6 March, 2026 - Stan, Australia’s leading local streaming service, today announced that the WTA Tour is coming to Stan Sport.
In a move that significantly bolsters its premium tennis offering, Stan Sport will now broadcast every WTA tournament from 250-level events to the WTA 500 and WTA 1000s, as well as every match of the WTA Finals. This comprehensive coverage will sit alongside Stan Sport’s existing broadcast of all four Grand Slam tournaments, offering fans an unparalleled destination for women’s professional tennis.
The action on Stan Sport kicks off with live and on-demand coverage of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells on 7 March, capturing the high-stakes action of the second round as the world’s top seeds enter the draw.
Amanda Laing, Managing Director, Streaming and Broadcast, Nine, said:
“Our commitment to premium sport is defined by the calibre of the events we broadcast, and the WTA Tour is a vital addition to our market-leading portfolio. By securing these rights, Stan Sport continues to cement its position as a leading destination for world-class women’s sport in Australia.
Integrating the WTA alongside our extensive football and rugby lineup, creates a dedicated home for the world’s most formidable female athletes. This ensures our audience has a definitive viewing experience that matches the intensity and unparalleled skill of the professional game.”The WTA Tour showcases the world’s elite on iconic global stages, with Stan Sport delivering viewers the thrilling action from marquee 1000-level events in Miami, Madrid, Rome, and Beijing. Fans will have front-row seats to follow the heavyweights of the women’s game, led by World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and reigning AO 2026 champion Elena Rybakina. The Tour also features global superstars Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff, alongside defending Indian Wells champion Mirra Andreeva and top-ten contenders like Jessica Pegula and Amanda Anisimova.
The addition of the WTA Tour ensures that Australian fans can follow the journey of the nation’s top talent year round on Stan Sport. This includes coverage of Australia’s current number 1, Maya Joint, who impressed at AO 2026 and former top 10 player Daria Kasatkina. Viewers will also be able to track the progress of established stars and rising contenders such as Ajla Tomljanovic, Daria Saville, Olivia Gadecki, and Kimberly Birrell as they compete on the global stage.
The season will culminate in the WTA Finals this November. Bringing together the top eight singles players and doubles teams in the world, the event serves as the grand finale of the professional circuit. Stan Sport will broadcast every match of this prestigious year-end championship, where the world’s best compete in a high-intensity format for the Billie Jean King Trophy.
This acquisition, made possible via a sub-licensing agreement with beIN SPORTS, reaffirms Stan Sport’s commitment to delivering the best of women’s sport to Australian audiences, providing a single destination for fans to watch the world’s best players compete in over 50 tournaments annually.

GRAND SLAM TENNIS RETURNS AS ROLAND-GARROS LIGHTS UP PARIS ON STAN SPORT
Every Match. Live & On Demand. Centre Court in 4K.
THE HOME OF GRAND SLAM TENNIS, STAN SPORT
SUNDAY 24 MAY - SUNDAY 7 JUNE
The world’s best tennis stars are set to descend on Paris to battle it out on the iconic red clay of Roland-Garros. Stan Sport will bring Australian fans every match live and on demand, starting this Sunday from 7:00pm AEST. For the ultimate viewing experience, every Centre Court match will also be streaming in stunning 4K Ultra HD.
With the shock of the tournament’s defending champion Carlos Alcaraz’s withdrawal simmering, the second major Grand Slam Tournament of the year promises drama as world number 1, Jannik Sinner, aims to extend his 29-match winning streak and capture his first Roland-Garros title, completing a historic Career Grand Slam.
The Australian contingent will be led by the nation’s top-ranked player, Alex de Minaur. Entering the clay court season after frustratingly early exits at both the Madrid Open and Italian Open earlier this year, de Minaur is now protected from playing the top four players in the world until at least the quarter-finals following Alcaraz’s withdrawal.
Also backing the Australian squad is 20-year-old Maya Joint as she carries the title of Australia’s number 1 women’s singles player into Paris, after recently competing in the Italian Open earlier this month after an absence due to injury.
The women’s field promises fierce competition as reigning champion Coco Gauff returns to the tournament, Iga Swiatek looks to regain her Roland-Garros crown and Aryna Sabalenka bids to bounce back after a disappointing Australian Open final loss.
For all the Roland-Garros headlines, talking points and highlights, Grand Slam Daily will be streaming every morning of the tournament live and exclusive on Stan and Stan Sport from 11:00am AEST.
Grand Slam Daily will be hosted by Chris Stubbs, who will be joined on the ground at Roland-Garros by Daniela Hantuchova, Barbara Schett, Aussie legend Mark Woodforde, and fan favourite Mark Petchey, as they talk to some of the biggest names in world tennis alongside our Aussie heroes.
With every match streaming live and on demand on Stan Sport, and Centre Court in 4K, tennis has never looked better. Roland-Garros is accompanied by an impressive lineup of world-class tennis on Stan Sport, including all four Grand Slams and the WTA Tour.
Watch all the action from Roland-Garros 2026 live & on demand on Stan Sport, with Centre Court in 4K UHD.
Coverage will also be available on 9Gem and streaming on 9Now.

I should note an important asterisk.
This is upscaled 4K, not native, because the host broadcaster has confirmed that will not be done this year for budgetary reasons.

Considering the Premier League’s general practice is to sell rights through a tender process, I’ll be surprised if Nine’s attempt to prevent that will be successful.
