Comcast Business US Open Squash Championships to feature ambitious broadcast production

October 16, 2025

The 2025 Comcast Business US Open Squash Championships will feature the most advanced TV broadcast in the sport’s history, with a suite of new production elements elevating the viewing experience for fans around the world and advancing the presentation of the sport in preparation for its Olympic debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
The action from the 52nd edition of the prestigious tournament will be captured by SQUASHTV at Philadelphia’s Arlen Specter US Squash Center (October 19th-25th), with 18 cameras – the most used in a squash broadcast since SQUASHTV’s inception in 2010 – bringing fans closer to the action than ever before as stars including USA’s No.1 Olivia Weaver and men’s World Champion Mostafa Asal compete for the crown.
For the first time in squash history, a cable camera will be installed over the showpiece glass court to provide unparalleled views of the competition, crowd, and venue, while four manned super slow-motion and gimbal cameras will provide cinematic coverage of the biggest moments from the tournament.
“We’re excited to deliver the most ambitious broadcast in the history of the sport at the US Open,” said PSA Chief Operating Officer Lee Beachill. “By expanding our camera coverage, production crew, and technical integrations, we’re providing fans with the most immersive SQUASHTV broadcast ever seen in the sport. This scale of production reflects our ambition for where we want the sport to be as we look towards squash’s debut at the Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 (LA28), and we are grateful to Comcast Business for powering this enhanced broadcast coverage through their cutting-edge connectivity and enterprise-grade technology solutions.”
In addition, two replay cameras will be dedicated to covering the out-of-court lines for instant officiating reviews, meaning an increase of seven cameras in comparison to a regular SQUASHTV broadcast. The broadcast presentation will be enhanced with in-depth stats and analysis to tell greater stories around the matches in real-time, including the number of winning shots, errors, rally duration, shot count, and areas of strengths and weaknesses of the competing players.
“Leveraging Comcast Business’ advanced technology with SQUASHTV’s latest innovations at this year’s U.S. Open is the ideal showcase for squash’s rapid growth and expansion,” said US Squash President & CEO Kevin Klipstein. “The Comcast Business US Open being streamed by NBC’s Peacock featuring SQUASHTV’s fullest production team ever is powering tremendous collaboration and excitement across squash organisations globally. We can’t wait to see where this leads the sport by the time squash has its Olympic debut at the Comcast Squash Center at Universal Studios in 2028.”
The global broadcast feed will be distributed to broadcasters across 89 countries, enabled by Comcast Business’s integrated technology infrastructure at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center, ensuring seamless, high-quality delivery to audiences worldwide.
“At Comcast Business, we’re proud to power the technology behind the most ambitious squash broadcast in history. Our advanced network solutions are enabling SQUASHTV to deliver an immersive, world-class viewing experience to fans across the globe,” said Eileen Diskin, CMO, Comcast Business. “Supporting the U.S. Open Squash Championships and the growth of professional squash reflects our commitment to innovation, community, and the future of sport.”
Lead presenter Michael Absalom and lead commentator Joey Barrington will be spearheading the team calling the action during one of the sport’s majors. They will be supported by a cast featuring former World Champion Vanessa Atkinson, Aisling Blake, Lisa Aitken, Nicole Bunyan and American stars Gilly Lane and Chris Gordon.
NBCUniversal’s streaming service, Peacock, will stream the semi-finals and finals live for the first time in the US between October 24th-25th.
