If you’re looking to catch the best men’s tennis action in 2026, you’re not alone. The ATP Tour delivers high-stakes matches from Melbourne to Miami, Paris to London, and everything in between. But where can you actually watch it? The answer isn’t simple - it depends on where you live, what devices you use, and whether you’re okay with paying for access.
ATP Tennis Streaming Services by Region
The ATP doesn’t broadcast matches directly. Instead, it licenses rights to regional broadcasters and streaming platforms. That means your options change drastically depending on your country.
In the United States, the main home for ATP tennis is ESPN+. Nearly every ATP 250, 500, and 1000-level event streams live here, including the Miami Open and the US Open Series. You’ll also find replays, highlights, and full-match archives. ESPN+ costs $11.99 per month or $119.99 annually. If you already have a cable login, you can watch ATP matches on ESPN and ESPN2 through the ESPN app.
In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports Tennis is your go-to. It covers all Masters 1000 events, the ATP Finals, and most 500- and 250-level tournaments. You need a Sky Sports subscription, which usually comes as part of a broader Sky TV package. If you don’t want a long-term contract, you can get a monthly Sky Sports pass through NOW TV for £33.99.
Canada gets ATP coverage through TSN Direct and RDS for French-language fans. TSN streams every ATP match, including the Canadian Open in Toronto and Montreal. TSN Direct starts at $19.99 CAD per month.
In Australia, beIN SPORTS and Stan Sport carry most ATP events. Stan Sport is especially popular because it bundles ATP with Grand Slam coverage (like the Australian Open) for $10 AUD per month. You can also watch select matches on free-to-air Channel 9 during big tournaments.
For fans in Western Europe - think Germany, France, Spain, Italy - your best bets are beIN SPORTS (available in most countries), France Télévisions for French tournaments, and DAZN in Germany and Austria. DAZN offers ATP 1000 events and the ATP Finals for €10.99 per month.
ATP TV: The Official Streaming Platform
ATP TV is the league’s own streaming service. It’s not free, but it’s the most comprehensive option if you want every match from every tournament. For $11.99 USD per month, you get:
- Live streams of all ATP 250, 500, and 1000 events
- On-demand replays of every match
- Multiple camera angles and stats overlays
- Access on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and web browsers
ATP TV doesn’t include Grand Slam tournaments - those are handled separately by the four majors. But for everything else on the ATP calendar, it’s the most complete package. If you follow the tour closely and miss matches because of time zones, ATP TV’s archive feature is a game-changer.
Free Options? Yes, But Limited
You won’t find full ATP matches for free on YouTube or Twitch - the rights are too tightly controlled. But there are ways to catch free highlights and key moments.
The official ATP YouTube channel posts full match highlights, top 10 shots, and post-match interviews within hours of a match ending. You’ll see the best points from Djokovic, Alcaraz, and Medvedev without paying a cent.
Some tournaments offer free live streams of early-round matches on their official websites. The Miami Open, for example, used to stream first-round matches for free on its site in 2025. Always check the tournament’s official page before assuming you need a subscription.
Public libraries and community centers in some cities also offer free access to sports streaming services like ESPN+ or beIN SPORTS. Ask around - you might be surprised.
How to Watch on Your TV
Most people watch tennis on their big screens. Here’s how to get ATP matches on your TV, no matter what you own.
- Smart TVs: Download the ESPN+, DAZN, or ATP TV app directly from your TV’s app store. Most 2020+ models support these.
- Apple TV, Roku, Fire Stick: Install the app from the store, sign in with your subscription, and cast to your TV.
- Chromecast or AirPlay: Stream from your phone or laptop to your TV using Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay.
- Cable boxes: If you have ESPN or Sky Sports through cable, use your set-top box remote to navigate to the channel.
Pro tip: Use a universal remote app like Logitech Harmony or the Google Home app to control all your devices from one place. No more juggling five remotes during a three-hour match.
Mobile and Tablet Viewing
Watching ATP tennis on your phone is easy - and sometimes better than TV. The ATP TV app lets you watch up to four matches simultaneously on one screen. You can switch between courts without leaving the app.
Most streaming services have mobile apps with offline download options. If you’re traveling or on a flight, download a match before you leave. ESPN+ and ATP TV both allow downloads on iOS and Android.
Don’t forget to use headphones. The crowd noise and player grunts are part of the experience - and you won’t annoy anyone in the next room.
What’s Not Included
Not every match is covered everywhere. Here’s what to watch out for:
- Grand Slams: Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open are not part of ATP TV or standard ESPN/Sky deals. You need separate rights holders: ESPN (US), Eurosport (Europe), Kayo (Australia), etc.
- ATP Challenger Tour: The second-tier men’s circuit rarely streams live unless you’re in the host country. Some matches appear on Tennis Channel or YouTube, but coverage is spotty.
- Exhibition events: Laver Cup, Next Gen ATP Finals, and other non-ranking events are often on Amazon Prime Video or local broadcasters.
If you’re following a specific player, like Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz, check their team’s social media. They often post links to where their matches are streaming, especially if they’re playing in a smaller tournament with limited coverage.
Best Value for Money
Here’s the real question: which option gives you the most for your dollar?
If you only care about the biggest events - Miami, Madrid, Rome, Paris Masters, and the ATP Finals - then ESPN+ (US) or DAZN (Europe) is your best bet. Both cost under $12/month and cover 80% of what most fans want.
If you follow the entire tour - including the smaller tournaments in Acapulco, Doha, or Rotterdam - then ATP TV is worth the price. You’ll never miss a match, and the archive feature means you can watch them on your schedule.
For fans in the UK or Australia, bundling with a sports package (Sky or Stan) makes sense if you also watch cricket, rugby, or football. But if tennis is your only sport, pay only for what you need.
What’s New in 2026
This season, ATP TV launched a new feature: Match Replay AI. It automatically cuts 10-minute highlight reels from every match based on key moments - aces, break points, comebacks. You can also filter by player, shot type, or match duration.
Some broadcasters now offer multi-angle viewing - you can switch between baseline, net, and overhead cams during live play. It’s available on ATP TV, ESPN+, and DAZN.
And for the first time, select ATP 250 events are being streamed in 4K HDR on supported devices. If you have a 4K TV and fast internet, you’ll see the ball spin and sweat on the court like never before.
Final Tips
- Set up calendar alerts for match times. Time zones change across the tour - a match at 3 PM in Madrid is 9 AM in New York.
- Use a VPN if you’re traveling. If you subscribe to ATP TV in the US, you can still access it abroad - just connect to a US server.
- Check your internet speed. You need at least 10 Mbps for HD, 25 Mbps for 4K.
- Don’t rely on social media for live links. Many are illegal and get taken down mid-match.
- Try a free trial before committing. ESPN+, DAZN, and ATP TV all offer 7-day trials.
There’s no single answer to where you can watch ATP tennis - but there’s a perfect option for you. Know what you want, know where you are, and choose the service that matches your habits. The tennis doesn’t wait - and neither should you.
Can I watch ATP tennis for free?
You can’t watch full ATP matches for free legally, but you can see highlights and key moments on the official ATP YouTube channel. Some tournaments offer free live streams of early-round matches on their websites. Public libraries or community centers in some areas also provide free access to streaming services like ESPN+.
What’s the best service to watch ATP tennis in the US?
ESPN+ is the best option in the US. It streams every ATP 250, 500, and 1000 tournament live, including the Miami Open and US Open Series. You can also watch matches on ESPN and ESPN2 if you have a cable login. ESPN+ costs $11.99 per month or $119.99 annually.
Does ATP TV include Grand Slams?
No, ATP TV does not include Grand Slam tournaments. The Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open are broadcast by separate rights holders like ESPN (US), Eurosport (Europe), and Kayo (Australia). You need separate subscriptions for those events.
Can I watch ATP matches on my phone?
Yes, all major streaming services - ESPN+, ATP TV, DAZN, and Stan Sport - have mobile apps for iOS and Android. You can watch live matches, download them for offline viewing, and even switch between multiple courts using ATP TV’s multi-view feature.
Is 4K streaming available for ATP matches?
Yes, select ATP 250 and 500 tournaments are now streamed in 4K HDR in 2026. This is available on ATP TV, ESPN+, and DAZN if you have a compatible 4K TV and internet speed of at least 25 Mbps.
What’s the difference between ATP TV and ESPN+?
ATP TV is the official tour service and covers every ATP match from every tournament worldwide. ESPN+ covers most ATP events in the US but excludes some smaller 250-level events. ATP TV also offers multi-angle viewing and AI-generated highlights, while ESPN+ includes other sports like soccer and MLB.
Do I need a cable subscription to watch ATP tennis?
No. You don’t need cable. Services like ESPN+, ATP TV, DAZN, and Stan Sport are standalone streaming subscriptions. You only need a cable login if you want to access ESPN or Sky Sports through your existing provider - but you can skip cable entirely and subscribe directly.
Whether you’re catching the final of the ATP Finals in Turin or a quiet Tuesday night match in Rotterdam, the right service is out there. Just pick one, set up your device, and enjoy the best men’s tennis on earth.
