ESPN has the broadcast rights for the US Open Tennis Championship, so cable and satellite subscribers can stream through the official Watch ESPN site.

Everyone else can get in on the action through a streaming service like Hulu or YouTube TV. All you need is a laptop, tablet, or phone, a high-speed internet connection, and a suitable television streaming app.

How to Stream the US Open From ESPN

If you have a cable or satellite subscription, but you want to stream the US Open on a computer or laptop instead of on your TV, you can use the Watch ESPN live streaming website. This site provides free access to sports events broadcast on ESPN and ESPN2.

You can use Watch ESPN on your computer as long as you have a web browser like Chrome or Firefox that supports streaming and a high-speed internet connection. The final thing you need is a valid cable or satellite subscription because this site is only for paying subscribers.

Here’s how to stream the US Open through Watch ESPN:

1. Open the Watch ESPN site when the US Open is on the air. Locate the player that is labeled US Open, and select the play button.

   If you see your cable or satellite provider’s logo in the upper right corner of the page, you may not have to log in. Click on the US Open player, and the live video will start playing right away if you are logged in automatically.

2. Select your cable or satellite provider, and then log in to your account.

3. If the US Open video doesn’t automatically open, return to Watch ESPN and select the play button again.

What Streaming Services Include the US Open?

Cable and satellite subscribers can stream the US Open through Watch ESPN with a qualifying subscription, but that isn’t an option for cord-cutters.

The best way for cord-cutters to stream the US Open is to use a television streaming service. If you prefer, you can also catch some of the action with a separate ESPN streaming subscription.

Television streaming services are a good way for cord-cutters to watch the US Open because they provide access to the same live television channels that you would normally watch on cable or satellite.

The difference is that you stream live television through a high-speed internet connection instead of watching through cable or satellite.

How to Stream ESPN

Since the US Open is broadcast on ESPN, it’s important to select a service that includes access to ESPN. Most of them have it, but there are some notable exceptions.

These are the most popular streaming services that give you access to the US Open:

• Sling TV: ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3 are all included with the affordable Sling Orange plan. This is a good choice if all you care about is the US Open.
• YouTube TV: This service includes both ESPN and ESPN2 with the base plan.
• Hulu with Live TV: This service gives access to ESPN and ESPN2, and there are no confusing plans or add-ons to deal with.
• DirecTV: ESPN Unlimited is included in the MySports pack.

Streaming the US Open on Mobile, Streaming Devices, and Consoles

Watch ESPN is designed for laptop and desktop computers, but you can use the service on your phone, tablet, and even streaming devices, like the Roku or Apple TV, as well as gaming consoles.

You’ll need to download the ESPN app on your device. It’s available on Android, iOS, Fire TV, Roku, Xbox, and more.
