ATP Finals live stream 2024: How to watch tennis for free from anywhere, seeds, schedule
One of few titles neither Sinner nor Alcaraz has ever lifted
It's been a strange and momentous year for tennis, something that will be on full display at the ATP Finals in Turin. Novak Djokovic's withdrawal means that, for the first time since 2001, none of the sport's modern greats will be competing in the season-ending tournament. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, it's over to you.
You can watch ATP Finals 2024 from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE!
The 2024 ATP Finals run from Sunday, November 10 to Sunday, November 17. Full schedule below.
► Italy — Rai Play (FREE)
► U.S. — Tennis Channel via Sling or Fubo
► Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free
It's worth remembering that Sinner hadn't won a grand slam before 2024. The Italian has topped the rankings since June, by virtue of winning the Australian and US Opens, as well as a multitude of Masters 1000 and 500 events. His two failed anti-doping tests, however, won't be forgotten in a hurry.
The French Open and Wimbledon titles were snapped up by Alcaraz, with whom Sinner shares a friendly but fiercely competitive rivalry — their head-to-head is 6-4 in the Spaniard's favor.
Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz have all had the dubious honor of losing major finals to Sinner and Alcaraz this year. Unlike their younger adversaries, however, Zverev and Medvedev have each lifted the ATP Finals trophy.
Read on to find out how to watch 2024 ATP Finals live streams where you are. We’ve also listed the full schedule below so you won't miss a moment.
FREE ATP Finals live streams
The 2024 ATP Finals are being live streamed for free on Rai Sport and its Rai Play streaming service in Italy.
But what if you're based in Italy but aren't at home to catch that free ATP Finals coverage? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home?
Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.
How to watch ATP Finals 2024 from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the tennis on your usual subscription? You can still watch ATP Finals 2024 live thanks to a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 6,000 servers, across 110 countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view an Italian service, you'd select Italy from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Rai Play or another website and watch the ATP Finals as normal.
How to watch ATP Finals in the U.S.
Tennis fans in the U.S. will need the Tennis Channel to watch the 2024 ATP Finals.
The Tennis Channel is available through most cable packages, as well as some of the best cable TV alternatives, including Sling TV, Fubo, and DirecTV Stream. Of these options, we recommend Sling and Fubo.
Sling TV offers two packages, both of which start at $40 a month ($20 for your first month). The Sling Blue plan comes with 40-plus channels, including NBC (selected cities) and USA. The Sling Orange plan comes with ESPN, which is great news for sports fans. Either way, you'll need the $11 Sports Extra add-on to get the Tennis Channel for the 2024 ATP Finals.
If you love sports, you might want to check out Fubo. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay up front and has dozens of sports channels, including FS1, ESPN andd USA. Prices start at $79.99, after the trial. You'll need a sports add-on or the Ultimate Plan for the Tennis Channel and coverage of the ATP Finals.
How to watch ATP Finals in Canada
Tennis fans in Canada can get all the ATP Finals action on TSN as part of a cable TV package.
If you don't have cable, then you could watch ATP Finals online on TSN Plus instead, which lets you get access to all TSN has to offer on an $8/month or $80/year subscription basis.
If you live in Canada but aren't at home right now, you can still watch an ATP Finals live stream by using a quality VPN like NordVPN.
How to watch ATP Finals in the U.K.
Sky Sports is the official broadcaster for the ATP Finals in the U.K..
If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. The event will be shown across the Sky Sports Tennis and Main Event channels.
Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £6/month for the TV, plus a Sky sub on top of that.
If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £14.99 or £34.99/month.
If you're not in the U.K., you can still follow ATP Finals live streams on Sky Go by using one of the best VPN services, such as NordVPN.
How to watch ATP Finals in Australia
Tennis fans in Australia can watch every match of the ATP Finals on beIN Sports.
To access beIN sports you'll have to pay $14.99 a month or $149.99 a year. Both options include a 7-day free trial. You can also use the beIN Sports Connect app to stream ATP Finals 2024.
Traveling outside Oz? Don't worry — you can watch via a VPN instead. Our favorite VPN service right now is NordVPN, but you'll find others in our best VPN services list.
