SLAMWATCH

Where to watch tennis

Rights are split country by country and the smaller events often are not on television at all. This is how the coverage actually breaks down.

The short answer

No single service carries the whole season. The four majors are sold separately from the tour, the ATP and WTA sell their own streaming, and each country has its own broadcaster on top of that. Following one player through a season normally means two or three subscriptions.

Who carries what

When nothing else carries the match

Early rounds on the outside courts are the gap no subscription fills. Our betting partner streams them live to funded accounts, and which service you reach depends on where you are watching from.

Common questions

Can I watch all of a Grand Slam in one place?

Within one country, usually yes: the major sells its rights per territory, so one broadcaster carries the whole fortnight. Across countries the answer changes, and a subscription bought in one place is normally geo-locked to it.

Why are some matches not shown anywhere?

Producing a broadcast costs money per court. At the smaller events only the main courts are covered, so a first-round match on court nine may have no feed at all beyond live scoring.

What is Tennis TV?

The ATP Tour's own subscription service. It carries ATP tour-level events, but not the four majors, which sell their rights separately.

Is there a legal free option?

Sometimes. Public broadcasters in several countries carry the majors free to air, and bookmakers stream matches to funded accounts. Beyond that, free streams are usually unlicensed.
