Here’s the best way to live stream the 2018 US Open. Tennis fans can tune in from all corners of the world.
We’ve compiled this handy guide for watching the US Open on TV or by live stream online, no matter where you are in the world — you can even watch it for FREE in some areas.
We now know that the concluding Grand Slam match of the 2018 season will be Juan Martín del Potro vs Novak Djokovic in the men’s final. Both are former champs and both have their own comeback tale of sorts to finis off
And the pair really have something to live up to after the drama of Serena Williams vs Naomi Osaka on Saturday night. The unfancied latter became the first Japanese tennis Grand Slam winner in history, after a heated match where Serena found herself on the wrong end of three violations and lost in front of her home crowd.
It’s been a hot, sweaty, exhausting US Open 2018, and now we get to the serious business of the fortnight. The tennis world is focused on Flushing Meadows in New York for the fourth and final grand slam of the year
Whatever happens, it’s sure to be an exciting crescendo to the tournament so make sure you’re tuned into a live stream of the action by following one of the options below.
In the US, coverage from Flushing Meadows comes courtesy of ESPN and ESPN 2. The action kicks off at either 11am or 12pm ET (8am / 9am PT) and runs until it’s over for the day, typically around 11pm ET (8pm PT). Another option for cable customers is the Tennis Channel, which also has rights to the tournament.
For live streaming on the move, subscribers should watch via the ESPN app or WatchESPN.com .
Amazon Prime has pulled off a sports coverage coup by securing rights in the UK for the 2018 US Open tennis. That means Amazon Prime members can live stream all the action at no additional cost, with coverage starting at 4pm BST each day. There will also be a highlights available at 7am each morning reviewing the previous day’s action.
If you want to stream the tennis from your phone or tablet, the Amazon Prime Video app is available for Android via Google Play and Apple devices via the App Store.

Amazon Prime membership costs £79 per year or £7.99 per month, which can be cancelled at any time. The subscription will get you access to Amazon’s library of TV shows and films as well as unlimited one-day delivery on Amazon orders from the UK.
Not in the UK but still want to watch the tennis on your Prime account. Then you best option is to download and install a VPN and then log in to a UK IP address.
There’s some downright spectacular news Down Under, as free-to-air broadcaster SBS has picked up the rights to show the semi-finals and final absolutely FREE and in HD.
There’s also the option of using a VPN if you’re away from home and still want to catch that US Open coverage.
In Canada, it’s a similar deal as you’ve got fairly limited options. The US Open will be covered by TSN and RDS, but again, these are subscription services.
Using a VPN is the way to go if you want to access an account when you’re overseas.
In New Zealand you’re going to be able to catch all the action on Sky NZ, although again, this is a paid service.
If you want to catch it but are out of New Zealand over the fortnight, you can use a VPN to access the tennis coverage.
