The second grand slam of the year, the French Open, played on the clay courts of Roland Garros in Paris gets underway on Sunday, May 28 and is scheduled to conclude on Sunday, June 11 with the men’s final.
Over two weeks, 128 players on both the men’s and women’s side of the draw will attempt to win seven straight matches to take out the grand slam.
Rafael Nadal enters the tournament as favourite on the men’s side, while the women’s is wide open.
Fox Sports will be the only place in Australia to watch the French Open, with the pay-TV network dedicating a channel around the clock to coverage of the second grand slam of the year.
The channel number will be 505.
They will show the best matches on each day, generally focusing on Australian players and the higher seeds in the early rounds.
From there, the network will show all the semi-finals and both finals in full.
As the tournament is being broadcast on Foxtel, the only way to live stream will be through either the Foxtel Play or Foxtel Go apps, which give users the ability to stream Foxtel channels depending on current Foxtel service.
Foxtel Go comes with either an existing or new Foxtel service and can be logged into any two devices to stream whichever channels you would be able to view off your TV.
Foxtel Play is the better choice for those who only want to access live-streaming services, rather than have a traditional installation.
