World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will be aiming for a fourth Grand Slam title as he looks to dethrone defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in today’s highly anticipated French Open final at Roland-Garros.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the match as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it’s not available where you are.
Today’s match marks the first encounter between the two rivals in a major final. Alcaraz currently edges the head-to-heads, leading Sinner 7-4 in past match-ups, including an absorbing five-set win in last year’s semifinals at Roland-Garros.
Sinner, however, appears to be in arguably better form heading into today’s showdown. The Italian has cruised through the draw without dropping a set, defeating top-tier opponents such as Andrey Rublev and Novak Djokovic along the way.
Meanwhile, Alcaraz has looked every bit the defending champion, but has had to dig a little deeper on his return to the final at Roland-Garros. The Spaniard has dropped a set in three of his last four matches, while his semifinal clash with No. 8 Lorenzo Musetti had been shaping up to be a tough test before his Italian opponent was forced to retire in the fourth set with a thigh injury.
The 2025 French Open Men’s Final takes place on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland-Garros in Paris on Sunday, June 8. The game is set to get under way no earlier than 4 p.m. CET local time in France. This makes it a 10 a.m. ET or 7 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 3 p.m. BST start in the UK. For tennis fans in Australia, the match is set to get underway at 12 midnight AEST.

How to watch the French Open free from anywhere with a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the tournament locally, you may need a different way to watch — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks. Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the French Open using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming the tournament may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the «search for city or country» option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the match after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, as both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
