The tennis season is hotting-up, with three majors and a multitude of prestigious WTA and ATP 1000 tournaments fast approaching, there's just one problem...
In the U.S., several different networks have a slice of the tennis broadcasting pie, which means following your favorite players like Carlos Alcaraz and Coco Gauff isn't as straightforward as you'd think.
But don't wave the white flag or, even worse, sign up to an eye-wateringly expensive cable package, because Sling has all the channels you need at a reasonable price.
Read on as we explain how to watch tennis online with Sling from anywhere in the world.
Is Sling the best way to watch tennis online?
Tennis broadcasting rights are splintered, but Sling hits the sweet spot.
The majority of ATP and WTA tournaments, including Indian Wells, the Billie Jean King Cup, Davis Cup, Laver Cup, ATP Finals and WTA Finals, are shown on the Tennis Channel.
However, the French Open is split between the Tennis Channel and NBC, Wimbledon is split between the Tennis Channel and ESPN, and the U.S. Open and Australian Open are exclusive to ESPN.
Sling isn't the only over-the-top streamer to carry the Tennis Channel, ESPN and NBC channels, but it is the most cost-efficient option.
Sling tennis deals
Sling offers a range of packages, but the most comprehensive option for watching tennis is the Sling Orange & Blue plan plus the Sports Extra addon.
Orange & Blue carries ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and NBC (in select markets), while Sports Extra adds Tennis Channel to the mix.
Sling Orange & Blue usually costs $65.99 per month, but you'll get your first month half price. The Sports Extra addon costs $11 per month.
Alternatively, Sling Orange carries ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3, and costs $45.99 per month. Again, you'll get 50% off your first month and will need to add Sports Extra for the Tennis Channel.
You'll want Sling Orange to watch the Tennis Channel. It costs from $45.99/month and includes dozens of other great channels. New users get a 50% discount on their first month.

Can I watch Sling when outside the U.S.?
Sling isn't a global streaming service like Netflix or Apple TV Plus.
It only works in the U.S., which means that even if you're a subscriber, the moment you leave the country geo-restrictions will come into effect and prevent you from using Sling.
A good VPN, however, will allow you to access all of the services you subscribe to from anywhere in the world.
Our testing has revealed NordVPN to be the best VPN.
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 fast, has top-level security features, and is outstanding at unblocking streaming services like Sling. With over 5,000 servers across 60 countries, it's easy to recommend.
