Roland-Garros 2025 arrives on Place de la Concorde (and it’s free!)
It’s a first for France’s most legendary clay-court tournament: Roland-Garros is going beyond its walls. From June 4 to 9, 2025, a free fan zone will be set up in the heart of Paris, on the Place de la Concorde. The official announcement was made on April 17 by tournament director Amélie Mauresmo, who is determined to make the event more accessible, festive… and central.
A legendary tournament, a new urban scene
Every year, the French Open brings tennis fans together in the hushed confines of Porte d’Auteuil. But faced with ultra-competitive ticketing, many fans follow the matches from their living rooms. This time, the “Tribune Concorde” offers them an exciting alternative: experience the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals in a collective atmosphere, and in front of two giant screens installed in the heart of the city.

The Roland-Garros 2025 fan zone will be able to accommodate up to 5,000 people, over an area of more than 5,000 m². An impressive configuration, in a unique heritage setting that promises an attractive contrast between urban ambience, sporting emotion and Parisian elegance.
A program designed to vibrate live
But there’s much more to this new space than just watching the matches. On site, visitors will find food-trucks, a bar, a Roland-Garros boutique, and even DJ sets during the day to punctuate the wait between matches. The aim is to create a festive and popular atmosphere, in the spirit of the great summer competitions.
On June 9, the day after the men’s final, the fan zone could even welcome the tournament winners, trophy in hand, for a moment of communion with the Parisian public. A first-of-its-kind initiative that places Concorde at the heart of the Grand Slam.
Roland-Garros is open to all this year, transforming Paris into a giant playground. Whether you’re a tennis enthusiast or just a fan of the sporting atmosphere, this new event promises to be a unifying and accessible experience.
