Check Tournament Coverage
If you're signed up for Tennis TV, you probably expect to see every match from every tournament on the calendar. But here’s the truth: Tennis TV doesn’t have all tournaments. Not even close. And if you don’t know which ones it covers, you could miss big matches - or waste money on a subscription that doesn’t match your needs.
What Tennis TV Actually Offers
Tennis TV is the official live streaming service of the ATP and WTA tours. That means it has the rights to stream matches from the ATP Tour (men’s professional tennis) and the WTA Tour (women’s professional tennis). That includes:
- All ATP 250, ATP 500, and ATP Masters 1000 tournaments
- All WTA 250, WTA 500, and WTA 1000 tournaments
- The ATP Finals and WTA Finals
- Live coverage of qualifying rounds for most events
- On-demand replays of every match
That’s a lot. Over 2,000 live matches per year. But it doesn’t include the Grand Slams. No Australian Open. No Roland Garros. No Wimbledon. No US Open. Those are owned by separate organizations and sold to broadcasters like ESPN, BBC, or Eurosport depending on your region.
What’s Missing? The Big Four
The Grand Slams are the crown jewels of tennis. They’re the only tournaments that give players ranking points, prize money, and legacy. But they’re also the only ones Tennis TV doesn’t stream. Why? Because they’re run by independent governing bodies - the ITF - and each one has its own broadcast deals. Wimbledon, for example, is broadcast by the BBC in the UK and ESPN in the US. Tennis TV has no access to those feeds.
If you’re only watching Tennis TV, you’ll see players like Carlos Alcaraz or Iga Świątek in Rome or Miami - but you won’t see them play at Roland Garros or Flushing Meadows. That’s a huge gap.
What About Challenger and ITF Events?
Below the ATP and WTA tours, there are hundreds of lower-tier tournaments: ATP Challenger Tour, ITF World Tennis Tour, and junior events. Tennis TV doesn’t cover these either. You won’t find matches from places like Banja Luka, Monastir, or Ljubljana. These are the tournaments where up-and-coming players earn their first ranking points. If you follow rising stars - say, a 17-year-old from Poland or a 20-year-old from Colombia - you’ll need to hunt down their matches on YouTube, the ITF’s website, or local streaming services.
Some fans use Tennis TV to track players they like, then go elsewhere to catch their Challenger matches. It’s not ideal, but it’s how the ecosystem works.
Regional Restrictions Are Real
Even within the tournaments Tennis TV covers, there are blackout zones. If you live in the United States, you can’t watch ATP or WTA events that are being broadcast by ESPN or Tennis Channel. The same goes for Canada, the UK, Australia, and other countries with exclusive broadcast rights.
For example, if you’re in Calgary and try to watch the Miami Open on Tennis TV, you might get a message saying, "This event is not available in your region." That’s because ESPN has the exclusive rights here. Tennis TV only works outside those blackout areas.
You can sometimes bypass this with a VPN, but that violates their terms of service. And if you’re caught, your account could be suspended.
How Does Tennis TV Compare to Other Services?
Here’s a quick breakdown of what you get from major tennis streaming options:
| Service | ATP Tour | WTA Tour | Grand Slams | Challenger/ITF | Regional Blackouts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tennis TV | Yes | Yes | No | No | Yes (in US, UK, CA, AU) |
| Eurosport | Partial | Partial | Yes (in Europe) | No | Yes (varies by country) |
| ESPN+ | Yes (US) | Yes (US) | Yes (US) | No | None (within US) |
| Amazon Prime Video | Yes (UK) | Yes (UK) | Yes (UK) | No | Yes (outside UK) |
| ITF Tennis | No | No | No | Yes (some events) | None |
So if you’re in the U.S., ESPN+ is the only service that gives you everything - ATP, WTA, and all four Grand Slams - in one place. But it costs $14.99/month. Tennis TV is $11.99/month, but you’ll still miss the majors.
Who Should Subscribe to Tennis TV?
Tennis TV makes sense if:
- You live outside the U.S., UK, Canada, or Australia - where broadcast blackouts don’t block you
- You follow the ATP or WTA tours closely - especially players like Jannik Sinner, Coco Gauff, or Novak Djokovic
- You want to watch qualifying rounds and practice sessions
- You’re okay missing the Grand Slams and watching them on free-to-air TV or other services
It’s not worth it if:
- You’re in the U.S. or Canada - ESPN+ or Tennis Channel gives you more
- You only care about the four majors - you’ll need another service
- You want to follow young players climbing the ranks - those matches aren’t on Tennis TV
What Should You Do Instead?
If you want full coverage, here’s a simple strategy:
- Use Tennis TV for ATP and WTA tournaments outside your country’s blackout zones
- Subscribe to ESPN+ (U.S. and Canada) or Amazon Prime Video (UK) for Grand Slams
- Check the ITF website or YouTube for Challenger and junior matches
- Use free highlights from the ATP and WTA social media channels
You’ll end up paying for two services - but you’ll get every match. No guessing. No missing a final.
Final Verdict
Tennis TV is excellent - but incomplete. It’s like buying a full-season pass to your favorite baseball team… but missing the World Series. You’ll see 80% of the action, but the most important games? Not there.
If you’re outside North America and love watching ATP and WTA events live, Tennis TV is still the best tool for that. But if you want the full picture - including the Grand Slams - you’ll need to layer on another service. Don’t assume one subscription covers everything. Tennis doesn’t work that way.
