French Open 2026: How to Watch, Betting Odds and Favorites to Win
Jannik Sinner is the clear and heavy favorite to win on the men’s side, but will someone be able to stop him?

French Open draw keeps Iga +250 despite tough quarter
The second tennis major of the year is about to be underway as all eyes will be on Jannik Sinner on the men’s side of the bracket to see if he can complete his career grand slam. He’s on a historical run after winning the last five tournaments he played in. He officially became just the second men’s player to achieve the career Golden Masters by winning all nine ATP 1000 events.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz won’t be competing in Paris as he deals with a wrist injury that will also keep him out of Wimbledon. Novak Djokovic will look to win that elusive 25th major, which would put him above every tennis player in history.
On the women’s side, world no. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is still looking to win her first French Open title, especially after being a finalist last year. The American women, like reigning champion Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula and Madison Keys, are always fun to watch in major tournaments. Then, there’s Iga Świątek, who has already won four French Open titles.
Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s French Open, including how to watch the tournament, the betting odds and the favorites to win.

How to watch the French Open
TNT: Turner Sports began broadcasting the French Open in the United States last year after agreeing to a 10-year media deal with the tennis tournament. TNT will be the main home for this year’s French Open. From the first day of the tournament on May 24 through Monday, June 1 (the first through fourth rounds), TNT will host the majority of matches starting at 5 a.m. ET. The featured matches will be shown around 2 p.m. each day. From June 2 to 7 (the final day of the tournament), TNT will split coverage with truTV to show all the quarterfinals, semifinals and final matches.
truTV: Another one of Turner’s channels, truTV, will also host a multitude of matches throughout the tournament. From May 24 to June 1, truTV will host “The Rally at Roland-Garros” special from 5-9 a.m. ET, then again at 11 a.m.-2 p.m. each day. From June 2 to 7, truTV will split coverage with TNT to show all the matches, and will also show most of the doubles matches.
