2023 US Open live streams: How to watch the tennis major online right now, matches, schedule, seeds

The 2023 US Open live streams are serving up a ton of tennis action straight from Flushing Meadows, New York City. The women's final is set between Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka, while the men duke it out in the semifinals.

You won't want to miss a second of the tournament and, thankfully, you won't have to, because the big games will air for free on Australia's 9Now service. And don't worry if you're away — because you can watch 2023 US Open live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Another epic finals battle between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic may be in the cards, as the top two men's seeds have sailed through the rounds. Their five-setter in the Wimbledon final instantly became an all-time classic, while their recent duel in Cincinnati was a three-set showdown. 

Of course, No. 3 seed Daniil Medvedev and American Ben Shelton won't make it easy for them, as both will give everything they have in their semifinals. 

On the women's side, Gauff vs Sabalenka should be an epic match between two powerhouse hitters. 

You can follow it all by watching a US Open live stream and we'll show you how to do that below.

How to watch the 2023 US Open live streams from anywhere with a VPN

A VPN, or virtual private network, makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

For instance, an Australian who's currently in the U.S. could watch the US Open live streams on 9Now, even though they're not in Australia. 

They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. 

Safety, speed and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. It's also compatible with loads of devices and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you want to try it out.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

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