Tennis Channel will exclusively broadcast the 2026 International Tennis Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which will honour 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer alongside journalist and former professional player Mary Carillo. The ceremony marks a significant milestone in Federer's post-retirement career, cementing his legacy as one of the sport's greatest players, and gives Tennis Channel exclusive coverage of a major moment in tennis history.

The event will take place at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island, airing live on 29 August at 6:30pm ET, with a pre-show from 6pm ET featuring Hall of Famer Martina Navratilova.
