We are one week away from the second Glam Slam on the tennis calendar. The 2025 French Opens begins next Sunday on the red clay of Roland-Garros in Paris and this year’s tournament will look different from previous editions. For starters, it’s the first time in more than two decades that Rafael Nadal is not playing. Nadal retired last year, having won an incomprehensible 14 French Open titles in his career.
In another departure, NBC is no longer the broadcast partner for the French Open. This year’s tournament marks the beginning of Warner Bros. Discovery’s 10-year deal to broadcast the French Open in the US on TNT Sports. TNT will be the lead network, with additional coverage on TBS and truTV. Every match will also be streamed on Max.
Below, we’ll outline the best servicii de streaming TV în direct to use to watch the tournament wherever you are in the world.
Carlos Alcaraz will look to repeat as French Open champion when this year’s tournament begins on Sunday, May 19.
Who are the favorites to win the 2025 French Open?
Carlos Alcaraz enters this year’s tournament as the men’s defending champion. The young Spaniard is seeking his fifth major championship and second French Open title. Top contenders in the men’s draw include Jannick Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Jack Draper, Novak Djokovic and Casper Ruud. Sinner won the Australian Open to start the year but has just returned to the tour after serving a three-month suspension for doping.
On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek is seeking her fourth straight French Open title and five out of the last six. Standing in her way are current world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, Jasmine Paolini, Mirra Andreeva and a quartet of Americans ranked in the top 10: Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys and Emma Navarro.
Iga Swiatek is becoming the Queen of Clay, winning the previous three French Opens and four out of the last five.
What is the French Open tournament schedule?
The qualifying rounds begin on Monday, and the main draw of the tournament gets underway on Sunday, May 25.
The women’s final will take place on Saturday, June 7. The men’s final is scheduled for Sunday, June 8.
How to watch or stream the French Open in the US
The French Open will be shown across TNT Sports channels: TNT, TBS and truTV. You can also watch every match shown on TV plus hundreds of others not available on the TNT channels on Max. Four of the five major live-TV streaming services include the TNT Sports channels — all but Fubo — but the cheapest way to watch the French Open is by signing up for a month of Max.
You need the $17-a-month Standard plan to watch live sports on Max. (Either that or the $21-a-month Premium plan that adds 4K streaming.) Max will show 900 matches from the French Open, including more than 800 that are exclusive to Max and not shown on TNT or TruTV. And you’ll be able to watch up to four matches at once with Max’s multi-view feature.
How to watch the French Open from anywhere with a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the tournament locally, you may need a different way to watch — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the French Open using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming the tournament may vary.
- Dacă nu vedeți locația dorită ca opțiune implicită pentru ExpressVPN, încercați să utilizați opțiunea „căutați după oraș sau țară”.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- Toți furnizorii de VPN pe care îi recomandăm au instrucțiuni utile pe site-ul lor principal pentru instalarea rapidă a VPN-ului pe router. În unele cazuri, în cazul serviciilor de televiziune inteligentă, după ce instalați aplicația sportivă a unei rețele de cablu, vi se va solicita să verificați un cod numeric sau să faceți clic pe un link trimis la adresa de e-mail înregistrată pentru televizorul inteligent. Aici va fi de ajutor și instalarea unui VPN pe router, deoarece ambele dispozitive vor părea să se afle în locația corectă.
- Și nu uitați, browserele pot dezvălui adesea o locație chiar dacă utilizați o rețea VPN, așa că asigurați-vă că utilizați un browser care pune accentul pe confidențialitate pentru a vă conecta la serviciile dvs. În mod normal, recomandăm Curajos.
