Miami Open 2026: Commentators announced amid ongoing rain disruptions

Amid heavy rain delays at the Miami Open 2026, organizers have unveiled a star-studded broadcast team featuring tennis legends Martina Navratilova, Lindsay Davenport, and Jim Courier. The tournament, already impacted by wiped-out qualifying on March 15 and further suspensions, continues its jammed schedule at Hard Rock Stadium.

Coverage of the Masters 1000 event airs on Tennis Channel and Tennis Channel 2 in the US, with streaming available on Fubo, DirecTV, and Hulu + Live TV. Day sessions start at 11 AM ET, night sessions at 7 PM ET.

Anchors include former World No. 7 Danielle Collins, former World No. 5 Jimmy Arias, Steve Weissman, Chris Eubanks, Prakash Amritraj, and Dani Klupenger, with Collins also on the on-site analyst desk.

On-site match announcers feature Hall of Famers Martina Navratilova, Lindsay Davenport, and Jim Courier, alongside Chanda Rubin (former World No. 6), Brett Haber, Jimmy Arias, and Mark Petchey.

Rain has plagued the event: All 48 qualifying matches on March 15 were canceled across ten courts. March 16's final two qualifiers were suspended, with postponed matches rescheduled alongside the main draw from March 17. Outer courts lack roofs, exacerbating delays. By March 21 (day 5), first-round matches spilled into the morning as the second round lagged. On March 20, Matteo Arnaldi vs. Alexander Shevchenko (Round of 128) paused at 7-6(5), 5-5 on court 4 due to poor lighting and resumed the next day, with Shevchenko winning in three sets. More rain and thunderstorms are forecast for week two.
