The 2025 U.S. Open has reached the semifinals at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center<\/a> in Queens, NY. Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka entered this year\u2019s tennis tournament as the defending champions of their 2024 singles titles. But they have plenty of star power to contend with on the court. Carlos Alcaraz, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Novak Djokovic are competing on the men\u2019s side. Jessica Pegula, Naomi Osaka and Amanda Anisimova take to the court on the women\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Open is airing on ESPN while some matches on the outer courts are also streaming on ESPN+ (also known as ESPN select), the remaining men’s and women’s quarterfinals, semifinals and final matches will only be airing on broadcast television, or through the ESPN App if you’re an ESPN unlimited subscriber. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about tuning into the tennis tournament, plus the full broadcast and streaming schedule.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have cable, you can stream all the action on every court via ESPN\u2019s newly expanded and rebranded streaming platform, ESPN unlimited. In the schedule below, we\u2019re continuing to call ESPN\u2019s less-expensive streaming tier ESPN+, for clarity about where exactly you can catch select matches, as not all\u00a0matches will be available on that tier.<\/p>\n

How to watch the 2025 U.S. Open without cable:\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

ESPN’s new streaming service is divided into two tiers: the ESPN unlimited package and the ESPN select package. For the remainder of the U.S. Open, quarterfinals, semifinals and the final matches will only be available on ESPN’s linear networks or ESPN unlimited.<\/p>\n

For $29.99, the ESPN Unlimited package includes access to all of ESPN’s linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNews and ESPN Deportes, plus access to programming on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+ and ACCNX. That means fans will get coverage of more than 47,000 live events each year, on-demand replays, original programming and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Right now, for a limited time, you can bundle ESPN Unlimited with Disney+ and Hulu and pay $29.99\/month for 12 months \u2014 that’s like getting those other services free for a year! Even if you’re a current subscriber to Disney+, Hulu or even the bundle, you can still upgrade to this great deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not interested in a bundle? ESPN Select (the service formerly known as ESPN+) is still an option, and it appears all the U.S. Open action will stream on ESPN Select this year. For $11.99\/month, you can tune in and get exclusive access to events like select NCAA football games, F1 driver cams, simulcasts of certain sports that air on other channels and PPV access to UFC fights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From $11.99\/month at ESPN<\/a>\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

DirecTV is currently offering its Choice tier (typically $108+\/month with fees) for just $83 (after fees) for your first month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DirecTV’s Choice tier gets you access to all the usual sports suspects: Tennis Channel, ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox, plus plenty of regional sports networks (if you want to avoid paying the RSN fees, the Entertainment Tier has plenty of those same channels, though it doesn’t include the Tennis Channel).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whichever package you choose, you’ll get ESPN’s new unlimited streaming package included free, and unlimited Cloud DVR storage! If you add on a Gemini start device for $10\/month, you can get the Disney+ and Hulu bundle thrown in for free too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The best part is that you can try all this out free for five days. So if you’re interested in trying out a live-TV streaming service for the U.S. Open, but aren’t ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV.<\/p>\n
