ATP Media and IMG Replay extend archive deal

ATP Media and IMG Replay have extended their partnership to manage and license the video archive for the ATP Tour Archive until 31 December 2025.

ATP Media, the global sales, broadcast, media, and distribution arm of the ATP Tour, has made a long-term investment in the ATP Tour Archive which has seen the creation of a fully searchable and downloadable digital destination to preserve the heritage of the ATP Tour, serve ATP Media’s media partners and commercialise via the partnership with IMG Replay.

The agreement will include archive footage from as far back as 1990, largely from the ATP Masters 1000 and Nitto ATP Finals, as well as content from the ATP 500 and ATP 250 events and Next Gen ATP Finals.

In total, IMG’s digital archive platform, IMGReplay.com, has access to more than 5,000 hours of ATP Tour content.

We’re delighted to continue our global partnership with ATP Media so that storytellers can have unbeatable access to the sporting moments that matter via IMG Replay.”
