Tennis TV Coverage: Does It Include Every Tournament?

When you fire up Tennis TV you expect to catch every match that matters. But does the service really stream all the tournaments, from the slams to the low‑key ITF events? Let’s break down exactly what’s on‑air, where the gaps are, and how to make sure you never miss a serve.

What is Tennis TV?

Tennis TV is the official live‑streaming platform of the ATP Tour, offering on‑demand and real‑time coverage of men’s professional tennis events worldwide. It launched in 2018 and quickly became the go‑to service for fans who want high‑definition streams without a cable subscription. The platform is accessible via web browsers, mobile apps, and Smart TV channels, and it supports multi‑camera angles for many matches.

Which Tournaments Are Covered?

To answer the headline question, we need to look at each tier of professional tennis.

• Grand Slam tournaments - Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open - are broadcast live on Tennis TV for all main‑draw matches. Qualifying rounds are also available in most cases.
• ATP Tour events - the 250, 500, and Masters 1000 series - are fully covered. You’ll find live streams for every first‑round match and a full archive for replays.
• WTA Tour events - from International to Premier and the new WTA 1000 series - are included after the ATP secured a joint streaming agreement in 2022.
• Davis Cup ties - the men’s national team competition - are streamed live, though some early‑round matches may be delayed for rights reasons.
• Laver Cup - the exhibition team event featuring top ATP players - is part of the standard package.
• Mixed‑team events like the Hopman Cup are occasionally added, but coverage can be spotty depending on the year’s broadcasting deals.
• Lower‑level competitions such as ITF Futures and World TeamTennis are generally not included in the base subscription.

In short, the marquee events are there, but the deep‑level circuits often require a different platform.

Where Tennis TV Falls Short

Even if you’re a hardcore fan, you’ll notice a few blind spots.

1. ITF Futures and Challenger tournaments are not streamed. Those matches are usually available on regional federation websites or YouTube channels.
2. Qualifying rounds for some Grand Slams (especially Wimbledon) may be delayed or only available as highlight reels.
3. Women’s lower‑tier events (WTA 125) are occasionally omitted, though most Premier and WTA 1000 matches are live.
4. National team events outside the Davis Cup, such as the Fed Cup (now Billie Jean King Cup), may have limited live coverage.

If you’re chasing an up‑and‑coming junior or a local challenger, you’ll need to supplement Tennis TV with another service.

How to Verify Coverage Before You Subscribe

Don’t guess - check the official schedule.

• Visit the ATP Tour website and look for the “Live on Tennis TV” badge next to each tournament.
• Open the Tennis TV app and navigate to the “Events” tab. The calendar view highlights green (live) versus gray (unavailable) events.
• Read the FAQs on the Tennis TV support page - they list the current season’s covered tournaments in a downloadable PDF.
• Check tennis forums (e.g., Reddit’s r/tennis) for user‑generated coverage lists. Fans often share real‑time updates when a tournament drops off.

These steps save you from paying for a subscription that doesn’t include the matches you care about.

Alternatives and Complementary Services

If you discover a gap, you have a few options.

Most fans use a combo: Tennis TV for the big shows, plus a free ITF or federation feed for the deep‑level matches. If you’re based in Australia, the Nine Network also streams the Australian Open live without a subscription.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Tennis TV

• Enable the “Add to Calendar” feature inside the app - it pushes reminders for each match you follow.
• Use the multi‑camera option on Grand Slam finals to watch from the player’s perspective.
• Download matches when you’re on Wi‑Fi; the app stores up to 48 hours of replays for offline viewing.
• If you experience buffering, switch the stream quality from “HD Auto” to “720p” - the trade‑off is minimal on most screens.
• Pair Tennis TV with a free VPN when traveling abroad if the service is geo‑blocked in your current location.

Quick Takeaways

• Tennis TV covers every ATP event, all four Grand Slams, most WTA tournaments, Davis Cup, and the Laver Cup.
• ITF Futures, most Challenger matches, and lower‑tier WTA events are not included.
• Check the official ATP calendar or the app’s event list before you sign up.
• Combine Tennis TV with free ITF streams or local federation sites for total coverage.
