Given the quality of players we’ll see, people are excited about the upcoming US Open livestream. Djokovic, Sinner, and Swiatek are only some of the names worth mentioning.</p> <p>However, not all of us will be able to enjoy this fierce competition. Many tennis lovers can’t watch the US Open live online for a couple of reasons. Either it’s not broadcast in their country or there’s no free channel that streams the US Open tennis live.</p> <p>Paid channels, as you’ll see, are costly, so they’re not an option for many. Whatever your case is, there’s a solution. We’ll showcase a few free TV channels for US Open live streaming and see how to access them anywhere.

Where can you find it? At the moment, there are two channels you can use without paying – <strong>9Now and TVNZ</strong>. 9Now is an Australian channel, while TVNZ is a popular channel from New Zealand. As said, both are 100% free.</p> <p>The great thing about both is their ease of use. Both require a free account and after that, you’re free to watch anything you want. It’s also worth noting that both free channels stream the US Open live with English commentary and in Full HD, resulting in a quality experience.</p> <p>Now, the issue that plagues both is accessibility. In a recent guide about <a href="https://gizmodo.com/watch-australian-tv-abroad">watching Australian TV abroad</a>, we explained that SBS, 9Now, 10Play, and other channels are restricted to Australia. The same goes for TVNZ, which works only in New Zealand. So, what to do?!</p> <figure id="attachment_778" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-778" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-778" src="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/9Now-Error.jpg" alt="9now Error" width="831" height="444" srcset="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/9Now-Error.jpg 831w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/9Now-Error-300x160.jpg 300w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/9Now-Error-768x410.jpg 768w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/9Now-Error-680x363.jpg 680w" sizes="(max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 1279px) calc(100vw - 26rem), 896px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-778" class="wp-caption-text">漏 9Now</figcaption></figure> <p>If you’re outside Australia or New Zealand, you can resort to what we call trickery. This means using a VPN service to mask your original IP and replace it with a new one. An Australian IP would grant access to 9Now, while a NZ IP would permit access to TVNZ.</p> <h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="how-to-watch-the-us-open-live-on-a-free-channel"></span>How to Watch the US Open Live on a Free Channel?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>This brings us to the next step – watching the US Open 2024 live for free. If 9Now and TVNZ won’t work in your country, a quality VPN is a rational step. <strong>NordVPN is a choice many opt for</strong> given its fast speeds, servers in Australia and NZ, and powerful streaming abilities.</p> <p class="comp-p not-prose"><a class="comp-button" href="https://shop.gizmodo.com/go/136/" target="_self" rel="sponsored nofollow">Watch the US Open for Free With NordVPN</a></p> <p>NordVPN is an <a href="https://gizmodo.com/best-vpn/">excellent paid VPN</a>, which begs the question of how you’ll watch the US Open live for free. Well, the good news is that the VPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee. The free live stream of the US Open will start on the 26th of August and end on the 8th of September.</p> <p>Even if you watch qualifying rounds that start on the 19th of August, that’s roughly 20 or so days of tennis. With a <strong>30-day money-back guarantee</strong>, you can enjoy the entire Grand Slam and get a refund when it’s done. Here’s how to do it in practice:</p> <ol> <li>Subscribe to NordVPN. Opt for its on-sale 2-year plans for the <strong>best savings</strong>. Alternatively, a monthly plan will also work and is fully refundable.</li> <li>Set up NordVPN. You can do this on any device, as it supports 10 concurrent connections.</li> <li>Open NordVPN’s app and connect to a server in Australia or New Zealand. This depends on which free TV channel for watching the US Open you want.</li> <li>Go to the desired free channel and register an account.</li> <li>Once the Grand Slam starts, sit back and start watching.</li> </ol> <p>Keep in mind that you can also use this trick to <a href="https://gizmodo.com/best-vpn/watch-australian-open-live-stream">watch the Australian Open for free</a>.</p> <figure id="attachment_782" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-782" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-782" src="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/NordVPN-9Now-Working.jpg" alt="Nordvpn 9now Working" width="1800" height="951" srcset="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/NordVPN-9Now-Working.jpg 1800w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/NordVPN-9Now-Working-300x159.jpg 300w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/NordVPN-9Now-Working-1024x541.jpg 1024w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/NordVPN-9Now-Working-768x406.jpg 768w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/NordVPN-9Now-Working-680x359.jpg 680w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/NordVPN-9Now-Working-896x473.jpg 896w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/05/NordVPN-9Now-Working-1792x947.jpg 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 1279px) calc(100vw - 26rem), 896px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-782" class="wp-caption-text">漏 9Now</figcaption></figure> <h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="other-channels-for-watching-the-us-open-tennis-live"></span>Other Channels for Watching the US Open Tennis Live<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>We hope the guide above has scratched your itch for high-quality tennis. However, if you want more options to watch the US Open 2024 live, you have plenty. In this section, we’ll discuss paid channels to see where they’re available and more importantly, how much they’ll cost you.</p> <h3>Watching the US Open Live in the USA</h3> <p>The great thing about the United States is its content accessibility. You can access TONS of sports, movies, series, shows, and whatnot. Unbeknownst to people abroad, it all costs money. So, there’s no free channel that streams the US Open live in this country.</p> <p>Instead, you can rely on the following platforms:</p> <ul> <li><strong>YouTube TV</strong>. A phenomenal option for Full HD US Open live streaming that costs <strong>$73</strong> a month.</li> <li><strong>fuboTV</strong>. Another Full HD broadcaster that offers access to channels like ESPN 2, ABC, and others. It costs a whopping <strong>$80</strong> a month!</li> <li><strong>DirecTV Stream</strong>. This one offers the same level of quality with English commentary at roughly <strong>$85</strong> a month.</li> <li><strong>Hulu + Live TV</strong>. Another state-of-the-art entertainment package that offers full access to the US Open stream. However, at <strong>$77</strong> a month, its value is questionable.</li> <li><strong>Sling TV</strong>. Its TV channel packages are awesome for accessing sports and other entertainment channels easily. The price kicks off at way over <strong>$30</strong> a month.</li> <li><strong>ESPN+</strong>. <a href="https://gizmodo.com/best-vpn/espn-plus">ESPN Plus is an affordable option that you can access anywhere with a VPN</a> at around <strong>$11</strong> a month. It grants access to the US Open tennis livestream but offers no money-back guarantee or a trial.</li> </ul> <p class="comp-p not-prose"><a class="comp-button" href="https://shop.gizmodo.com/go/136/" target="_self" rel="sponsored nofollow">Watch the US Open in the US With NordVPN</a></p> <p>All six options are limited to the USA, so bear that in mind. Using these channels abroad will be impossible unless you connect to a VPN server in America.</p> <h3>Streaming the US Open Tennis in Canada</h3> <p>Canadians don’t have many options. While <a href="https://gizmodo.com/best-vpn/super-bowl-live-stream">CTV will broadcast the Super Bowl for free</a>, according to our research, the free US Open live stream won’t be there. That’s bad news for people who don’t want to pay for <strong>TSN+</strong>, which will broadcast this tennis spectacle.</p> <figure id="attachment_2000487860" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2000487860" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2000487860" src="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/TSN-Price.jpg" alt="Tsn+ Price" width="1100" height="354" srcset="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/TSN-Price.jpg 1100w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/TSN-Price-300x97.jpg 300w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/TSN-Price-1024x330.jpg 1024w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/TSN-Price-768x247.jpg 768w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/TSN-Price-680x219.jpg 680w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/TSN-Price-896x288.jpg 896w" sizes="(max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 1279px) calc(100vw - 26rem), 896px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-2000487860" class="wp-caption-text">漏 TSN+</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>TSN+ costs around $CAD8</strong> a month, which isn’t a big sum of money. An especially attractive offer was a one-day pass at $CAD11, which, as the name implies, was for one day only. Sadly, this offer is now unavailable and you can pay only monthly or annually.</p> <p>TSN+ requires a Canadian IP address, so you must be in this country or use a VPN abroad.</p> <h3>Watching the US Open Broadcast in the UK</h3> <p>The UK is a great country that values sports more than you’d expect. Their BBC iPlayer platform <a href="https://gizmodo.com/watch-wimbledon-live-stream">lets you watch Wimbledon live</a> but not the US Open. Instead, you have to rely on <strong>Sky Sports</strong>. Sky Sports is respectable if you want access to dozens of sports live.</p> <figure id="attachment_2000487862" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2000487862" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-2000487862" src="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/Sky-Sports-Price.jpg" alt="Sky Sports Price" width="1006" height="346" srcset="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/Sky-Sports-Price.jpg 1006w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/Sky-Sports-Price-300x103.jpg 300w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/Sky-Sports-Price-768x264.jpg 768w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/Sky-Sports-Price-680x234.jpg 680w, https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/08/Sky-Sports-Price-896x308.jpg 896w" sizes="(max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 1279px) calc(100vw - 26rem), 896px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-2000487862" class="wp-caption-text">漏 Sky Sports</figcaption></figure> <p>However, the price of around <strong>拢22 a month</strong> is far more expensive than a VPN, let’s say. On top of that, Sky Sports is non-refundable, so after the Grand Slam is done, you can just cancel your plan but not get your hard-earned 拢22 back. Sky Sports also works in Ireland.</p> <p class="comp-p not-prose"><a class="comp-button" href="https://shop.gizmodo.com/go/136/" target="_self" rel="sponsored nofollow">Unblock Sky Sports With NordVPN</a></p> <p>If you have a subscription already, great – go ahead and enjoy the US Open livestream. If not, beware that you need a payment method from the UK or Ireland to subscribe. Plus, if you’re overseas, you’ll need a VPN to <a href="https://gizmodo.com/watch-sky-sports-usa">access Sky Sports outside the UK</a>, which adds more complications.</p> <h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="how-to-watch-the-us-open-for-free-on-different-devices"></span>How to Watch the US Open for Free on Different Devices?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>The magic of the presented workaround is its flexibility, which means you can use any device. We’ll explain how to enjoy US Open live streaming for free on different platforms. You’ll see it’s almost identical to our guide above.</p> <h3>iOS/Android</h3> <p>Are you often flying around or spending very little time at home? No worries, you can still stream the US Open tennis live for free in a few steps:</p> <ul> <li>Subscribe to a VPN service. If you haven’t already, get NordVPN – it’s the best option.</li> <li>Go to your respective app store and download the VPN app (the Apple App Store or Google Play).</li> <li>Open the VPN app and sign in with your email and password.</li> <li>Connect to a server in Australia for 9Now or New Zealand for TVNZ.</li> <li>Go to the channel’s site or use its app (<strong>9Now has the app for iOS and Android</strong>) to watch the US Open live for free.</li> </ul> <h3>Windows/macOS</h3> <p>Windows and macOS users won’t have to go through hoops to access this event. Here are the required steps for computer users:</p> <ul> <li>Get a VPN subscription.</li> <li>Download the VPN setup file to your computer.</li> <li>Open the setup file and install the VPN according to the on-screen steps.</li> <li>Launch the app and sign in.</li> <li>Connect to a server in Australia or New Zealand.</li> <li>Go to the free channel you want, sign in, and watch it.</li> </ul> <h3>Android Smart TV</h3> <p>Smart TV users who use an <a href="https://gizmodo.com/best-vpn/android-tv">Android TV</a> will have a far easier time. Those with Samsung or LG Smart TVs will need to use Smart DNS or connect to a VPN via a router. If you’re the former, the steps to streaming the US Open for free online are:</p> <ul> <li>Obtain your VPN subscription.</li> <li>Go to Google Play and install the VPN app.</li> <li>Boot up the app and log in.</li> <li>Get an Australian or NZ IP address.</li> <li>Watch the Grand Slam from start to finish uninterruptedly.</li> </ul> <h3>Firestick TV & Apple TV</h3> <p>Firestick TV and Apple TV users can also stream the US Open 2024 live for free with a VPN. NordVPN, in particular, has native clients for both platforms, ensuring a smooth experience from start to end. Here’s how to set it up and enjoy the last Grand Slam of the year:</p> <ul> <li>Get a subscription from NordVPN (<a href="https://gizmodo.com/best-vpn/expressvpn">ExpressVPN</a> is also a great alternative).</li> <li>Go to your respective app store and install the VPN app. Firestick users will go to the Amazon Store, while Apple TV users will go to the Apple App Store.</li> <li>Open the VPN and connect to a server in Australia (9Now) or New Zealand (TVNZ).</li> <li>Visit the respective free channel and watch the US Open tennis.</li> </ul> <h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="can-i-stream-the-us-open-live-with-a-free-vpn"></span>Can I Stream the US Open Live With a Free VPN?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>You can’t – otherwise, we’d use a free VPN instead. Australian and New Zealand servers are rarely if ever found in free providers. If you stumble upon a VPN that offers them, such as TunnelBear, you’ll find limited bandwidth that won’t allow you to watch the entire event.</p> <p>For example, TunnelBear is 100% free but <strong>limits you to 2 GB of monthly bandwidth</strong>. Proton VPN, <a href="https://gizmodo.com/best-vpn/free">often referred to as the best free VPN provider</a>, has unlimited bandwidth but no servers in Australia. Free providers also lack streaming optimization. This is a big flaw for this cause.</p> <p class="comp-p not-prose"><a class="comp-button" href="https://shop.gizmodo.com/go/136/" target="_self" rel="sponsored nofollow">Try NordVPN Risk-Free for 30 Days</a></p> <p>Without the ability to unblock streaming sites, watching the US Open live stream on a free channel is impossible. Not to mention slow speeds and finicky connections that will <strong>make</strong> <strong>the streaming experience far from joyful</strong>. Using free providers makes no sense either way.</p> <p>We explained that NordVPN can be free for 30 days if you get a refund. Given the US Open’s length of 20 or so days, you have ample time to request a refund and get all your money back. Therefore, we see no need for a free VPN that, above all, won’t function properly.</p> <h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="the-us-open-tennis-2024-schedule"></span>The US Open Tennis 2024 Schedule<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>If you want to stay in touch with the tournament and catch as many matches as you can, you must be acquainted with the US Open schedule. On its official site, you’ll see that the tournament starts on the 26th of August. However, qualifiers start on the 19th of August.</p> <p>This year’s last Grand Slam ends on the 8th of September when we’ll witness the long-awaited Men’s Final. Either way, the full schedule is below, so take a look:</p> <ul> <li>19th to 22nd of August – qualifying matches</li> <li>26th to 27th of August – men’s and women’s singles 1st round</li> <li>28th to 29th of August – men’s and women’s singles 2nd round, men’s and women’s doubles 1st round</li> <li>30th to 31st of August – men’s and women’s singles 3rd round, men’s and women’s doubles 2nd round</li> <li>1st to 2nd of September – men’s and women’s round of 16, men’s and women’s doubles 3rd round</li> <li>3rd of September – men’s and women’s singles quarterfinals, men’s and women’s doubles quarterfinals, mixed doubles quarterfinals</li> <li>4th of September – women’s doubles quarterfinals and semifinals, mixed doubles semifinals, men’s and women’s quarterfinals</li> <li>5th of September – mixed doubles final (or women’s doubles final), men’s doubles semifinals, women’s semifinals</li> <li>6th of September – women’s doubles final (or mixed doubles final), men’s semifinals</li> <li>7th of September – men’s doubles final, women’s final</li> <li>8th of September – men’s final</li> </ul> <h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="conclusion"></span>Conclusion<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>Tennis fans rejoice in every Grand Slam as a true test of might for both male and female players. Watching the most resilient, top-of-the-line players perform at their peak is a joy. With the solution we presented, watching the US Open 2024 live for free will be easy.</p> <p>Get a risk-free provider like NordVPN, connect to a server in Australia or New Zealand, and enjoy the free <a href="https://gizmodo.com/watch-9now-abroad">broadcast on 9Now</a> or TVNZ. Alternatively, you can use the paid channels presented above if you have excess money to spend.
