If you’re a fan of professional tennis, the Roland-Garros is a must-see every year. Read on to find out where to watch the French Open with live TV streaming in 2024.

Watch on Peacock
Whether you want to ensure you can watch every moment or you just want to stream select coverage, Peacock is worth considering for the 2024 French Open. NBC will simulcast many of its broadcasts there, and Peacock will also feature a few exclusive matches of its own.
Peacock is NBC’s streaming service, and it includes quite a bit of live sports coverage on top of a ton of popular NBC Universal films and TV shows. Besides pro tennis, live sports include Premier League soccer, NFL football, MLB baseball and the 2024 Olympics.
Watch on DIRECTV STREAM
DIRECTV STREAM offers complete TV coverage of the French Open in 2024. To watch all the action, you’ll need to subscribe to the Choice plan, which includes access to the Tennis Channel. If you opt for the basic Entertainment plan, you’ll still have access to NBC, along with a few other major sports networks like ESPN, ESPN2 and Fox Sports 1 (FS1). But the Choice package or higher offers the most bang for your buck. All DIRECTV STREAM plans include unlimited DVR, so you can record any matches you miss and watch them on your own time.
Watch on Fubo
Fubo may be appealing if your sports interests extend well beyond the tennis court. The basic Pro plan includes NBC plus more than 30 sports channels, including Golf Channel, NFL Network and beIN SPORTS. If you want to get all the Grand Slam action from Paris, you’ll need to upgrade to one of the two top-tier Fubo plans or add one of the optional sports add-on packages. The cheapest option would be to stick with the Pro plan and add Fubo Extra for $7.99 a month. Whichever plan you choose, you’ll get more sports on Fubo than anywhere else, along with 1,000 hours of live DVR.
Watch on Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV is an excellent choice for sports fans who want a more well-rounded viewing experience. The channel lineup includes over a dozen sports networks. But that’s only a part of the package — Hulu + Live TV also includes access to Hulu’s on-demand library, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. For the French Open, NBC is included in all Hulu + Live TV plans, but you’ll need the Sports Add-on for $9.99 a month to get the Tennis Channel. Hulu comes with unlimited cloud DVR space.
Watch on Sling TV
If you’re looking for a way to watch the French Open on a budget, check out Sling TV. With Sling Blue and the Sports Extra add-on, you can watch on the Tennis Channel and NBC in some locations. Sling Blue also includes live sports on FS1, NFL Network, TBS, TNT and TruTV. To get ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3, you’ll need to upgrade to Sling Orange & Blue. The Sports Extra add-on also features more than 10 additional networks, including NBA TV, MLB Network and NHL Network. Sling only comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR storage, but you can upgrade to 200 hours for $5 a month.
Watch on YouTube TV
YouTube TV offers one of the best overall channel lineups of any live TV streaming platform. Featuring more than 100 channels and unlimited DVR, it’s tough to find a better value for live TV. As with many of the other streaming services, the Tennis Channel is only available with an add-on. The Sports Plus add-on costs $10.99 a month and includes not only the Tennis Channel but also beIN SPORTS, Fox Soccer Plus, Fight Network and more. That’s on top of all the major sports networks you get in the base plan, such as ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, NBA TV, CBS Sports Network, NFL Network and more.
