STAMFORD, Conn. – May 22, 2024 – NBC Sports and Peacock present live coverage of 2024 Roland-Garros matches, beginning with the first round in Paris, France, this Sunday, May 26, at Noon ET exclusively on Peacock. On Memorial Day, Mon., May 27, Round 1 coverage begins at 11 a.m. ET on NBC and Peacock and continues with the Night Session at 3 p.m. ET exclusively on Peacock. Live coverage culminates with the women’s final on Saturday, June 8, at 9 a.m. ET and the men’s final Sunday, June 9, at 9 a.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
NBC Sports will present coverage on eight days of the French Open tournament with Peacock exclusively presenting three Night Sessions at 3 p.m. ET in Paris: Round 1 on Mon., May 27, Round 3 on Sat., June 1, and Rounds 3 or 4 on Sun., June 2.
Noah Eagle will make his debut as NBC Sports’ Roland-Garros play-by-play announcer alongside analysts Mary Carillo and John McEnroe, who teamed to win the mixed doubles title at the 1977 French Open. McEnroe is a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion.
Eagle, who last night won a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Personality/Emerging On-Air Talent and will serve as the play-by-play voice for Team USA men’s and women’s basketball games and medal round competition at this summer’s Paris Olympics, previously called Roland-Garros matches on-site in 2020 for Tennis Channel. He has handled play-by-play and served as a host for Tennis Channel since 2019.
Headlining the men’s competition is World No. 1 and defending Roland-Garros champion Novak Djokovic, who owns a men’s record 24 Grand Slam singles titles, including three French Open championships (2016, 2021, 2023). Fourteen-time Roland-Garros champion and 22-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal, who said 2024 will likely be his final season, may be playing in his final French Open after missing nearly all of 2023 with a hip injury.
Also expected in the men’s field are World No. 2 Jannik Sinner, who won the Australian Open, World No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz, the 21-year-old who has won the U.S. Open (2022) and Wimbledon (2023) and fell to Djokovic in last year’s Roland-Garros semifinals, and 2023 Roland-Garros runner-up Casper Ruud. Sinner and Alcaraz both missed the Italian Open earlier this month with injuries.
On the women’s side, the field is headlined by World No. 1 and four-time Grand Slam winner Iga Świątek of Poland, who has won the Roland-Garros title three of the past four years (2020, 2022, 2023), and World No. 2 and two-time Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka. Świątek won her first career Grand Slam at the French Open in 2020 and has captured the two biggest clay-court titles this spring in Madrid and Rome. She can become the fourth woman to win four French Opens in the Open Era (since 1968) after Chris Evert (seven titles), Steffi Graf (six) and Justine Henin (four).
World No. 3 and 2022 Roland-Garros runner-up Coco Gauff, who won her first major title at last summer’s U.S. Open, highlights a strong field of American women expected to compete in Paris, including World No. 12 Danielle Collins, World No. 16 Madison Keys, World No. 24 Emma Navarro, and 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens.
In 2021, Peacock began exclusively live streaming a package of Roland-Garros middle weekend night sessions, expanding NBC Sports’ exclusive coverage of the Grand Slam event.
Peacock’s expansive programming features live coverage of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Premier League, U.S. Women’s and Men’s National Teams soccer matches (in Spanish), Sunday Night Football, Big Ten football and basketball, Notre Dame Football, NASCAR, NTT INDYCAR SERIES, and much more. Peacock also offers daily sports programming on the NBC Sports channel.
