The Swiatek vs Gauff live stream is set to be a fascinating encounter as two of the best players on the planet battle it out on Court Philippe-Chatrier for a place in the French Open final. 

Read on and we'll show you how to watch Swiatek vs Gauff live streams from anywhere with a VPN, potentially for free.

Swiatek vs Gauff live stream: TV schedule, dates

The Swiatek vs Gauff live stream is scheduled to start on June 6 at 2 p.m. BST / 9. a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT / 11 p.m AEST. 
► FREE STREAM — 9Now (AUS)

Since saving a match point against Naomi Osaka, Iga Swiatek has raised her game to a whole new level. The three-time French Open champion thrashed Anastasia Potapova 6-0, 6-0 and then defeated fifth seed Marketa Vondrousova 6-0, 6-2. Now playing her best tennis of the year on her favorite surface, the question is can anyone stop the world number one from lifting the title at Roland Garros?

Coco Gauff will believe she can end the reign of Swiatek and will be full of confidence after an impressive display in the quarter-finals to beat Ons Jabeur. The 20-year-old has been the picture of consistency since winning the U.S. Open last year and is looking at home on the clay courts in Paris. However, she is 1-10 against the top seed and just three weeks ago in Rome fell to a 6-4, 6-3 defeat despite playing extremely well. 

You won’t want to miss this one so read on to discover how to get a Swiatek vs Gauff live stream and watch the 2024 French Open from wherever you are.

How to watch Swiatek vs Gauff live streams for FREE

If you're lucky enough to live in Australia then you can look forward to a free Swiatek vs Gauff live stream from Roland-Garros. That's because the free-to-air Channel 9 and its 9Now streaming service in Australia have rights to 2024 Grand Slams, including the French Open.

But what if you're usually based in Australia but aren't at home for a Swiatek vs Gauff live stream? 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.

Watch Swiatek vs Gauff live streams from anywhere

It's natural that you might want to watch the Swiatek vs Gauff live stream from your home country, but what if you're not there when it's on?

You can still watch the French Open live thanks to the wonders of 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 sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

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 5,000 servers, across 60 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 away form Australia, and want to view an Australian service, you'd select Australia from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to 9Now or another website and watch the tennis.

Aussies can again watch the 2024 French Open live stream for free on Channel Nine, including Swiatek vs Gauff.

The big games will air on the free-to-view 9Gem and 9Go channels and via the on-demand service 9Now, but to watch every game, ad-free and in up to 4K, you'll need a subscription to Stan Sport.
