Is 9Now the best way to watch the French Open 2025?
Nine Network has been the "exclusive broadcaster of Roland-Garros in Australia" since 2021. offering extensive coverage of the tournament on its free channels (Channel Nine, 9Go and 9GEM) as well as on its on-demand streaming service, 9Now.
There have been no major complaint about its streaming quality and, in fact, 9Now has already been successfully streaming the Australian Open since 2018. The free-to-air coverage is HD with 4K streaming available over on the Nine Entertainment-owned Stan Sports platform.
As of 2024, Nine says it "2.7 million viewers" watched the Olympic Games, including tennis, exclusively on the platform, which certainly sounds worthy of this year's French Open – not to mention Wimbledon.
Of course, for the best streaming experience, 9Now says "you need a minimum of 0.6 Mbps." If you want to get the best out Roland Garros, 9Now recommends "1.8 mbps for good picture quality."
We used it to catch the Djokovic vs Zverev game and the streaming quality was superb!
