The French Tennis Federation is now putting “FFT TV” online, the first 100% tennis digital video platform. This particularly innovative site is accessible free of charge on all connected media (computers, tablets and smartphones) at the address tv.fft.fr *. FFT TV wishes to meet the expectations of tennis enthusiasts and all players, whatever their age or level, with original broadcast concepts. In this period of confinement, tennis fans, failing to be able to practice their discipline in their club, will thus have the opportunity to have fun by finding many unpublished content but also archive images.

This site will offer content as rich as it is varied which will revolve around 5 major themes: at the heart of FFT clubs, tutorials to progress, the French teams, behind the scenes and the history of Roland-Garros and the live streaming of national or international competitions (live available as soon as the tournaments resume).

The clubs affiliated to the FFT, with which this platform was co-built, will be honored through reports that will promote their actions to their members. This content will offer in particular an immersion in affiliated clubs by going to meet the leaders, teachers and volunteers who will discuss the life of their club, their innovative initiatives and the challenges they have succeeded in meeting. Several programs are to be discovered: “Tennis Social Club”, “La petite Conf”, “Sur la route des Tournois” and “Débreak”.

FFT TV will also offer technical and tactical tutorials, which will support practitioners in their progress. Pauline Parmentier and Paul-Henri Mathieu will intervene in these sequences to deliver precious advice. Soon, physical and mental tutorials with Julien Benneteau will also enrich the platform.

This platform will also make it possible to closely follow the French teams (Davis Cup, Fed Cup, young people, padel, beach tennis, wheelchair tennis) with reports offering the public a look behind the scenes of gatherings and competitions. Users already have the opportunity to relive, for example, the last three Davis Cup and Fed Cup campaigns.

FFT TV will also give pride of place to Roland-Garros. The public will thus have access to legendary encounters, behind-the-scenes reports from the Grand Chelem Parisian or to interviews with former winners. In the coming weeks, summaries of matches of French players will also be available.

In addition, as soon as the competitions resume, the platform will offer every weekend the live broadcast of the semi-finals and finals of numerous national or international tennis competitions, padel, beach tennis and wheelchair tennis contested in France, in the youth and adult categories.

Finally, users have the opportunity to personalize the platform according to their desires by highlighting the programs they wish to favor.

Through this device, the FFT TV aims to promote and encourage, as soon as the health situation permits, the practice of tennis, padel and beach tennis. With this new platform, the FFT is innovating and pursuing its digital transformation by offering an innovative user experience and offering new and different content: programs for young people and their families, the retransmission of matches never shown on TV or on the web. or even subjects at the heart of regional tennis and club life.

* Access to the platform is free and users simply need to log in with their FFT credentials or create their account.
