The finals are up next, and we couldn't have asked for bigger matchups. First up on Saturday is Coco Gauff vs. Aryna Sabalenka, then on Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz takes on Jannik Sinner. Better yet, we can show you how to watch these French Open live streams for free from anywhere.
The two free options highlighted below will require a VPN to watch from outside their broadcast country, but we can show you how to do this further down the page.

How to watch the French Open from anywhere
Want to access those free options but aren't actually in France or Australia? You can still tune in with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are cybersecurity tools that enable you to change your electronic device's virtual location.
They're popular apps among those looking to access their usual websites and services while traveling abroad or upgrade their online security. ExpressVPN is a great place to start, thanks in no small part to its impressive security features and 30-day money-back guarantee.
So far, I've found France has the best selection of matches being broadcast, even getting involved with the doubles coverage. Some Australian coverage is limited to replays, but they'll get more live matches the deeper we get into the competition.
With its consistent performance, reliable security, and expansive global streaming features, ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there, excelling in every spec and offering many advanced features that make it exceptional. Better yet, you can save more than 60% right now and get up to four months free.
How to watch the French Open with a VPN
- Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.
- Install it on the device you're using to watch.
- Turn it on and set it to the location of your streaming service.
- Navigate to your streaming service, such as France.TV (France) or 9Now (Australia), and create an account if you don't already have one.
- Enjoy the tournament.
How to watch the French Open in the US
Instead of NBC and Peacock, US French Open coverage will air across TNT and truTV this year. American cord-cutters have a few options to explore when tuning in without cable. You can live stream the channels through a live TV streaming service like Sling TV or DirecTV, or try out Max. Select coverage will also be available through the Tennis Channel, but the bulk of the action will be on Warner Bros. properties.
TNT is available through both of Sling TV's base plans, Sling Orange and Blue, which carry anywhere from 35-40+ channels. Sling Orange also carries ESPN, while Sling Blue offers local channels in select regions. Subscriptions start at $46/month, but new users can get 50% off their first month. DirecTV also carries TNT and about 25 other key sports channels in its MySports pack. The package also includes automatic access to ESPN Plus. New users can try out the service for free for five days.
DirecTV's MySports pack carries popular sports channels, from mainstays like ESPN to niche offerings like the ACC Network.
For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you're looking for. It's more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members often get a chunky discount on their first month.
Max, formerly HBO Max (and soon to be HBO Max again), will live stream French Open matches through its B/R Sports Add-on. This add-on is only available with ad-free plans, which start at $17/month. For more bang for your buck, you can opt for one of the Disney Plus bundles. Ad-free Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max are available for $30/month.
How to watch the French Open in the UK
The streaming options also look a bit different for UK viewers this year. Instead of Eurosport, the TNT Sports coverage will be available to live stream through Discovery Plus. The Premium tier, which costs £31/month, is required to watch TNT. This option offers live streaming for several sports, including motorsport, Champions League, and UFC. Other than France and the UK, coverage remains on Eurosport for the rest of Europe.
How to watch the French Open in Australia
In Australia, the French Open will be available through 9Now. The start of the tournament should air live on 9's Gem channel, and viewers can live stream coverage for free through 9Now. Users just need to create a free account if they don't already have one, and then they're all set to start watching.
Coverage has been a bit thin compared to previous years, but they had the semis, and we can see live coverage on Gem's schedule for both finals this weekend. So if you want a free French Open live stream with English commentary, this is a great shout. It's a crisp 1080p broadcast, too.
How to watch the French Open in France
The French Open will be shown on France TV in France. The service has a free live streaming counterpart, France.TV, which just requires account creation to use.
This has been an excellent option throughout the entire tournament, showing all the best matches from a huge range of courts..
