Are you excited for the next big slam on the clay courts? French Open 2025 is just around the corner, and fans are already talking about matchups, ticket options and how to watch live. In this guide we’ll break down the schedule, the top players to watch, ticket tips and a few handy tricks to make your experience smooth.
The 2025 edition kicks off on May 26 and runs until June 9. That gives you two weeks of singles, doubles and mixed doubles action. The first week mostly features early‑round matches, while the second week brings the quarter‑finals, semis and the finals. If you’re planning a trip, try to arrive a day early so you can catch some warm‑up practice on the iconic Court Philippe‑Chatrier.
Matches are played on three main courts – Philippe‑Chatrier, Suzanne‑Lenglen and Simonne‑Maurice – plus a handful of side courts. The main courts have larger capacities and better facilities, so they’re the ones most fans target when buying tickets.
Last year’s champion is looking to defend the title, and a few rising stars are hungry for their first big win. Keep an eye on:
These players, plus a few dark horses, will shape the drama and make every match worth watching.
Tickets are sold in three categories: General Admission, Reserved Seating and Premium Packages. General Admission offers standing room on the outer courts – great for budget travelers. Reserved Seating gives you a fixed seat on the main courts, and Premium Packages bundle food, merchandise and exclusive lounge access.
Buy tickets early from the official French Open website; they release in phases and sell out fast. If you miss the initial batch, look for reputable resale platforms, but avoid scalpers.
Paris in late May can be chilly, especially on the courts. Pack a light jacket, a rain poncho and a good pair of walking shoes. The venue is huge, so arrive at least 45 minutes before your match to find your seat and settle in.
Can’t make it to Paris? No problem. The tournament streams live on major sports networks and their online platforms. In India, look for coverage on Sony Ten or the official French Open app. Social media updates, live scores and highlight reels are posted constantly on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
If you want a deeper analysis, check out post‑match podcasts and YouTube breakdowns. They often feature former pros explaining why a particular point mattered.
Whether you’re on the courts, at a local bar or watching from home, French Open 2025 promises plenty of drama, surprise upsets and unforgettable moments. Grab your tickets, set your alerts, and get ready for a two‑week clay adventure you won’t forget.
At 22, Carlos Alcaraz is now worth $48 million, powered by a near $3 million French Open 2025 winner’s check and more than $30 million a year in endorsements. He’s already a five-time Grand Slam champion and ranks eighth all-time in career prize money, surpassing $40.5 million. Despite the fast rise, he still lives with his parents in Spain, and his brand appeal shows no signs of slowing.
