Will the controversial mixed doubles have any bearing on the final grand slam of the year? Many of the world's top players, including Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek, Novak Djokovic and Jessica Pegula, were showered with cash in the pre-tournament exhibition — at the expense of doubles specialists — and there's a suspicion that it could breed apathy at the US Open proper.
Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Jannik Sinner and Alex de Minaur are just a few notable names that stayed away, and they'll need no further incentive to topple their colleagues at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Read on as we explain how to watch US Open 2025 on Sling from anywhere in the world.
What US Open 2025 action can I watch on Sling?
ESPN has “first ball to last ball” coverage of the 2025 US Open, with select matches — including the men's and women's singles finals, all four singles semi-finals and all eight singles quarter-finals — being televised on ESPN and ESPN2.
Both ESPN and ESPN2 are carried by Sling. It isn't the only over-the-top streamer to carry both channels, but it is the most cost-efficient option and one of the best streaming services to subscribe to right now.
Best Sling deals for watching US Open 2025
You'll need the Orange plan to watch the US open on Sling. It carries ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and ESPN 4K, plus Comedy Central, Freeform, Nick Jr., Travel Channel, TNT and TBS.
Sling Orange costs $45.99 per month, but you have other options with Sling's brand-new redefining passes that includes daily ($4.99/day), weekend ($9.99/weekend) and weekly ($14.99/week) options.
Watch Sling from anywhere in the world
Sling only works in the U.S., which means that even if you're a paying customer, the moment you leave the country geo-restrictions will come into effect and prevent you from using your subscription to watch the US Open.
A good VPN, however, will allow you to access all of the services you subscribe to from anywhere in the world. Our testing has revealed NordVPN to be the best VPN.
It's really easy to use a VPN to watch US Open 2025.
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 want to watch ESPN's US Open coverage, select 'United States'.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling, sign in, and watch the US Open live.
