Watch Miami Open 2026 live streams as the biggest names in tennis swap the U.S. west coast for the east in the second half of the Sunshine Double, from Florida. Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka won the titles in Indian Wells last week, while Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff will all hope to go deep.

Here’s how to watch 2026 Miami Open live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Miami Open 2026 live streams: TV schedule, dates

2026 Miami Open live streams run from Tuesday, Mar. 17 to Sunday, Mar. 29.
• FREE trials — Tennis Channel via YouTube TV, Fubo (U.S.) / beIN Sports (AUS)
• U.S. — Tennis Channel via Sling TV
• U.K.Sky Sports
• Watch anywhereTry NordVPN 100% risk free

Sinner won his first title of 2026 last week without dropping a set and will start Miami as a narrow favorite ahead of Alcaraz as a result. Sinner beat in-form Daniil Medvedev 7-6 7-6 in the final after the Russian had ended Alcaraz's 16-game winning start to the year in the last four.

Novak Djokovic won't serve it up, though, with the Serbian feeling the effects of a defeat by Jack Draper at Indian Wells meaning the 38-year-old is giving himself the tournament off. Jakub Mensik returns as defending champion, following his breakthrough tournament victory 12 months ago.

Sabalenka won the title in Florida last year and will return trying to complete the Sunshine Double for the first time in her career after taking home the trophy at Indian Wells last week. Only four women have ever backed the tournaments up – Steffi Graf (1994 and 1996), Kim Clijsters (2005), Victoria Azarenka (2016) and Iga Swiatek (2022) – and the Belarusian is determined to continue her fine start to 2026.

Swiatek will have a say about that, even if her form is not quite what it was. The Pole was beaten by Elena Rybakina last week and the Kazakh will be short money to go deep again in the Miami after winning the Australian Open earlier this year. Coco Gauff will have the American home crowd behind her, too.

Venus Williams has a wildcard for the tournament and the 45-year-old will face Britain's Fran Jones in the first round.

You won’t want to miss any of the action from the 13-day tournament, so here’s how you can live stream 2026 Miami Open tennis from anywhere in the world.
