ATP Finals live stream 2024: How to watch tennis for free from anywhere, order of play, seeds, schedule

Carlos Alcaraz of Spain serves against Ugo Humbert of France in their Men's Singles Third Round match during day four of the Rolex Paris Masters 2024 on October 31, 2024 in Paris, France.

The two remaining spots in the semi-finals will be decided today, as the group stage comes to a close. With a perfect record, Alexander Zverev already has one foot in the knockouts, while Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud are on one win apiece. Andrey Rublev is yet to score a set, but if he's able to beat Ruud in straight sets and Zverev does the same against Alcaraz, we'll get a three-way tie that would go down to percentage of games won.

You can watch ATP Finals 2024 from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE!

2024 ATP Finals live streams: TV schedule, dates

The 2024 ATP Finals run from Sunday, November 10 to Sunday, November 17. Full schedule below.
► Italy — Rai Play (FREE)
U.S. — Tennis Channel via Sling or Fubo
► Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free

The player that tops the group will face Taylor Fritz on Saturday, with the runner-up set for a showdown with Jannik Sinner. As things stand ahead of play on Friday, it will be Alcaraz who'll have to take on the world No.1. 

It's worth remembering that the Italian hadn't won a grand slam before 2024. He's topped the rankings since June, by virtue of winning the Australian and US Opens, as well as a multitude of Masters 1000 and 500 events. Those two failed anti-doping tests, however, won't be forgotten in a hurry. The French Open and Wimbledon titles were snapped up by Alcaraz.

Both Fritz and Alexander Zverev have all had the dubious honor of losing major finals to Sinner and Alcaraz this year. Unlike his younger adversary, however, Zverev has lifted the ATP Finals trophy.

Read on to find out how to watch 2024 ATP Finals live streams where you are. We’ve also listed today's order of play so you won't miss a moment.

FREE ATP Finals live streams

The 2024 ATP Finals are being live streamed for free on Rai Sport and its Rai Play streaming service in Italy.

But what if you're based in Italy but aren't at home to catch that free ATP Finals coverage? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home?

Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.

How to watch ATP Finals 2024 from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the tennis on your usual subscription? You can still watch ATP Finals 2024 live thanks to a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

Using a VPN is incredibly 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 in the U.S. and want to view an Italian service, you'd select Italy from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Rai Play or another website and watch the ATP Finals as normal.

Tennis fans in the U.S. will need the Tennis Channel to watch the 2024 ATP Finals.

The Tennis Channel is available through most cable packages, as well as some of the best cable TV alternatives, including Sling TV, Fubo, and DirecTV Stream. Of these options, we recommend Sling and Fubo.

Tennis fans in Canada can get all the ATP Finals action on TSN as part of a cable TV package.

If you don't have cable, then you could watch ATP Finals online on TSN Plus instead, which lets you get access to all TSN has to offer on an $8/month or $80/year subscription basis.

If you live in Canada but aren't at home right now, you can still watch an ATP Finals live stream by using a quality VPN like NordVPN.

Sky Sports is the official broadcaster for the ATP Finals in the U.K..

If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. The event will be shown across the Sky Sports Tennis and Main Event channels.

Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £6/month for the TV, plus a Sky sub on top of that.

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £14.99 or £34.99/month.

If you're not in the U.K., you can still follow ATP Finals live streams on Sky Go by using one of the best VPN services, such as NordVPN.

Tennis fans in Australia can watch every match of the ATP Finals on beIN Sports.

To access beIN sports you'll have to pay $14.99 a month or $149.99 a year. Both options include a 7-day free trial. You can also use the beIN Sports Connect app to stream ATP Finals 2024.

Traveling outside Oz? Don't worry — you can watch via a VPN instead. Our favorite VPN service right now is NordVPN, but you'll find others in our best VPN services list.
