If you’re wondering whether Tennis TV shows the Grand Slams, the short answer is: no. Not directly. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. Understanding how Tennis TV fits into the bigger picture of watching the majors - Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open - is key to not missing a single match.

What Tennis TV Actually Offers

Tennis TV is a subscription service run by the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals). It’s built for fans who want deep access to men’s professional tennis outside the biggest tournaments. Think of it as the go-to hub for ATP Tour matches: Masters 1000 events, 500s, 250s, and the ATP Finals. You get live streams of nearly every match on the men’s tour, plus on-demand replays, archived matches from the last 10 years, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content.

But here’s the catch: the Grand Slams aren’t part of the ATP Tour’s direct control. They’re run by independent organizations - the ITF (International Tennis Federation) and the four national tennis associations. That means the Slams have their own broadcasting deals, separate from Tennis TV. Even though the ATP governs the men’s tour, it doesn’t own the Slams. So Tennis TV doesn’t stream them.

Where to Watch the Grand Slams in 2025

Each Slam has its own broadcast partner, and those deals change every few years. Here’s where you can catch them in 2025:

  • Australian Open: ESPN+ in the U.S., Network Ten in Australia, Eurosport in Europe
  • French Open: NBC and Peacock in the U.S., beIN SPORTS in Canada, Eurosport across most of Europe
  • Wimbledon: ESPN+ in the U.S., BBC in the UK, CTV in Canada
  • US Open: ESPN and ESPN+ in the U.S., TSN in Canada, Sky Sports in the UK

Some of these services offer free highlights or limited live coverage, but full access usually requires a subscription. If you’re in the U.S., ESPN+ is your best bet - it carries every match from all four Slams, plus the ATP and WTA events that aren’t on network TV.

Why Tennis TV Doesn’t Include the Slams

The reason is simple: money and control. The Grand Slams are the most valuable properties in tennis. They generate billions in revenue from TV rights, sponsorships, and ticket sales. Each Slam negotiates its own deals with broadcasters, often signing multi-year contracts with networks that pay top dollar for exclusivity.

Tennis TV, on the other hand, is a niche product. It’s designed to fill the gaps between the Slams and the big ATP events. It targets hardcore fans who want to follow players like Jannik Sinner, Taylor Fritz, or Holger Rune in smaller tournaments - matches that wouldn’t air anywhere else. The Slams don’t need Tennis TV’s audience. They already have massive global reach.

Even the WTA (women’s tour) doesn’t have a direct equivalent to Tennis TV. Their streaming service, WTA TV, also excludes the Slams for the same reasons.

Can You Watch Slams on Tennis TV Through Other Means?

No. There’s no workaround. You can’t subscribe to Tennis TV and magically unlock Wimbledon or the US Open. Some fans try using VPNs to access international broadcasters, but that’s against the terms of service of most platforms. Plus, it’s unreliable - streams often buffer, commentaries may be in another language, and you could risk account suspension.

There’s also no official bundle that includes both Tennis TV and a Slam broadcaster. They’re separate products with separate pricing. Tennis TV costs $14.99/month or $99.99/year. ESPN+ is $10.99/month. If you want full coverage, you’ll need both.

What You Do Get on Tennis TV (That You Can’t Get Elsewhere)

Even though Tennis TV doesn’t carry the Slams, it’s still the best place to watch the rest of the season. Here’s what makes it worth it:

  • Every ATP match live: From the first round in Adelaide to the final in Turin, you won’t miss a single point.
  • Full archive access: Watch historic matches like Nadal vs. Federer at Roland Garros 2008 or Djokovic’s 2011 US Open final.
  • Multiple camera angles: Some matches offer alternate feeds - court-level, player-side, or even drone shots.
  • No commercials during play: Unlike network TV, Tennis TV doesn’t interrupt matches with ads.
  • Live stats and scores: Real-time data on serve speed, rally length, and win probability.

For fans who follow the tour closely, Tennis TV is essential. It’s where you see rising stars before they break into the Slams. You’ll spot the next Alcaraz or Swiatek long before they’re on ESPN.

How to Plan Your Viewing for the Entire Season

Here’s a simple plan to cover every match in 2025 without paying for 10 different services:

  1. Subscribe to ESPN+: Covers all four Slams, most ATP and WTA events, and the ATP Finals.
  2. Add Tennis TV: Only if you want every single ATP match - especially the smaller tournaments where ESPN+ doesn’t stream everything.
  3. Use free highlights: YouTube channels like the ATP and WTA post full match highlights within hours.
  4. Check local broadcasters: In the UK, BBC and Sky Sports show Slams for free with a TV license. In Australia, Network Ten broadcasts the Australian Open live on free-to-air TV.

Most fans don’t need both services. If you only care about the Slams and the big ATP events, ESPN+ alone is enough. But if you’re obsessed with the tour - tracking every player’s progress from Challenger events to Masters finals - then Tennis TV adds real value.

What About the WTA Slams?

Women’s Grand Slams follow the same pattern. They’re not on Tennis TV. The WTA doesn’t have its own streaming platform that includes the majors. Instead, you’ll find them on the same broadcasters as the men’s events: ESPN+, Peacock, BBC, beIN SPORTS, etc.

The WTA has a separate streaming service called WTA TV, which offers live matches from non-Slam events - similar to Tennis TV for the men. But again, the Slams are excluded. If you want to watch Iga Swiatek or Coco Gauff in Melbourne or New York, you’ll need to go through the official Slam broadcasters.

Bottom Line: Is Tennis TV Worth It?

Tennis TV is worth it if you’re a true tennis fan who follows the tour year-round. It’s not worth it if you only care about the Slams. You’ll pay for it, but you won’t get the big tournaments.

Think of it this way: Tennis TV is the backstage pass to the entire tennis world - except the four biggest stages. Those are handled by the networks that pay the most. If you want front-row seats to Wimbledon or the US Open, you need to go straight to the source.

For most people, ESPN+ is the smarter choice. It covers the Slams, the ATP Finals, and most of the big ATP/WTA events. Add Tennis TV only if you’re following 10+ players across 50+ tournaments every season. Otherwise, you’re paying for content you won’t use.

Does Tennis TV show Wimbledon?

No, Tennis TV does not show Wimbledon. Wimbledon is broadcast by the BBC in the UK and ESPN+ in the U.S. Tennis TV only streams ATP Tour events outside the Grand Slams.

Can I watch the US Open on Tennis TV?

No, the US Open is not available on Tennis TV. It’s streamed exclusively on ESPN and ESPN+ in the United States, and on other regional broadcasters like TSN in Canada and Sky Sports in the UK.

Is there a way to watch all tennis matches in one place?

No single service offers every match. ESPN+ covers the Slams and most ATP/WTA events, but not every ATP 250 or Challenger match. Tennis TV fills those gaps for the men’s tour. For complete coverage, you need both services - or rely on free highlights and local broadcasts.

Why don’t the Grand Slams partner with Tennis TV?

The Grand Slams generate massive revenue from exclusive TV deals with major networks like ESPN, BBC, and beIN SPORTS. These deals pay hundreds of millions of dollars. Tennis TV is a smaller, niche service with a limited audience, so it doesn’t offer the financial or reach advantages the Slams need.

What’s the cheapest way to watch all four Slams?

In the U.S., ESPN+ is the cheapest option at $10.99/month - it streams all four Slams live. In the UK, BBC iPlayer offers Wimbledon and the Australian Open for free with a TV license. In Canada, TSN+ covers the Slams for $19.99/month. Always check local broadcasters - some Slams air on free-to-air channels depending on your country.
