The final Grand Slam of the year is almost over, and the race is on for the elusive title. We’ve rounded up everything you need to know about where to watch the US Open, including global live streaming options and a way to watch it for free as well.

Where to watch the US Open for free
The final of the US Open will live stream on 9Now in Australia. Viewers just need to create an account if they don’t already have one, and then they’re all set to start streaming. In the US, fans can catch some of the action at no cost by using a free trial of a live TV service, such as YouTube TV or Fubo.
How to watch the US Open from anywhere
Tennis fans who are away from the location where their desired streaming service works can still keep up with their viewing options (including the free ones) with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are handy tech tools that help people temporarily alter the virtual location on their electronic devices. They’re popular services among those looking to upgrade their cybersecurity and keep up with their usual websites and apps while traveling abroad.
Proton VPN is one of the best VPNs on the market. It’s user-friendly (even for beginners), includes several security perks, and offers a massive selection of global servers.
Proton VPN subscription
Need a low-cost VPN packed with useful features and servers in 130+ countries? All Proton plans support up to 10 devices at once and include a powerful ad blocker, split tunneling, and other security features. The open-source design, strong audit history, and Swiss headquarters check all the boxes for privacy and openness you’d want from a VPN, too.
Where to watch the US Open in the US
ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC will carry broadcast coverage in the United States. Matches that aren’t broadcast will be available as ESPN+ exclusives. The best way to catch all of the action is with an ESPN Unlimited subscription. At $32 a month, ESPN Unlimited unlocks full live streams from flagship ESPN channels (along with ESPN on ABC content) and streaming-exclusive ESPN+ programming.
ESPN Unlimited
ESPN Unlimited has everything from ESPN Plus, in addition to all that the ESPN linear networks have to offer, along with some exclusive events not found on broadcast channels.
ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2 are also available through live TV services, along with several other channels. These are great options if you’re looking for a month-to-month cable alternative or seeking out something with a free trial. Fubo and YouTube TV are two of our top recommendations right now.
Fubo offers ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2 in its Sports + News plan, which costs $65 a month and features around 30 channels. New users can get $10 off their first month after a free trial. These channels are also available in Fubo’s pricier Pro and Elite packages, which offer upward of 200 channels. All three of these plans also unlock ESPN Unlimited at no extra cost, so you’ll be able to catch those ESPN+ exclusive matches.
Fubo Sports + News
The new Fubo Sports + News pack is only available in select areas. It combines 20+ major sports channels (including the new ESPN Unlimited) and select local networks (ABC, CBS, and FOX).
YouTube TV also carries ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2 in both its Main plan and Sports plan. The Main plan costs $83 a month, but new users can get $15 a month off their first five months of service with a special deal. The Sports plan is also running a limited-time offer, which will discount the first six months of service from $65 a month down to $45 a month. New users can get a free trial of either plan.
YouTube TV Main Plan
YouTube TV’s main plan carries over 100 channels, ranging from local networks to cable favorites.
