NBC Sports and Roland-Garros: In 1975, NBC became the first American television network to provide coverage of the French Open when the network signed a three-year deal with the French Tennis Federation. The tournament was covered by CBS from 1980-82 and returned to NBC in 1983, where it has remained since. This is NBC Sports’ 40^th consecutive year presenting the event.

Following is the schedule for NBC Sports’ live Roland-Garros coverage:
