Where to Watch ATP Tennis Live Online and on TV in 2025

If you’re wondering where to watch ATP tennis right now, you’re not alone. Every week during the season, fans scramble to find the right channel or streaming service to catch their favorite players-Nadal, Djokovic, Alcaraz, or the rising stars-on court. The good news? There are plenty of ways to watch ATP tennis in 2025, whether you’re at home, on the go, or traveling abroad. The trick is knowing which options actually work for you and your location.

ATP Tennis Broadcast Rights in 2025

ATP tennis isn’t shown on just one network worldwide. Broadcast rights are split by country and region. That means what you can watch in the U.S. might be totally different from what’s available in Australia or Germany. The ATP itself doesn’t run a global TV channel. Instead, it licenses matches to local broadcasters who then decide how and where to show them.

In the United States, ESPN is still the main home for ATP coverage. Almost every Masters 1000 event, the ATP Finals, and most 500 and 250 tournaments air on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPN+. You’ll need a cable login or a streaming service like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or Sling Orange to access them. If you’re only interested in the biggest matches, ESPN+ has exclusive streaming of select ATP 250 events and qualifying rounds.

In the UK and Ireland, Amazon Prime Video holds the exclusive rights to ATP Tour matches. That includes the Masters 1000s, the ATP Finals, and most of the smaller tournaments. You don’t need a traditional TV package-just a Prime membership. Matches are streamed live, and you can watch on your phone, tablet, smart TV, or computer. If you’re in Dublin, like many others here, Prime Video is your go-to.

Across Europe, beIN SPORTS covers a wide range of ATP events, especially in France, Spain, and the Middle East. In Germany and Austria, DAZN streams most ATP tournaments. In Italy, Sky Sport has full coverage. Each service has its own app, and most let you watch on multiple devices at once.

Where to Watch ATP Tennis on Mobile and Streaming Devices

You don’t need a big TV to follow ATP tennis. Most official broadcasters now offer apps that work on smartphones, tablets, and streaming boxes like Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire Stick.

• ESPN App (U.S. only) - Log in with your cable provider or subscribe to ESPN+ for $11.99/month. Includes live matches, highlights, and replays.
• Amazon Prime Video App (UK, Ireland, Germany, Japan) - No extra cost if you have Prime. Just search for "ATP" in the app and tap "Live".
• DAZN App (Germany, Austria, Canada, Italy) - Starts at €10.99/month. Offers full tournaments with no ads during live play.
• beIN SPORTS Connect (France, Spain, Middle East) - Requires a subscription, but includes live streams and on-demand replays.

Most of these apps also let you download matches to watch offline. That’s handy if you’re on a flight or in an area with spotty internet.

Free Options? Yes, But With Limits

There are a few free ways to watch ATP tennis, but they’re limited. Some tournaments offer free live streams for the first round or finals on their official websites. For example, the Barcelona Open and Stuttgart Open often stream their weekend matches for free on YouTube or their own site.

Also, YouTube channels like ATP Tennis and Tennis TV post full match highlights, extended point replays, and classic matches. But these aren’t live. If you want to see a match as it happens, you’ll need a paid service.

Some fans use free live streams from unofficial sites. But these are risky. They’re often full of pop-ups, malware, or broken links. And in many countries, watching unlicensed streams is against the law. Stick to official sources to avoid trouble.

ATP Tennis on TV vs. Streaming: What’s Better?

TV channels like ESPN or Sky Sport give you a traditional viewing experience-commentators, pre-match analysis, and no buffering. But you’re locked into their schedule. If a match runs late, you might miss the next one.

Streaming services give you control. You can pause, rewind, or switch devices. You can watch on your laptop while commuting or on your tablet in bed. Many streamers also offer multiple camera angles, stats overlays, and audio-only feeds. If you’re serious about following the game, streaming gives you more depth.

For casual fans, TV is fine. For fans who track stats, follow specific players, or want to watch matches that don’t air on TV, streaming is the way to go.

What About ATP Finals and Grand Slams?

Don’t confuse ATP tournaments with Grand Slams. The four majors-Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open-are run by the ITF, not the ATP. They have their own broadcast deals.

The ATP Finals, however, is the year-end championship for the top 8 singles players and top 8 doubles teams. It’s owned by the ATP and broadcast by the same partners as the rest of the tour. In 2025, it’s being held in Turin, Italy. In the U.S., it’s on ESPN. In the UK and Ireland, it’s on Prime Video. In Germany, it’s on DAZN. You won’t find it on free-to-air TV unless you’re in Italy.

International Travelers: What to Do When You’re Abroad

If you’re traveling and want to keep watching ATP tennis, geo-restrictions can be a headache. A UK Prime Video subscription won’t work if you’re in the U.S., and vice versa.

One solution is using a VPN. A good one lets you connect to a server in your home country, so your streaming service thinks you’re still there. Services like ExpressVPN or NordVPN work reliably with Prime Video and ESPN+. Just make sure your subscription allows it-some services block VPNs.

Another option is checking local broadcasters. Many countries have their own ATP partners. If you’re in Japan, look for TNT Sports. In Canada, DAZN covers most ATP events. Always search for "ATP [country name] broadcast" when you land.

What’s New in 2025?

This year, the ATP launched a new global streaming hub called ATP Live. It’s not a standalone app, but a unified portal on the ATP website that shows you which broadcaster is streaming the match in your country. Just enter your location, pick the tournament, and it tells you exactly where to watch.

Also, more tournaments are offering live stats and in-match analytics through their apps. You can now see serve speed, rally length, and win probability in real time-something you can’t get on regular TV.

What If You Can’t Find the Match?

Sometimes, a match gets moved to a secondary channel or delayed due to scheduling. If you can’t find it on your usual app:

1. Check the official ATP website’s schedule. It lists the broadcaster for each match.
2. Search Twitter or Reddit for r/tennis. Fans often post live links or confirm which channel is airing.
3. Look for the tournament’s official social media. They’ll usually tweet the broadcast info right before the match starts.
4. If you’re using a VPN, try switching servers. Sometimes one server works better than another.

And if all else fails, you can always watch the highlights after the match. Most broadcasters post full match replays within 24 hours.

Final Tip: Don’t Pay Twice

Some fans subscribe to multiple services because they think they need to. But you probably don’t. If you live in the UK or Ireland, Prime Video covers nearly every ATP match. If you’re in the U.S., ESPN+ is enough for 90% of tournaments. Don’t pay for DAZN if you’re not in Europe. Don’t buy Sky Sport if you’re in North America.

Stick to the one service that covers your region. Use free trials to test them out. Most offer 7 to 30 days. That’s enough to catch a couple of big tournaments and decide if it’s worth it.
