To make sure you don’t miss a single serve or volley, read our guide below on where to watch Madrid Open 2025 live streams.
World No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz, who won the Monte Carlo Masters earlier in the month and was a promising force headed into Madrid, withdrew from competition last minute due to injury. With world No. 1 Jannik Sinner still suspended, the field has opened up. Defending men’s champion Andrey Rublev is a force to be reckoned with, as is Alexander Zverev, who won the BMW Open in Munich last week.
The women’s final at the 2024 Madrid Open saw Iga Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka play out a classic, with the Polish player taking victory in a champions tiebreak. While you wouldn’t bet against the pair making it to a third consecutive final at Park Manzanares, Australian Open champion Madison Keys will be vying to upset their applecart. Fellow American Jessica Pegula has already had some success on the clay in Charleston this month and will be looking to continue that hot streak.
To help you watch the Madrid Open live streams, we’ve compiled all the crucial information you need below — including TV channels around the world, start times, and how to use a VPN if you want to watch when overseas.
Where to watch the Madrid Open in the US
All men’s ATP Masters 1000 and women’s WTA 1000 tournaments are shown on the Tennis Channel in the US — so that includes the Madrid Open. The Tennis Channel features in various cable packages and also has its own dedicated streaming platform that costs $10/month or $110/year. Alternatively, it’s available to watch through a variety of OTT streaming services.
If you’re a cord-cutter, Sling TV is one of the most affordable services you can get to replace cable. To get access to the Tennis Channel, you firstly need to sign up for either one of its Orange or Blue base packages — our guide to Sling Orange vs. Blue will help you decide which is better for you. They both cost from $46/month, with your first month half-price. From there, you’ll need to add Sports Extra for an additional $11/month.
For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you’re looking for. It’s more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members often get a chunky discount on their first month.
DirecTV is pricier than Sling TV, but it gives you more channels. The Tennis Channel appears on its Choice tier (and above) among 125+ other networks, which currently costs $80/month (a price that includes a limited time $10/month discount — after three months, it will revert to $90/month). It offers loads of flexibility on what you can add in terms of add-ons and connection devices, too. All plans come with a five-day free trial.
Previously known as AT&T TV, DirecTV offers streaming access to a large selection of live channels, including most key networks typically found in traditional cable packages.
Fubo is one of the most comprehensive cable-cutting services around, and its Elite plan carries the Tennis Channel among its 250+ network lineup. It costs a hefty $95/month, although there’s a $20 discount for your first month at the time of writing. New users can try before they buy thanks to Fubo’s seven-day free trial.
Fubo’s base plan offers tons of classic channels, including local networks and traditional cable options, but the Elite tier unlocks 4K and even more sports-friendly options.
