WBD expands Roland-Garros 2026 with 1080p HDR production
Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is expanding its coverage of Roland-Garros for 2026, building on its previous year's French Open coverage. The expansion includes new camera positions developed with the French Tennis Federation (FFT) and production in 1080p HDR.
Key Takeaways
- WBD is expanding Roland-Garros 2026 coverage beyond last year’s inaugural French Open effort.
- Production will be delivered in 1080p HDR, not standard HD.
- Enhanced camera positions were developed with the French Tennis Federation (FFT).
Why It Matters
WBD is raising the technical bar on its Roland-Garros coverage by moving to 1080p HDR and adding custom camera positions. That points to a more tailored live sports production workflow, with the FFT directly involved in shaping the viewing setup. For the broader streaming video stack, it shows premium event coverage still getting incremental production upgrades rather than a wholesale format change. Watch for the final 2026 Roland-Garros coverage package and whether WBD discloses any additional production elements beyond HDR and the new camera positions.
