Mumbai: In a major boost to its sports content slate, JioStar has announced that it has secured the exclusive broadcast and streaming rights for the US Open Tennis Championships in India for the next five years. The agreement, facilitated by the USTA’s media rights agency IMG, will bring every match from the iconic USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center live to Indian audiences via Star Sports Network and JioHotstar.
This landmark partnership marks another key addition to JioStar’s growing roster of top-tier global sporting events, making it the exclusive Indian home of two of the four Grand Slams.
“We are thrilled to add the US Open to our expanding portfolio of world-class sporting events. This association with the USTA deepens the range of premier global sports content available to fans on our platforms,” said Harry Griffith, Head of International Acquisitions & Syndication, JioStar. “With the US Open, JioStar is now the home of two of the four prestigious Grand Slams, offering year-round tennis coverage and reaffirming our commitment to delivering top-tier live action to every corner of the country.”

Reigning champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka will return to defend their titles in what is expected to be a spectacular fortnight of tennis.
A special highlight of this year’s edition will be the reimagined US Open Mixed Doubles Championship, featuring a star-studded line-up of 16 pairs competing for a US$ 1 million prize purse. Headline pairs include Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, Sinner and Emma Navarro, Świątek and Casper Ruud, Djokovic and Olga Danilovic, and Venus Williams with Reilly Opelka, among others.
