How and when to watch the 2024 US Open tennis tournament
The 2024 US Open will be played from August 26, 2024 to September 8, 2024. Matches will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN, and streamed on Sling TV and the platforms presented below.
How and when to watch the 2024 US Open without cable
Although many cable packages include ABC and ESPN, it’s easy to watch the US Open if ESPN and ABC aren’t included in your cable tv subscriptionor if you don’t have cable at all. Your best options for watching are below. (Streaming options will require a internet service provider.)
Sling TV: The cheapest way to stream the US Open and sporting events this fall
If you don’t have cable TV that includes ABC and ESPN, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream the US Open and sporting events this fall is via a Sling TV subscription. We suggest upgrading to the Orange + Blue tier with Sports Extra to get access to all US Open games, as well as NFL and college football games broadcast on network television (minus those broadcast on CBS).
The Orange + Blue plan normally costs $60 per month, but the streamer is currently offering a $25 off promotion for your first month, so you’ll only pay $35. The Orange + Blue plan with Sports Extra costs $50 for your first month and $75 per month after that. (Note that your introductory offer may differ.) The Sports Extra add-on includes 18 channels, including the Tennis Channel, NFL Redzone, ESPNU, SEC Network, Big 10 Network, and ACC Network, making it ideal for fans of professional and college football.
The streamer is also currently offering deep discounts on four months of the Orange + Blue plan as well as the Sports Extra package when you prepay for the Sling TV season pass. The plan costs $219, down from $300.
Note: Since Sling TV does not carry CBS, Sling subscribers will need to add Paramount+ to their plan. (Paramount+ and CBS Essentials are both subsidiaries of Paramount Global.)
Main features of the Sling TV Orange + Blue package:
- Sling TV is our top choice for streaming major sporting events like NASCAR.
- There are 52 channels to watch in total, including local ESPN, NBC, Fox, and ABC affiliates (where available).
