Want to know where to watch Djokovic vs. Alcaraz for free? Well, you're in luck, as we can help you tune into a free option from anywhere in the world thanks to the magic of VPNs. We can also provide local options with some top-notch US Open live streaming services lined up for you.
This is one heck of a semifinal, as Novak Djokovic seems to have found his form just in time for the year's final Grand Slam. Carlos Alcaraz will be the favorite, but he certainly won't be taking the Serbian legend lightly, given Novak won their last two outings, most recently at the Australian Open, and the Olympics final last summer.
A quick tip: these same viewing options will cover you for the other men's semifinal tonight, so stick around for Sinner vs. Auger-Aliassime as well. Better yet, you'll also be able to access the women's final on Saturday and the men's on Sunday.
How to watch Djokovic vs. Alcaraz for free
A few regions offer select US Open programming for free. In Australia, fans can live stream select matches, like the Djokovic vs. Alcaraz match, for free via 9Now. In the US, ESPN viewing options are available in five-day free trials through live TV streaming services like DirecTV and Fubo.
How to watch Djokovic vs. Alcaraz from anywhere
If you're away from Australia right now, you can still tune into your free streaming option with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are handy tech tools that allow you to change your virtual location so your go-to websites and apps work from anywhere. They're popular services for those hoping to keep up with their usual services while traveling abroad or looking to upgrade their cybersecurity.
NordVPN is our top recommendation. It's a user-friendly option (even for beginners) and has an impressive suite of cybersecurity features. Plus, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find that it's not what you're looking for. You can learn more in our NordVPN review.
How to watch Djokovic vs. Alcaraz in the US
ESPN (via ESPN, ABC, and other related networks) is the broadcast home of the US Open in the United States. Matches will be available in full through the new ESPN streaming service. Plans range from $12 a month for ESPN Select to $30 a month for ESPN Unlimited. Annual versions are also available.
Both tiers should have US Open coverage, but Unlimited unlocks lots of extra coverage and full live streams from flagship networks. You can learn more in our ESPN streaming service guide and check out a limited-time deal when you bundle ESPN Unlimited with Disney Plus and Hulu. However, if you're only interested in the US Open, then ESPN Select will do the trick.
If you're looking for an even more comprehensive sports streaming option, a month-to-month live TV streaming service such as DirecTV or Fubo can help. DirecTV MySports, the service's new genre pack, includes 20+ popular sports channels traditionally found in cable packages and access to the ESPN streaming service app. Subscriptions cost $70 a month and come with a five-day free trial for new customers. Right now, users can also get $10 a month off their first two months of service.
Fubo is another solid sports-friendly live TV streaming service with access to ABC and all of the necessary ESPN networks, in addition to more than 200 other live channels. Subscribing to Fubo will also unlock access to the new ESPN Unlimited app. Fubo Pro subscriptions start at $85 a month (plus a little bit more with required regional sports fees), but new users can get $30 off their first month of service after a five-day free trial. There's also a brand-new Fubo Sports package, which costs $56 a month, although it's only available in select markets right now.
How to watch Djokovic vs. Alcaraz in the UK
The US Open will be available through Sky Sports in the UK. Subscription prices vary depending on which bundle and long-term contract you sign up for, but the cheapest plans with Sky Sports start at £35 a month. You can learn more in our guide to the best Sky TV deals and plans. There's also an option to stream Sky Sports through Now, which offers some additional plan flexibility.
How to watch Djokovic vs. Alcaraz in Australia
