Tennis Australia launches FAST channel on Samsung TV Plus

Tennis Australia has launched a 24/7 free ad-supported streaming (FAST) channel on Samsung TV Plus, during the Australian Open 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.

First of the year’s four Grand Slam tennis events, the Australian Open live games attracts a worldwide viewership of over 550 million. Tennis+ marks Tennis Australia’s first expansion into FAST, offering global fans a new way to access the game all year round. 

During the tournament 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 as far as 1975.

Keeping pace

The launch of Tennis+ on Samsung TV Plus enables the sporting body to further increase reach and maximise engagement with global audiences, all while the introduction of tennis greats to a new generation of fans keeps pace with changing viewer habits. 

Ed Love, Head of Samsung TV Plus ANZ & Southeast Asia, says, “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.”

Cedric Cornelis, Chief Commercial Officers at Tennis Australia, says, “Samsung TV Plus offers us 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.”
