Infosys Ltd. and Roland-Garros tournament organizers have extended their strategic partnership through 2031 [1].
The agreement signals a deeper integration of artificial intelligence into professional sports, aiming to modernize how global audiences interact with live tennis. By leveraging AI-driven innovations, the collaboration seeks to increase fan engagement through more immersive digital tools.
The announcement, made on May 28, 2026 [2], introduces a suite of AI-powered digital experiences designed for the tennis ecosystem [1]. These tools are intended to provide fans with deeper insights and interactive content during the tournament. This expansion follows a period of growth in the relationship, which recently reached a five-year milestone [3].
Infosys, based in India, will continue to provide the technical infrastructure necessary to support these digital initiatives in Paris [4]. The partnership focuses on bringing high-tech solutions to the clay courts of Roland-Garros to bridge the gap between the physical event and remote viewers.
The extended deal ensures that the tournament will have a consistent technology partner for the next several years. This stability allows both organizations to develop long-term AI roadmaps rather than focusing on short-term tactical updates. The move reflects a broader trend in sports where data analytics and machine learning are used to personalize the viewer experience.
By extending the contract to 2031 [1], the organizers of the French Open are securing a pipeline of innovation to keep the event competitive in a digital-first media landscape. The partnership aims to transform the tennis ecosystem by making professional matches more accessible and data-rich for a worldwide audience [5].
“Infosys and Roland-Garros have extended their strategic partnership through 2031.”
This long-term commitment suggests that professional sports are moving away from simple broadcasting toward 'intelligent' viewing. By locking in a partnership through 2031, Roland-Garros is betting that AI will be the primary driver of fan growth and monetization, shifting the spectator experience from passive watching to active, data-driven interaction.
