prime Video recovers all evening sessions, from May 29 to June 7, from 8:30 p.m. They are ten in number and take place on the Philippe-Chatrier court. The platform also takes care of the matches on the Simonne-Mathieu court (singles and doubles, ladies and gentlemen), and the two main courts for the qualifications (May 22 to 26).
Amazon Prime Video will offer, in parallel with France Télévisions, the semi-finals and the final, for ladies and gentlemen, in doubles and singles. The streaming giant will also offer the mixed doubles final. Unlike France TV, broadcasting tennis matches on Amazon Prime Video requires a subscription to the platform.
How to see Roland-Garros in 4K quality?
Do you have a state-of-the-art television capable of displaying ultra high definition (4K) image quality? You certainly know that watching Roland Garros in 4K is extremely painful: you have to be near Paris, Nantes and Toulouse to benefit from 4K via TNT. If you are eligible, you have to go through channel 81 (France tv sport 4K UHD).
Another option: Fransat, which broadcasts Roland Garros in 4K on channel 444. The France TV Pro website also mentions the particular case of the access provider OrneTHD. In one case as in the other, these are operators who only concern a very small handful of Internet users. It is also possible to retrieve a UHD stream via the Molotov application.
France TV is pleased with its ability to ensure “ broadcasting of the Philippe-Chatrier court in UHD/4K images throughout the fortnight of the Tournament “. Thanks to UHD, France TV improves viewers’ television experience » and stands « at the cutting edge of technology, enriched with an extensive palette of contrasts and colors “. In reality, this step still concerns only a minority.

But the men’s singles tournament will not be the only competition. There will also be female competitors to follow: the American Jennifer Brady, her compatriot Jessica Pegula. Among the French, Caroline Garcia will be to follow: she is currently the fourth best player in the world. She has already won twice in doubles. In singles, she has already reached the quarter-finals.
