Australian Open 2024: How to watch Qinwen Zheng vs. Aryna Sabalenka in the finals tonight

On top of airing on ESPN, this year’s Australian Grand Slam will stream live on ESPN+, so if you don’t want to pay for a pricey cable or streaming package that includes ESPN, this is a budget-friendly alternative. An ESPN+ subscription grants you access to exclusive ESPN+ content including live events such as UFC Fight Night and F1 races, fantasy sports tools and premium ESPN+ articles. You can stream ESPN+ through an app on your smart TV, phone, tablet, computer and on ESPN.com.

Starting at just $26 for your first month, Sling TV’s Orange + Sports Extra add-on package offers the Tennis Channel, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3, as well as NBA TV, NHL Network and more. While Sling Orange doesn’t include access to your local ABC affiliate, a TV antenna may help fill that gap for you. A Sling subscription also includes 50 hours of free DVR storage, so if you’re worried about missing any of the Grand Slam action, you can always record your games.

Hulu’s live TV tier includes access to live TV channels, ESPN+ and ad-supported Disney+, meaning you can watch the Australian Open across almost every channel airing coverage in the US, plus tune in via ESPN+ — and enjoy over 75 other channels. You’ll also enjoy access to unlimited DVR storage.

Fubo TV’s Elite tier gives you access to the Tennis Channel and ESPN, plus ABC, NBC, ESPN2, CBS, NBA TV, Ion and 200+ more live channels. At $85 per month, the live TV streaming service is the priciest option on this list, but it still leaves you with major savings compared with a traditional cable package. Fubo subscribers also get 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage. The platform offers a free trial.

ExpressVPN offers “internet without borders,” meaning you can tune into Australian Open matches totally free on 9Now, Channel 9’s streaming platform, as opposed to paying for ESPN or ESPN+ for US coverage of the tennis tournament. All you’ll need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your server location to Australia, and tune into 9Now’s live streaming coverage of every match in full HD.

ExpressVPN’s added protection, speed and range of location options make it an excellent choice for first-time VPN users looking to stretch their streaming abilities. The service has servers in 94 countries including Australia, and it’s easy to use with an app available on all major devices including iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, Apple smart TVs and Amazon Fire streaming sticks. Plus, it’s Engadget’s top pick for the best streaming VPN. New users can save 49% when they sign up for ExpressVPN’s 12-month subscription. Plus, the service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee in case you’re nervous about trying a VPN for the first time.
