The second grand slam of the year is ongoing at Roland-Garros this week. The 2025 French Open has reached the semifinals. The defending champions, Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek have both made it through so far — though notably neither player occupies the top-seeded spot in their respective singles tournaments. Jannik Sinner is the No. 1 seed in the men’s tournament, Aryna Sabalenka is the No. 1 seed in the women’s. American tennis star Coco Gauff is the No. 2 seed on the women’s side. In the U.S., coverage of this year’s tournament is airing on TNT and truTV, and every match is streaming live on HBO Max.

How to watch the French Open without cable:

Disney

The Disney+, Hulu, Max bundle gets you exactly what it sounds like: access to Disney+, Hulu and Max. If you go ad-free ($29.99/month) you’ll save up to 38% off compared to individually paying for all three services — and gain access to all French Open coverage. 

If you don’t already have access to these platforms, this is a great option that really covers your bases, streaming-wise. You’ll get access to three vast libraries, fully stocked with everything MCU, all those Disney princesses (new and old), Hulu’s robust catalog of shows on-demand the day after they air, including the latest episodes of Abbott Elementary, Grey’s Anatomy and more, and the most recent seasons of The Last of Us, The Pitt and White Lotus.

How to watch the French Open with a VPN:

If you want to catch every match of the French Open and don’t currently subscribe to HBO Max or a live TV streaming service, in Australia a majority of the action is streaming free with ads on 9Now, and in Austria it’s all streaming free with ads on ServusTV.

Don’t live in either of those places? Don’t worry, you can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to next F1 race without a cable package, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.

ExpressVPN offers “internet without borders,” meaning you can tune into an Austrian or Australian livestream this month as opposed to paying for another streaming subscription. All you’ll need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your server location and then find free livestream coverage on 9Now or ServusTV. 

ExpressVPN’s added protection, speed and range of location options make it an excellent choice for first-time VPN users looking to stretch their streaming abilities, plus, it’s Engadget’s top pick for the best streaming VPN. New users can save 61% when they sign up for ExpressVPN’s 2-year subscription. Plus, the service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, in case you’re nervous about trying a VPN.
