Matches at Roland-Garros start Sunday, May 24, and the tournament runs through June 7 at Roland-Garros Stadium in Paris, France, with the women’s singles final set for June 6 and the men’s final on June 7.
Coco Gauff, last year’s champion, arrives to defend her title and a packed international broadcast plan means fans in the United States can follow every match: TNT and truTV will carry live coverage while HBO Max streams the tournament and carries all of the matches during the French Open.
The schedule lists the mixed doubles final for June 4 and places the marquee singles finals at the end of the fortnight. For American viewers, Paris is nine hours ahead of Pacific Time, a detail that will shift match start times deep into U.S. evenings and early mornings depending on the session.
Broadcasters and pay-TV options give multiple viewing routes. DirecTV carries TNT and truTV in all of its packages and its Premier package adds HBO Max; DirecTV also offers a Sports Genre Pack that includes TNT and truTV, and all DirecTV plans include a five-day free trial. Hulu + Live TV includes TNT and truTV and comes with a three-day free trial, and it also provides access to and Tennis Channel 2 for additional coverage. Sling’s Blue package includes TNT and truTV, starts at $45.99 per month and does not offer a free trial.
A source says a complete roland garros 2026 schedule is available, confirming the dates and the finals placements that will shape practice and travel plans for players and their teams in late May and early June.
The sporting context sharpens the stakes. Gauff is trying to win back-to-back La Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen trophies at Roland-Garros after her victory last year. Iga Swiątek, who won in 2024, is described as the odds-favorite to lift the title again in 2026. On the men’s side, Jannik Sinner remains a player with one missing major on his list — the French Open — as he chases a first career Grand Slam completion.
Carlos Alcaraz’s absence from the clay season because of a wrist injury reshapes expectations in the men’s draw; Alcaraz is the back-to-back reigning champion at Roland-Garros, and his withdrawal alters the paths many contenders had been preparing for. That change matters for seeding, for perceived openings in each half of the draw and for how television networks will prioritize match coverage through the second week.
The draw itself produced an immediate storyline: Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka landed in the same half, ensuring their paths will intersect before the final unless one is upset earlier. That juxtaposition creates a collision course between last year’s winner and a top rival well before the tournament’s culminating day, complicating the narrative that makes Swiątek the pre-tournament favorite.
The most consequential unanswered question left by the schedule and the draw is plain and narrow: can Coco Gauff defend her title and navigate a half that includes Aryna Sabalenka to reach the June 6 final at Roland-Garros, or will the tournament’s odds-favorite reclaim the trophy? The dates are fixed, the broadcast partners are set, and the answer will be decided on court starting May 24.
