Read on to find out how to watch 2025 Billie Jean King Cup live streams from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE. Billie Jean King Cup live streams: TV schedule, dates The 2025 Billie Jean King Cup qualifying round runs from Thursday, April 10 to Sunday, April 13. • FREE STREAMS — Watch on 9Now (AUS), RTVE (ESP) • U.S. — Tennis Channel via Sling or Fubo • U.K. — Tennis Channel / BBC iPlayer (Great Britain matches) • Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN risk-free With hosts China and reigning champions Italy already guaranteed spots in the Billie Jean King Cup finals in Shenzhen this September, 18 teams, split into six groups of three, are competing for the six remaining spots. Each qualifier follows a best-of-three format, with two singles matches followed by a decisive doubles tiebreaker if necessary. Captained by Lindsay Davenport and featuring world No.3 Pegula and No.32 Danielle Collins, the United States line-up is arguably the most formidable of the lot, but their Group C rivals Slovakia made it all the way to last year's final. On paper, Group B and Group D should be nailbiting too. In Group B, the Czech Republic and Spain are two of the most successful teams in Billie Jean King Cup history, but No.17 Haddad Maia is one of the top players in the tournament. In Group D, the No.10-ranked former Wimbledon champion Rybakina is a huge threat to Australia's hopes. You'll find the groups, players, squads and schedules at the bottom of this page. Here's how to watch Billie Jean King Cup 2025 from anywhere — starting with free streams. Free Billie Jean King Cup live streams Fans can look forward to free Billie Jean King Cup coverage in select territories. The tournament is available to watch for FREE on 9Now in Australia, with English commentary. You'll also find free Billie Jean King Cup coverage on RTVE in Spain. Away from home? You may not be able to watch the action like you normally would due to regional restrictions. Fortunately, there’s an easy solution. Use a VPN to watch Billie Jean King Cup 2025 for free — we’ll show you how to do that below. How to watch a Billie Jean King Cup live stream from abroad It's only natural that you'll want to watch your usual home coverage of Billie Jean King Cup, especially if it's free-to-air. But what if you're abroad during the tournament? Look no further than a VPN (virtual private network). A VPN 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. They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is NordVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. 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. Save over 70% on NordVPN! Using a VPN is 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 visiting the U.S. and want to view your usual Australian service, you'd select Australia from the list. 3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to 9Now or another streaming service and watch the action.
