Summer is slowly but surely winding down each minute, which means the annual U.S. Open is near. But don't fret, because there's still over three weeks until the big tennis shebang comes to New York City. This year, the U.S. Open goes from August 28 to September 10, with the qualifying matches taking place from August 22 to August 25.
Tickets for the event can get up there, so if you're not willing to cash out on that kind of change or can't make it to the Empire State for the occasion but still wanna watch some badass tennis players do their thing, then I have the answers for you, bb.
From singles to doubles to men's and women's competitions in all the categories, there are quite literally So! Many! Matches! Thankfully, if you want to see them all, that's not a problem. Here's how you can tune in, and right from your bed, no less.
How can I watch the 2023 U.S. Open Tennis Championships?
So there are a few ways, bestie. Of course, they all depend on what kind of service you're working with. For all my cable-cutters out there, here's the deal: ESPN and ESPN2 own the rights to the U.S. Open, so all the matches will be available through them. You can also get ESPN through major streaming services, like Hulu, Sling, and FuboTV.
Both Sling and FuboTV have weeklong free trials, and while this won't cover the full duration of the matches, if you time each trial correctly, you'll be able to see nearly all of the games. Do with that intel what you will...👀 And while Hulu doesn't offer a free trial with either the additional ESPN programming or their Live TV addition, pricing starts at $9.99 a month for the former and $69.99 a month for the latter. If either one of those speaks to you, it's def not a bad option!
YouTube TV is also a contender, and this streaming service gives you a 14-day free trial. So if you want to skip out on watching the qualifying matches, this would be great because you'll be able to watch the championships all the way through on one platform.
