Squash’s Most Ambitious Broadcast Production To Be Deployed at Comcast Business U.S. Open

SQUASHTV’s record number of cameras will include the sport’s first overhead cable camera

The 2025 Comcast Business U.S. Open Squash Championships will feature the most advanced TV broadcast in the sport’s history, according to tournament organizers. Ahead of the sport’s Olympic debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games, action from the 52nd edition of the prestigious tournament, Oct. 19-25 at Philadelphia’s Arlen Specter US Squash Center, will be captured by SQUASHTV with 18 cameras — the most used in a squash production since the broadcaster’s inception in 2010.

The 52nd U.S. Open Squash Championships will take place Oct. 19-25 at Philadelphia’s Arlen Specter US Squash Center.

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. Four manned super-slow-motion and gimbal cameras will provide cinematic coverage of the biggest moments from the tournament.

In addition, two replay cameras will be dedicated to covering the out-of-court lines for instant officiating reviews, part of a seven-camera increase over a regular SQUASHTV broadcast. To tell greater stories around the matches in real time, the broadcast will be enhanced with in-depth stats and analysis, including number of winning shots, errors, rally duration, shot count, and areas of strengths and weaknesses of the competing players.

SQUASHTV will deploy four manned super-slow-motion and gimbal cameras for the tournament.

Launched by the Professional Squash Association (PSA) in 2010 as its broadcasting arm, SQUASHTV is responsible for live production of hundreds of matches every year. The new production elements are intended to bring fans closer to the championship action than ever as stars including USA’s No.1 Olivia Weaver and Men’s World Champion Mostafa Asal compete for the crown.

“We’re excited to deliver the most ambitious broadcast in the history of the sport at the U.S. Open,” says PSA COO 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 where we want the sport to be as we look toward squash’s debut at the Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028, and we are grateful to Comcast Business for powering this enhanced broadcast coverage through their technology.”

The global broadcast feed will be delivered from Arlen Specter US Squash Center via Comcast Business advanced technology.

The TV-quality feed will be distributed to broadcasters across 89 countries, via Comcast Business’s advanced technology solutions built into the Arlen Specter US Squash Center in Philadelphia.
