Tennis Australia has launched a dedicated 24/7 free ad-supported streaming (FAST) channel on Samsung TV Plus, Samsung’s free streaming service, during the Australian Open (AO) 2025.
Tennis+ is now available on millions of Samsung TVs across Australia and New Zealand and is set to go live later this year across 17 territories worldwide.
During the AO, audiences can enjoy courtside action on Tennis+ with live daily studio shows, including AO BlueZone, which covers the biggest stories of the day, alongside an archive of full matches, highlights, and press conferences from quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals matches stretching back to 1975.
The channel will also include over 200 hours of feature content, such as the collection of AO Originals documentaries and player features.
Samsung TV Plus ANZ & Southeast Asia head, Ed Love, said partnering with Tennis Australia to create the first global, year-round destination for the Australian Open showcases how ad-supported services are beginning to reshape the TV landscape.
"Sporting fans’ appetite for content they love goes way beyond live match fixtures, making FAST the ideal way to serve up hours of thrilling tennis action long after the tournament is over," he said.
Tennis Australia CCO Cedric Cornelis said Samsung TV Plus offers the organisation access to untapped audiences around the world, as well as an alternative route to viewers who prefer ad-supported streaming.
"Creating an accessible home for feature productions and a rich archive of iconic matches means we can bring our world-class tennis history to life on the big screen with audiences old and new," he said.
