How To Watch The US Open 2022

Published 2022-08-29 By Dennis Restauro

the tennis us open

Tennis’ US Open, the final Grand Slam tournament of the year, begins on Monday, August 29th. In the US. live coverage will air live on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, and ESPN+. ESPN and ESPN2 will have main coverage throughout the day. However, ESPN+ and ESPN3 will stream each court through the ESPN app. The US Open will continue until it ends with the Women’s Doubles and Men’s Championship. Not only will you find the entire Tennis US Open schedule below, but his article will explain how to watch every day of the tournament without having cable.

Best Way To Watch The US Open Without Cable: I recommend subscribing to Hulu Live TV as it provides ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, and ESPN+ for $69.99 per month. You can cancel as soon as the US Open concludes and only pay for one month if you wish. However, if you are just looking for the main coverage on ESPN and ESPN2 then you can certainly use one of the services offering a free trial below.

  • DIRECTV STREAM– offers a 5-day free trial
  • FuboTV – offers a 1-week free trial
  • YouTube TV –  offers a 1-week free trial

Just pick up one of these trials and watch the first week of the US Open through the ESPN app and then cancel the service and pick up another trial for week two. If you cancel before the trial is over there is no charge. Of course, you can just continue service and watch the entire US Open through the service, but you will be charged for your first month. You can cancel at any time. We go into all the details for using these services to watch the US Open (including the schedule) below.

Watch The US Open on The ESPN app
