This will include two major events held in France, the Monte-Carlo and Paris Masters, as well as the other prestigious tournaments in Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome, Canada, Cincinnati, and Shanghai.
The deal will also see the broadcasting giant show all ATP 500 tournaments, the season-ending ATP Finals, and the Next Gen ATP Finals.
BeIN will return as the rights holder of the ATP Tour in France after a decade-long hiatus. The Qatar-based broadcaster previously held rights from 2014 to 2018.
Since 2019, the rights holder has been Eurosport, the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned pan-European sports broadcaster.
The acquisition strengthens BeIN’s tennis portfolio in France, which already includes the women’s WTA Tour, Wimbledon, the Billie Jean King Cup, and the Davis Cup.
However, the pay-TV operator’s deal for the WTA Tour is due to expire at the end of this year.
Public service broadcaster France TV and streaming heavyweight Amazon Prime Video hold the domestic rights to the French Open Grand Slam through 2027.
France is going through a difficult moment in men's tennis, with just one player in the top 30 of the ATP Tour rankings – 22-year-old Arthur Fils, who is currently ranked seventh.
