Which Streaming Services Include the French Open?

Cable and satellite subscribers can stream the French Open through NBC Sports and the Tennis Channel, but cord cutters don't have that option. For cord cutters, the best way to stream the French Open is to use a television streaming service.

Television streaming services are a lot like cable and satellite television, and you can use them to watch live television just like cable and satellite. The difference is that instead of watching on your television through a cable or satellite provider, you stream the content through the internet. You can stream to your computer or laptop, tablet, phone, or even your television if you have the right device.

Since the French Open broadcasts on both NBC and the Tennis Channel, it's important to select a service that includes both your local NBC station and the Tennis Channel.

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

  • YouTube TV: This service has the second widest coverage for NBC, and it includes the Tennis Channel at no extra cost.
  • Sling TV: NBC is available in a handful of large markets through this service. You can also get the Tennis Channel with either Sling Orange or Sling Blue, but only if you pay for the Sports Extra package. The price is still good, so it's worth checking out if your area is included.
  • fuboTV: This service focuses on sports-related channels, but NBC is only available in select markets. You also have to pay for the Sports Plus package to get the Tennis Channel, which makes this an expensive option.
    You can get a free trial of fuboTV here.
  • DirecTV Now: You don't need DirecTV to use this service, despite the name. It's available to everyone in the United States, but it doesn't offer NBC in every market. It also doesn't offer the Tennis Channel.
  • Hulu with Live TV: NBC is available in most markets through this service, but it doesn't include the Tennis Channel. If you want to watch every match, this isn't a good option.

Each of these services offers some type of free trial, so this is a good way to stream the French Open for free.

How to Stream the French Open From NBC

If you have a cable or satellite subscription, but you prefer to stream to your computer or laptop instead of watching on your television, you can use the NBC Sports live streaming website. This site provides free access to sports events that NBC has the rights to.

You can use the NBC Sports live streaming website on your Windows, macOS or Linux computer or laptop, with any modern web browser, as long as you have a high-speed internet connection and a cable or satellite subscription.

When you visit the official NBC Sports site during the tournament, you may see what seems to be a free live stream of the current match. This is just a free preview, and it only lasts for a few minutes. If you want to lift the free trial video restriction, you need to log in through your cable or satellite provider or find someone who is willing to lend you their password.

Here's how to stream the French Open through NBC Sports:

  1. Navigate to the NBC Sports French Open site. The player will load, and then the French Open live stream will activate as soon as the even goes live. When your free preview runs out, click CONTINUE.
