The French Open will be airing on NBC and the Tennis Channel. Both of these networks are available on a few streaming platforms (both within plans and through add-ons). Plus, the French Open will stream on Peacock.

Watch on Sling TV (Featured Partner)

Plan Cost per Month Channels  Free Trial
Sling Orange $40 30+ No
Sling Blue $40 40+ No
Sling Orange & Blue $55+ 40+ No

With a subscription to Sling TV, you can customize what channels you’re getting and how much you want to spend. There are three Sling TV plans available: Sling Orange, Sling Blue, and Sling Orange & Blue, so you can mix and match a little bit. NBC is available with Sling Blue in some markets. The Tennis Channel is available with the Sports Extra add-on for an additional $11 per month. The add-on also includes SEC Network, ESPNU, Longhorn Network, and more. If you want all the bells and whistles, you can do the combo Sling Orange & Blue plan.

Sling TV also includes 50 hours of cloud DVR, and the number of simultaneous streams varies based on the plan you get — anywhere from one to four streams.

Watch on DIRECTV STREAM

Plan Cost per Month Channels Free Trial
Entertainment $79.99 90+ Yes
Choice $108.99 125+ Yes
Ultimate $119.99 160+ Yes
Premier $164.99 185+ Yes

DIRECTV STREAM offers both NBC and the Tennis Channel, though the latter requires you to subscribe to the Choice plan or above. This streaming service gives you four plans to choose from, and there are a ton of channels with all four DIRECTV STREAM plans, though the higher the tier you pick, the more channel offerings you get — all the way up to 185+ channels. Sports fans will be happy to find that there are a ton of channels aside from those needed for the French Open, including ESPN, NFL Network, MLB Network, and many more. 

Plus, DIRECTV STREAM offers unlimited cloud DVR and unlimited simultaneous streams while at home. It may be a bit on the pricey side, but the large amount of channels (and unlimited DVR) are enticing. There is also a free trial, so you can try before you buy.

Watch on Fubo

Plan Cost per Month Channels Free Trial
Pro $79.99 200 Yes
Elite $89.99 260+ Yes
Premier $99.99 270+ Yes

You can catch all the French Open action on Fubo — as long as you subscribe to the Elite or Premier plans. Both of these plans include NBC and the Tennis Channel. Unfortunately, the Pro plan only includes NBC. With the Elite plan, you get more than 260 channels (including what you need for the French Open), which is a huge amount for a great price. On top of that, you also get plenty of other sports networks, as well as news, entertainment, and more. 

Plus, Fubo offers 1,000 hours of cloud DVR and 10 simultaneous streams at home. You’ll no longer have any worries about getting kicked off your stream if someone else wants to watch TV while a match is on.

Watch on Hulu + Live TV

Plan Cost per Month Channels Free Trial
Hulu + Live TV $76.99 95+ Yes
Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV $89.99 95+ Yes

Hulu + Live TV doesn’t include the Tennis Channel, but it does have NBC. Beyond that, in its 95+ channel selection, customers will find sports networks like ESPN, NFL Network, Motortrend, and more. So even though you won’t be able to catch all of the French Open matchups, you’ll have other channels to keep you occupied.

Plus, Hulu + Live TV includes Hulu’s on-demand library of movies and TV shows, which houses a ton of original programming and award-winning content. Customers will even get a subscription to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus for even more entertainment each month. Unlimited cloud DVR is also part of the package deal.

Watch on YouTube TV

Plan Cost per Month Channels Free Trial
YouTube TV $72.99 100+ Yes

YouTube TV’s base plan includes NBC—the only subscription plan it offers. With the 100+ channel lineup, there are also plenty of other sports offerings, like NBA TV, TNT, Motortrend, and more. However, to get the Tennis Channel, you’ll need to pick up the Sports Extra add-on for another $11 per month. That’ll also get you PlayersTV, Fox Soccer Plus, PokerGO+, and more. 

With YouTube TV, you’ll also have Key Plays View, Fantasy Football View, and Stats View for enhanced viewing (and more in-depth viewing analysis while you watch your games and matchups). Plus, YouTube TV offers unlimited cloud DVR.

Watch on Peacock

Plan Cost per Month Channels Free Trial
Premium $5.99 50+ No
Premium Plus $11.99 50+ No

Because the French Open is available on NBC, it will also be available on Peacock — NBC’s streaming service. Peacock will give you access to live sporting events, including the French Open, that are available on NBC channels. This also gets you access to shows currently airing on NBC and Bravo, so if you need your “Real Housewives” fix, you’re all set. 

Bumping up to Premium Plus will get rid of the ads and allow you to download your shows and take them with you anywhere (some of them, anyway!).
