Over the course of three weeks, the tournament, one of the four Grand Slam major tennis championships, will see some of the world’s best athletes going head to head on the court.

An expensive cable plan isn’t necessary to tune in to all the exciting big-time tennis action this month.

This comprehensive guide is designed to serve up cord-cutters with the best tennis streaming experience short of a courtside seat in Paris.
What Channel Is the French Open on? What Time Does it Start?
The competition kicks off on May 20 with practice and qualifying rounds and continues through June 9. The main Men's and Women's Singles events are expected to start on May 26 and run through the rest of the schedule. The 2024 French Open will take place at the tournament's traditional home of Stade Roland Garros in the 16th arrondissement of Paris — a huge complex with a total of 20 courts.
The championship will have extensive broadcast time, which will be split between NBC and the Tennis Channel. Due to the six-hour time difference with Europe, live matches are mostly shown early in the day in the U.S. We’ve broken down all the match times throughout the competition and where to watch.

How to Watch the 2024 French Open Online Without Cable
It’s easy to watch the 2024 French Open without a cable connection. The cable broadcast of the tournament will split the matches between the Tennis Channel and its streaming partner fuboTV, and NBC and its streaming service Peacock. That means the entire competition will be available on official streaming partners of the competition.
This is good news for cord-cutters. However, even if you don’t have a fuboTV or Peacock subscription, there are plenty of other skinny bundle streaming services that let you access the footage, including Hulu + Live TV. In some areas, you may even be able to access the NBC broadcasts completely free over the air using an HD antenna.
Here’s the full, combined list of all the ways to stream the 2024 French Open:
Can I Watch the French Open on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, or Chromecast?
You can take your favorite tennis content with you on streaming devices that allow you to watch on your TV, computer, and mobile devices. For example, you can watch the 2024 French Open on devices like Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, and Chromecast by pairing one of the streaming services from the list with your favorite device.
