The Canadian Open 2025 live streams represent one of the best opportunities for the ATP and WTA Tours' top tennis stars to play themselves into form ahead of the upcoming US Open at the end of August. Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek lead the way for the women, while a few drop-outs in the men's singles leaves the draw wide open.

Read on and we'll show you how to watch the 2025 Canadian Open live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

The big news heading into the first of two ATP and WTA 1000 events in the North American hard court season is that the men's event will be without four of the world's top six players after Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Jack Draper and Novak Djokovic all pulled out citing a mixture of injury and fatigue.

That leaves Alexander Zverev and the in-form Taylor Fritz as the top seeds in Toronto, while Alex De Minaur will look to back up his win at last week's Washington Open with another strong display. Home hopefuls come in the form of Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov.

The women's event, held this year in Montreal, looks like being a straight fight between Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek, the two most recent grand slam champions. With Aryna Sabalenka prioritizing some time away from the court, French Open champion Gauff and Wimbledon winner Swiatek will look to steal a march on the world number one in the build-up to Flushing Meadows.

Teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva, who won Indian Wells back in the spring, will look to get back her early-season form, with the smart money on Elina Svitolina to continue her stellar 2025 by going deep.

Check out all of the TV and streaming details below to find out how to watch the 2025 Canadian Open from anywhere.

Tennis fans in the U.S. will need the Tennis Channel to watch the 2025 Canadian Open tournament.

The Tennis Channel is available through most cable packages as well as some of the best cable TV alternatives, including Sling TV, Fubo, and DirecTV Stream. Of these options, we recommend Sling and Fubo.

Sling TVSling Orange planSling Blue plan

Sling TV offers two primary packages: Sling Orange and Sling Blue, both starting at $45.99 per month. The Sling Orange plan includes over 30 channels, featuring ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3, making it ideal for sports enthusiasts. In contrast, the Sling Blue plan offers over 40 channels, including NBC and USA Network. To access the Tennis Channel for events like the Canadian Open, you’ll need the Sports Extra add-on, which costs an additional $11 per month when added to either the Orange or Blue plan.

Sky Sports will be showing all the action from the Canadian Open in the UK, so if you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. The games will be shown on Sky Sports Tennis.

Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £14.99 or month-long access for £34.99.

All sounds great, right? But if you're not in the UK, you can still follow the 2025 Canadian Open tournament live stream by using one of the best VPN services, such as NordVPN.
