In the United States
Your US setup, in three steps
Wherever you are in the country, it comes down to three choices — free, all-access, or nothing new to buy.
Put up an antenna and pull your local ABC affiliate. You get the middle Sunday and both finals — free, over the air. No every-day coverage, and nothing but the marquee matches, but it costs nothing.
Get the ESPN app and pick ESPN Select ($11.99) for every court and all of qualifying, or ESPN Unlimited ($29.99) to also get the ESPN, ESPN2, ABC and ESPN Deportes telecasts without cable.
Already have cable, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, DirecTV or Spectrum? You’re done — those carry ESPN, ESPN2, ABC and ESPN Deportes, and several now include ESPN Unlimited so you get every court too.
The tournament runs on Eastern Time, and the US spans four-plus zones — a 7 PM ET night session is 4 PM on the West Coast. The time-zone converter below shows every session in your own local time.
When is it on for you?
Match times in your time zone
The Open runs on New York time. Here are the key sessions converted to wherever you are — live, from your own device’s clock, no location sharing.
During the tournament New York is on Eastern Time (UTC−4). Western Europe is about 5–6 hours ahead, and much of East Asia is about 12–13 hours ahead, so night sessions land late at night or early morning abroad.
What it costs
Every US option, by price
From free to full cable-style bundle, and whether each one actually carries every court.
Cheapest to watch everything is ESPN Select at $11.99. The live-TV bundles cost more because you’re buying a whole channel line-up, not just tennis. Starting monthly prices, verified 2026-07-14; they change constantly — check each service before you subscribe.
Why is this so hard now?
How watching got complicated
It genuinely used to be simpler. Here’s the short history of how the free-and-easy TV era gave way to today’s patchwork.
In your language
Languages, at a glance
Two languages: English on ESPN, and Spanish on ESPN Deportes. Both are carried by the ESPN app and the live-TV bundles.
