The ATP Challenger Tour Expands Production Partnership with Two Circles

Growing tennis viewership doesn’t just start and stop at the pro tour level. The Challenger Tour offers top quality tennis with the best up-and-coming players in the world that fans want to see. 

To bring fans these tournaments, the ATP Challenger Tour has expanded its partnership with Two Circles, an international sports and entertainment production agency, who becomes the official global live television production partner for the ATP Challenger Tour from 2026 through 2027.

Under the multi-year agreement, Two Circles will produce live coverage of more than 35 Challenger Tour events worldwide each season, delivering over 800 matches annually, including every centre-court match. All events will follow a unified five-camera production model with graphics, replays, commentary and highlights, with global distribution managed through Two Circles’ Master Control Room (MCR). 

This announcement marks an expansion of the partnership, which began in 2023. Over the past three years, Two Circles has been the partner across ATP’s global tennis portfolio, delivering broadcast production for ATP 500 and ATP 250 events.  

“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,” said Julia Boyadjieva, Vice President, ATP Challenger Tour.

“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,” Bernie Riedlsperger, Managing Director, Live Production, Two Circles. “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.” 

Partnerships in the production space are vital to growing tennis with fans across the world looking for a more consistent global feed that elevates storytelling and improves their experience. In this golden era of sports viewing, fans are constantly seeking out new ways to watch their favorite sports and this partnership is a great next step for the tennis-viewing experience.
