Over 800 matches-per-season will be produced by the company
The ATP Challenger Tour has turned to Two Circles as its live production partner.
The company will produce over 800 matches from 35 Challenger Tour events per-year from the tennis organisation, in a deal that runs until the end of 2027. These include every centre court match, and will follow a unified five-camera production model with graphics, replays, commentary and highlights, with global distribution managed through Two Circles’ Master Control Room.
This is an expansion of the agreement Two Circles signed with the ATP in 2023, with it also delivering host broadcast production for ATP 500 and ATP 250 events annually. In the UK, those events are shown by Sky Sports, while the Challenger Tour is available on D2C service Challenger TV. Globally, there are currently more than 10 broadcast partners worldwide for the ATP Challenger Tour across over 20 countries, including the Tennis Channel across the US and Europe.
Julia Boyadjieva, vice president, ATP Challenger Tour, said: “The ATP Challenger Tour is an essential platform for emerging tennis talent, and this partnership with Two Circles ensures a world-class broadcast experience for fans and broadcasters alike.”
Bernie Riedlsperger, managing director, live production, Two Circles, said: “We’re incredibly proud to deepen our relationship with the ATP and to become the official global live production partner for the Challenger Tour. Since 2023 we’ve built a relationship based on shared ambition and a commitment to raising broadcast standards.
“Bringing the ATP Challenger Tour fully under the Two Circles umbrella is a natural next step, enabling us to deliver the same quality and attention to detail we bring to ATP 250 and 500 events. Together with the ATP, we’re excited to showcase the next generation of tennis talent through a consistent, world-class live product for fans around the world.”
