How to Stream Tennis on a TV from a Phone or Laptop

Choose the official stream for your tournament and country, then use the TV app if available or cast from a compatible phone or laptop.

First find the official live or replay option for the tournament you want in your country; no single service carries all tennis. Then use that service’s TV app if your television supports it, or cast from a phone or laptop using a method the service supports.

Choose the right stream for your tournament and country

Broadcast rights vary by tournament and territory. Check the tournament’s official watch or broadcast page, or the relevant tour’s schedule, before installing an app or subscribing. For example, the US Open’s official broadcaster list names ESPN for the United States and different partners in other territories: US Open broadcasters. The ATP schedule lists event broadcasters and directs viewers to Tennis TV for ATP live streams: ATP Tour tournament schedule.

Tennis TV is the ATP Tour’s official live video service, not an all-tennis pass. Its Premium service includes live matches and replays; Tennis TV says it offers up to 2,500 live matches per year from ATP Tour tournaments. That is the service’s own coverage figure, not a count of all professional tennis. Some daily highlights, features, hot shots and post-match interviews are available without Premium. Check the event and your location before relying on it for a particular match.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Other services may combine access through a TV provider, paid streaming, and selected free matches or replays. For instance, Tennis Channel describes those options on its watch page. Availability and plans differ; verify current access and pricing on the service’s own page.

Check whether your TV can run the chosen service

Before casting or buying equipment, look for the service’s app in your television’s app store and check its supported-device list. Tennis TV lists viewing options including Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, Chromecast, Android TV, Samsung and LG smart TVs, as well as TCL and VIZIO televisions. Exact compatibility depends on the service and device model. See Tennis TV’s supported devices.

If the app is available, install it on the TV, sign in, and start the match there. This avoids relying on a phone or computer to keep a cast session running. A compatible streaming receiver is useful only when the TV lacks both the service app and a supported casting option.

Stream from a phone

  1. Confirm app compatibility. Check that the tennis service supports your phone and the TV or receiver you plan to use. Tennis TV lists Android phones with Chromecast among its supported combinations; do not assume every app and device pairing works the same way.
  2. Put both devices on the same Wi-Fi network. The phone and Cast receiver or TV generally need to be on the same network for discovery. Enable Local Network access for the app if your phone requests it.
  3. Open the match in the service app. Start playback, tap the app’s Cast button if one is offered, and select your television or receiver.
  4. If the TV does not appear, check the service’s help page. The app may not support casting, or local-network permissions or Wi-Fi setup may prevent discovery. Use the TV app or another supported viewing route instead.

Google’s instructions for casting from a Cast-enabled app are at Google Cast Help; whether a specific tennis app provides that control is app-specific.

Stream from a laptop

If the service supports browser playback, open its website on the laptop. Tennis TV supports PC and Mac viewing through its website. Prefer the player’s own Cast control if it provides one. Direct casting from the player is distinct from projecting a whole browser tab, and is the better route when the service offers it.

As a fallback, Chrome can cast a tab or the computer screen to a compatible Chromecast, Google TV Streamer, or television with Google Cast. Google requires an updated Chrome browser, a strong connection, and the computer and receiver on the same Wi-Fi network. To cast:

  1. Open the stream in Chrome and select the three-dot menu.
  2. Choose Cast, save, and share, then Cast.
  3. Select the TV or receiver. Choose the stream tab or screen as appropriate.

Tab casting depends on the computer remaining active. Google notes that on macOS 15 or later, Chrome needs permission in system settings to cast. Follow Google’s current steps at Cast a Chrome tab or screen.

Decide whether you need a streaming receiver

You may need an external receiver if the TV does not have the chosen service’s app and cannot receive a supported cast. Chromecast is one compatible route listed by Tennis TV, and Google documents Chrome casting to Chromecast and compatible Google TV devices. Check your exact television, receiver model, service support and network setup before buying; the right choice depends on what you already own.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

If the TV already runs the service app or has compatible Cast support, an extra receiver is unnecessary. Do not assume a phone-to-TV cable or adapter will work: compatibility depends on the device ports and the streaming service, and there is no universal fit.

Your setup Route to try What to verify
TV has the event service’s app Install the app and watch directly on the TV. That the service carries the event in your country and your account has the required access.
Phone and a supported Cast receiver or TV Use the tennis app’s Cast button, if available. App support, same Wi-Fi network, and local-network permission where required.
Laptop and a Cast-compatible TV or receiver Use the player’s Cast control; otherwise try Chrome tab or screen casting. Updated Chrome, same strong Wi-Fi network, compatible receiver, and any required macOS permission.
TV lacks the app and Cast support Consider a compatible streaming receiver. Exact device-model and service compatibility before purchase.

Check subscription access before match time

Tennis TV says Premium is required for its live matches and replays, with monthly, six-month and annual passes. Its free features do not mean every live match is free. Other providers may require a TV-provider login or paid streaming plan, while making selected coverage free. Plans and prices can change, so confirm current terms directly with the provider before subscribing.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
