beIN Sports has confirmed it will remain the home of the US Open Tennis Championships until 2027 after renewing exclusive media rights to the tournament for a further five years.
The extension means beIN will continue to be the only platform in the MENA region where viewers can watch all four Grand Slams.
beIN has held the exclusive rights to the US Open for more than a decade. The new deal, which runs from 2023 to 2027 and includes Arabic and English language coverage, is a continuation of that and comes at a time when local interest in tennis has arguably never been higher.
Commenting on the extension, Mohammad Al-Subaie, CEO of beIN MENA, said: “beIn and the US Open have enjoyed a highly successful partnership over the past decade, bringing to the Middle East and North Africa some of the most memorable tennis matches of recent years,” said Mohammad Al-Subaie, CEO of beIN MENA. “Interest in tennis is at an all-time high in this region and we are delighted to have the broadcast rights for five more years. Continuing to be the home of Grand Slam tennis gives us the chance to share more special sporting moments with our subscribers and we look forward to another exciting tournament later this month”.
Kirsten Corio, CCO, USTA, added: “The US Open and beIN have together delivered spectaculartennis to fans in the Middle East and North Africa for many year, and we are very pleased to continue our partnership.
“As the world’s best tennis players, including Ons Jabeur, compete on our Grand Slam stage, we look forward to continuing to expand the US Open audience throughout the region for many years to come”.
