How to watch Tennis Channel from anywhere in the United States and territories
You can access this channel in the following ways while in the country:
1. Cable and satellite
The channel is included in specific packages or add-ons on virtually every major U.S. multichannel video programming distributor. Expect to pay either as part of a mid/high tier or a sports add-on. They include:
- DirecTV: DirecTV’s Signature packages range from $60 to $125 per month, depending on tier. If your base package doesn’t include Tennis Channel, the DIRECTV Sports Pack add-on is $14.99 a month.
- DISH Network: The platform package pricing varies, but expect to pay between $90 and $125 per month. The Tennis Channel is included in a couple of the bundles offered. DISH is a good pick if you want a satellite combo and fixed two-year price guarantees.
- Xfinity: This broadcaster has this channel in all the regions where it is available in the US. Pricing varies by area code and the bundle you select. Hence, you’ll need to check their site for the exact channel and package price in your local area.
- Charter Spectrum: Spectrum lists Tennis Channel in its HD lineups for many areas. Spectrum’s cable packages and prices vary by region; Spectrum advertises no-contract options and localized channel lookup tools. If you have Spectrum internet, adding TV to your Spectrum is often straightforward.
- Smaller regional and local cable operators: Many regional MSOs and local cable systems include Tennis Channel in their sports/commercial packages. You’ll need to check the operator’s current channel guide; the channel is widely distributed but not guaranteed to be available in every market.
2. Streaming platforms
Several live-TV streaming services carry the Tennis Channel. This is either as part of their base plans or as a sports add-on.
Here is how to watch Tennis Channel from anywhere in the US without cable:
- YouTube TV: The base plan costs around $82.99 per month. The Tennis Channel is available through the Sports Plus add-on. YouTube TV’s strengths are a large base bundle, unlimited DVR, and wide device support. The downside is the extra cost of Sports Plus for channels like Tennis Channel.
- Hulu + Live TV: Live TV plans cost about $83 per month for standard Live TV packages. Hulu’s strengths include its integrated on-demand library and DVR capabilities. The Tennis Channel is not available on Hulu’s on-demand plans, so you need the Live TV tier.
- Fubo: Plans for sports fans typically range from $85 to $95, depending on tier and add-ons. Fubo is very sports-heavy, and Tennis Channel is included in normal channel lineups.
- Sling TV: This platform carries the Tennis Channel as part of its Sports Extra add-on, available on Sling Blue or Blue+Orange combos. Sling’s pricing is variable: Sling Select $19.99, Orange/Blue combos $45.99; Sports Extra is typically about $11 extra or $15 when added to Orange+Blue as the provider lists.
- DIRECTV STREAM: Reflects similar channel carriage to DirecTV satellite. Tennis Channel is available in the Ultimate and Choice tiers. Base packages vary: Entertainment, $79.99; Choice, $59.99; and Ultimate, $84.99.
- Tennis Channel platform or app: Another way to watch Tennis Channel from anywhere is through their official app. The pricing is $9.99 per month. The annual plan costs about $109.99. If you already pay for a cable or streaming provider that carries Tennis Channel, you can authenticate within the platform and watch without paying.
