How to Watch Tennis Tournaments Live in 2025

If you love the buzz of a rally, the roar of a crowd, and the drama of a final set, you need a solid plan for catching tennis tournaments online. In 2025 the streaming scene is bigger than ever, but it can also feel confusing. Below you’ll get the straight‑forward rundown of where to stream the biggest events, how to avoid blackouts, and tricks to enjoy every point without breaking the bank.

Top Platforms for Live Tennis

Here’s the quick list of the main services that actually broadcast the four Grand Slams and most ATP/WTA matches:

• Amazon Prime Video (UK) – Holds exclusive rights to Wimbledon and the ATP Finals. You need a Prime membership, but the picture is 4K and there’s a handy “watch on repeat” feature.
• EuroSport Player – Streams the French Open (Roland Garros) live. It also offers a “highlights reel” that updates every 15 minutes, perfect for busy days.
• ESPN+ (US & Canada) – Covers the US Open and a lot of the ATP Tour. A $9.99 monthly fee gives you unlimited access, and you can pair it with a TV‑plus plan for extra sports channels.
• Viaplay (Nordics, Baltics) – Carries the Australian Open and a handful of WTA events. The app works on phones, tablets, and most smart TVs.
• Free-to-air channels – In the UK, BBC One still shows the highlight show of Wimbledon, while in the US, NBC provides a free live stream of the US Open opening round on the NBC Sports app.

Pick the service that matches the tournaments you care about most. If you’re chasing all four Slams, a combo of Prime Video and EuroSport Player will cover everything for about £15 a month.

Tips to Make the Most of Your Viewing

Check the schedule early. The ATP and WTA release the full draw a few weeks before each event. Mark the start times in your calendar and set a reminder an hour before the match you want.

Use a reliable internet connection. Aim for at least 5 Mbps for HD and 15 Mbps for 4K. If your Wi‑Fi is spotty, a wired Ethernet cable makes a huge difference.

Watch on the right device. A TV with a good sound system gives the stadium feel, but a tablet is great for side‑by‑side stats. Most streaming apps let you switch devices without losing your place.

Enable subtitles. Even if you don’t need them for language, subtitles can help you catch commentary nuggets about line calls or player injuries.

Skip the ads. Many platforms offer an ad‑free tier. If you’re paying for a subscription, you’ll usually get a clean stream. If you’re using a free service, consider a short ad‑blocker extension on your browser.

Finally, join the conversation. Social media feeds, Reddit threads, and the official tournament apps all have live chat and fan polls that make watching feel like you’re part of the crowd.

With the right platform, a stable connection, and a few viewing hacks, you’ll never miss a set, smash, or tiebreak again. Grab your favourite snack, settle into a comfy spot, and enjoy the tennis action – the court is just a click away.
