Sky extends Australian Open partnership through to 2032

Sky New Zealand has secured a six-year extension of its longstanding partnership with Tennis Australia, retaining New Zealand broadcast rights to the Australian Open through to 2032.

Sky will continue to deliver comprehensive coverage of the Australian Open across Sky Sport and Sky Sport Now, and from 2027 free-to-air coverage will also include Three and ThreeNow.

Adam Crothers, Sky Head of Content Partnerships, said: “The Australian Open is one of the premier tennis events and has long been part of summer viewing for New Zealanders. We’re delighted to extend our partnership with Tennis Australia for another six years, securing the content we know is important to our audiences for the longer-term.”

“Our expanded reach also gives us more ways to bring the Australian Open to New Zealanders. Alongside comprehensive coverage for Sky customers, we’ll showcase selected matches and moments free-to-air on Three and ThreeNow, ensuring the tournament reaches an even broader audience.”

Tennis Australia Chief Commercial Officer, Cedric Cornelis, said: “New Zealand has been a valued market for the Australian Open for many years and Sky has played an important role in bringing the Australian Open to Kiwi fans for more than two decades. This agreement will help us continue to grow the tournament's reach and connect even more fans with the excitement of the summer of tennis.”

The agreement continues Sky’s 25-year partnership with Tennis Australia, with the extension also including the New Zealand broadcast rights to the Laver Cup and United Cup.
