First-round play at the US Open began on Sunday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens and continues now on Monday.

If you don’t have cable or a TV antenna, you’ll need a live TV streaming service to stream matches from the US Open live for free. One option we love is DIRECTV, which comes with five days free and starts at $49.99/month, with plenty of subscription options and genre packs that includes ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC.

This year’s tournament kicked off on Aug. 24 and will conclude with the women's final on Sept. 6 and the men's final on Sept. 7. The 2025 US Open boasts a $90 million purse — the largest in tennis history, and a $15 million increase from 2024, per the tournament.
