Italian Open live stream 2020: how to watch Rome Masters ATP and WTA tennis today

Try ExpressVPN and get 3-months FREE with this deal (opens in new tab)
We've thoroughly tested all of the most popular VPNs and rate ExpressVPN as the best of what's out there. It's simple to install, boasts strong security features, and is compatible with just about any streaming device out there, including the Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox and PlayStation. You can also use it with Android and iOS mobile devices, so to get that home broadcast and stay safer online, this is our pick of the litter.

Best of all, ExpressVPN comes with a 30-day money back guarantee (opens in new tab) so you can try it out for a month for free, or sign up for an annual plan and get 3 months absolutely FREE. It really is the top option around, so check it out today.

The action generally begins at 5am ET/2am PT each day, and in the US, coverage from Rome is split between ESPN 2 (opens in new tab) and the Tennis Channel (opens in new tab). It's worth knowing that both of these are cable-based services, so in order to watch you'll need to have a subscription.

Or a good over-the-top streaming service that gives you access to the same channels for a fraction of the price!

Of the many and varied options, the best for tennis fans wanting to watch an Italian Open live stream is Sling TV, whose Sling Orange package (opens in new tab) features ESPN channels for just $30 a month. Throw in its Sports Extra add-on for an extra $10 a month to get the Tennis Channel and more - and you're done for just $40 p/m - much less than the competition and WAY less than cable.

Best of all, Sling offers a FREE trial period (opens in new tab) so you can get a free tennis live stream for some of the tournament and check out the service for yourself.

New or existing subscribers to US streaming services can still access the platform of their choice from abroad, too - all you need is the help of a good VPN. (opens in new tab)

Try Amazon Prime FREE for 30-days (opens in new tab)
Amazon has the rights to broadcast the Italian Open tennis in the UK, so Amazon Prime (opens in new tab) members can live stream all the action at no additional cost, with coverage starting at around 10am BST each day.

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.

New users can sign up for a FREE 30-day Amazon Prime trial (opens in new tab) with full access to live sports coverage as well as free one-day delivery on purchases from Amazon's online store during that time.

Not in the UK but still want to watch the tennis on your Prime account? Your best option is to download and install a VPN (opens in new tab) and then log in to a UK IP address.

In Canada, coverage of the Italian Open split between DAZN (opens in new tab), TSN (opens in new tab)and French-language RDS (opens in new tab), with action getting underway at around 5am ET/2am PT each day.

For DAZN, there's a 1-month FREE trial (opens in new tab) that will allow you to tune in without paying a penny! If you decide to keep DAZN, you'll pay $20 per month or an annual subscription of $150.

The dedicated DAZN app is available for iOS and Android phones and tablets, as well as Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Chromecast, Apple TV plus most modern Smart TVs.

If you get TSN and RDS as part of your cable deal, then you'll just be able to log in with the details of your provider and get access to an Italian Open live stream. If you don't have cable, then you can subscribe to TSN (opens in new tab) or RDS (opens in new tab) on a streaming-only basis from just CA$4.99 a day or (much better value) $19.99 a month.

Take your favorite streams with you wherever you go - just grab a quality VPN (opens in new tab) and follow the instructions above.

As in the US, ESPN (opens in new tab) has the rights to live stream ATP tennis in Australia and will be broadcasting the 2020 Italian Open via Foxtel. You can watch the action from 7pm AEST every day, while coverage of the WTA side of the event is being provided by beIN Sports.  (opens in new tab)

This is actually great news for cord cutters, as Aussie streaming service Kayo Sports includes both ESPN and BeIN Sports in its packages. A Kayo Sports Basic Package (opens in new tab) costs $25 per month and allows users to stream across two devices simultaneously, while a Kayo Sports Premium Package (opens in new tab) provides three concurrent streams for $35 per month.

Needless to say, this makes it super-affordable if you share with friends, family or fellow tennis fans - plus Kayo offers a FREE trial period (opens in new tab) so you can watch some of the event for free this September.

If you're away from Australia at the moment, you'll need to go down the VPN route (opens in new tab) as set out above.

In New Zealand, WTA coverage is provided by Spark Sport (opens in new tab), which costs $19.99 per month. But you're in luck, as there's a 7-day free trial.

The tennis action is scheduled to start at 9pm NZST each evening, and you can try Tennis TV (opens in new tab) to tune into the ATP side of the action.

If you're elsewhere in the world right now, using one of our best VPN recommendations should let you sign in to your account and stream just as you would if you were at home.
