Watch the 2024 US Open as the world’s best players descend on Flushing Meadows in the final Grand Slam tournament of the year. Below we have all the information on how to watch US Open tennis from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

Aryna Sabalenka put the disappointment of last year's final behind her as she held off a spirited fight back from home hope Jessica Pegula to win the U.S. Open title for the first time. The second seed clinched a 7-5 7-5 victory to win a third Grand Slam and claim a staggering $3.6m in prize money.

Today attention turns to the men's singles where there is another chance for an American to triumph as Taylor Fritz has reached a Grand Slam final for the very first time. The 12th seed will have the crowd on his side but will face a huge test as he faces world No. 1 Jannik Sinner who won his maiden major title on hard courts earlier this year at the Australian Open. 

Here's where to watch 2024 US Open live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.

How to watch US Open 2024 live streams in the US

The US Open live streams will be shown on ESPN in the States. 

ESPN's streaming service is set to host live streams of every match across all the courts, so it'll let you watch as much of the action as possible.

ESPN Plus currently costs $10.99 per month (soon to increase in October), though many choose to subscribe via the Disney Bundle which combines it with Disney Plus and Hulu for a reduced price.

If you don't want to sign up for a streaming service in order to watch the US Open, then there are two cable channels that will show coverage from the event: ESPN2 and ESPNEWS will provide "daily live TV coverage" according to the US Open website.

If your cable plan doesn't include ESPN2 and ESPNEWS. then a few live TV streaming services offer them: DirecTV StreamSling Orange and Fubo have both while YouTube TV has ESPN2 and Hulu with Live TV has ESPNNEWs.

How to watch US Open 2024 live streams in the UK and Europe

While many public and national TV broadcasters have the TV and live stream rights to the US Open 2024 in Europe, in the UK it is Sky Sports which holds the broadcasting rights to the tennis event. 

You'll be able to watch coverage via its online platform or its premium live TV channels. If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. 

Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, as long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £14/month for the TV, plus a Sky sub on top of that.

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £14.99 or month-long access for £34.99.
