In its annual presentation to the press and marketers (upfront), SBS has revealed a stack of new content from drama, to food to Sport.

But 2 events are directly of a particular interest for the sporting and French community

TENNIS

SBS adds a second tennis Grand Slam to its slate of premium international sport, securing the exclusive free-to-air rights to the French Open for the first time. Live from Stade Roland-Garros in Paris, France, SBS will follow the action every day throughout the 2018 tournament, beginning in late May, as the world's best male and female tennis players battle it out on clay courts. From the Quarter Finals stage through to the men's and women's Final, SBS will air the most thrilling tennis matches of the 2018 US Open. Played on hard courts in Queens, New York, the US Open is the final of the four annual tennis Grand Slams, wrapping up the year for the major tournaments.

CYCLING

SBS continues to bring Australians all the action from the biggest races on the international cycling calendar. The Tour de France returns with all stages live on TV and online, as well as grand tour La Vuelta a España, cycling classic Paris-Roubaix and others from the European season.
