How to watch Naomi Osaka vs. Amanda Anisimova without cable:
ESPN’s new streaming service is divided into two tiers: the ESPN unlimited package and the ESPN select package. For the remainder of the U.S. Open, quarterfinals, semifinals and the final matches will only be available on ESPN’s linear networks or ESPN unlimited.
For $29.99, the ESPN unlimited package includes access to all of ESPN’s linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNews and ESPN Deportes, plus access to programming on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+ and ACCNX. That means fans will get coverage of more than 47,000 live events each year, on-demand replays, original programming and more.
Right now, for a limited time, you can bundle ESPN unlimited with Disney+ and Hulu and pay $29.99/month for 12 months — that’s like getting those other services free for a year! Even if you’re a current subscriber to Disney+, Hulu or even the bundle, you can still upgrade to this great deal.

2025 U.S. Open channel:
The majority of the U.S. Open tennis tournament will air on ESPN and ESPN2. Select matches — including the men’s singles final — will air on ABC.
If you don’t have cable, you can stream all the action on every court via ESPN’s newly expanded and rebranded streaming platform, ESPN. In the schedule below, we’re continuing to call ESPN’s streaming platform ESPN+, for clarity about where exactly you can catch select matches, but note that the men’s and women’s quarterfinals, semis and finals will only air on ESPN’s broadcast channels and the ESPN unlimited app.
DirecTV is currently offering its Choice tier (typically $108+/month with fees) for just $83 (after fees) for your first month.
DirecTV’s Choice tier gets you access to all the usual sports suspects: Tennis Channel, ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox, plus plenty of regional sports networks (if you want to avoid paying the RSN fees, the Entertainment Tier has plenty of those same channels, though it doesn’t include the Tennis Channel).
Whichever package you choose, you’ll get ESPN’s new unlimited streaming package included free, and unlimited Cloud DVR storage! If you add on a Gemini start device for $10/month, you can get the Disney+ and Hulu bundle thrown in for free, too.
The best part is that you can try all this out free for five days. So if you’re interested in trying out a live TV streaming service for the U.S. Open, but aren’t ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV.
