The US Open Tennis 2022 starts on Monday, August 29, and will wrap up on September 11. You can find qualifying match results on the US Open website to see the lineup heading into the event. If you're not lucky enough to attend the games in person, here are plenty of streaming options to keep up on the matches. Whether you're streaming just for the finals or the entire event, there's a perfect option here.

When does the US Open start?

The 2022 US Open Tennis starts on August 29 at 11 a.m. ET. The Women's Final will begin at 4 p.m. ET on September 10, and the Men's Final—the last event of the tournament—will start at 4 p.m. ET on September 11. All evening events leading up to the finals begin at 7 p.m., but morning events start times vary, so keep an eye out for those. Check the US Open website for a full schedule.

How can I stream the US Open Tennis?

Streaming the US Open is simple if you're planning on watching from within the U.S. ESPN holds the broadcasting rights for the US Open and will be streaming it on ESPN and ESPN2 (They may broadcast some events on ESPN 3 and ESPN+). Most streaming services offer ESPN as part of their Live TV services, so plenty of options are available for those within the U.S.

If you're located outside the U.S., you won't be able to access ESPN this easily. Instead, you'll need to use a VPN to watch the US Open. VPNs are quick and easy to set up, especially if you use one of the best VPN apps for Android.

Take your time choosing a streaming service, as live services are more expensive than standard streaming subscriptions. For example, a regular Hulu monthly subscription costs $6.99, but its Live TV add-on costs $69.99. Many offer free trials but won't cover the entire US Open. To save money, start a free trial a few days into the tournament or switch services halfway through. It's a bit of a hassle, but it will save you money.

What services are streaming the US Open Tennis?

Most streaming services offer ESPN, but we recommend choosing those that offer free trials. However, if you want to watch the qualifying games and the main sessions, you may need to switch streaming services to watch the entire tournament for free. Just don't forget to cancel your subscription before your trial ends.

ESPN+

  • No free trial
  • $6.99/month

While ESPN+ doesn't offer a free trial, it's the cheapest option on this list. It's inflexible compared to the other services on this list as you won't get access to any other sports channels as part of your subscription, and ESPN will cover not all matches on ESPN+. If you have ESPN included by your TV provider, downloading the app will allow you to stream all the games on the go.

fuboTV

  • 7-day free trial
  • $70/month

fuboTV is a popular sports streaming service, but it's expensive. Its free trial also won't cover the entire US Open. However, if you time it carefully, you can catch the last seven days of the tournament, including the final, for free. It's also helpful to stream sports beyond the US Open.

YouTube TV

  • $65/month
  • 14-day free trial

YouTube TV offers a generous 14-day free trial, which is more than enough to stream the US Open. If you're only planning on watching the US Open, then there's no reason to pay the expensive $65/month subscription fee. However, you get access to many extra sports channels, so use your free trial to explore what it offers.

Sling TV

  • $25/month
  • No free trial

Sling TV offers a variety of streaming packages, and ESPN is available on its cheapest tier. At only $25/month, it gives you access to 31 channels, including ESPN. It doesn't offer a free trial, so only subscribe to Sling TV if you want access to the other channels. Remember that the subscription price increases to $35/month after your first month.

Hulu+ Live TV

  • $65/month
  • 7-day free trial

Existing Hulu subscribers will find the Hulu+ Live TV upgrade an attractive option. Its 7-day free trial will let you watch the latter half of the US Open, so if you don't want to keep your subscription, you can still catch the most exciting games for free.

DirectTV Stream

  • 7-day free trial
  • $69.99 per month

DirectTV is one of the most expensive options on our list, but its 7-day free trial will let you watch the US Open's finals for free. New subscribers will also receive $30 off their first two months, increasing the price to $54.99/month.

Easily stream the US Open

Whether upgrading an existing service or trying out something new, there are plenty of ways to stream the US Open. Once you've settled on a choice, you'll need a suitable streaming device to watch the tournament comfortably.
