The 2024 Billie Jean King Cup comes to an end with a final showdown between Slovakia and Italy. We'll show you where to watch the Billie Jean King Cup final, including global live streaming options.
It's a familiar scene for both Slovakia and Italy as they enter the final at the Billie Jean King Cup. Italy are vying for their fifth title after falling to Canada in the final last year. This would be their first title since 2013. If Slovakia wins, this will be the country's second-ever title at the competition after winning the tournament in 2002. Italy's Jasmine Paolini has had an impressive run at the tournament. Although she ultimately fell to Iga Swiatek in a singles semi-final match, she and Sara Errani were able to help push Italy past Poland in a doubles match against Swiatek and Katarzyna Kawa.
Below, you can find everything you need to know about tuning into the final. The Billie Jean King Cup viewing options are similar to those of the men's Davis Cup, so any potential delays in coverage will be the result of the other tennis tournament.
Where to watch the Billie Jean King Cup in the US
The Billie Jean King Cup Final airs on the Tennis Channel in the US, which is available to live stream through a month-to-month live TV streaming package like Sling TV, Fubo, or DirecTV Stream. All three options rank among our list of the best sports streaming services and are great ways to watch year-round tennis.
Sling is the cheapest of the three options. The Tennis Channel is available with the Sports Extra add-on ($11 per month), which can be tacked onto either of the Sling base plans ($40 per month). This will run you $51 per month, but Sling typically runs a promo that will shave a few bucks off of your first month of service. Sling's base plans carry anywhere from 35 to 45 live channels, and the Sports Extra adds 10-12 more options.
DirecTV Stream and Fubo may be more expensive than Sling, but the services offer over double the number of live channels. To access the Tennis Channel on DirecTV Stream, you'll need to get the Entertainment + Sports Pack plan, which normally costs $101.98 per month. Signing up right now, customers can get $15 per month waived on their first two months, effectively knocking off the price of the Sports Pack add-on for two months. New customers can also try out DirecTV Stream for free for five days. For Fubo, accessing the Tennis Channel requires subscribing to the Elite with Sports Plus plan, which costs $99.99 per month. New customers can get a one-week free trial and save $20 on their first month of service.
