Tennis on Telly suggest that Sky will be showing everything that Prime has been covering this year. Here is an extract from Lee's webpage:-

Will Sky Sports be showing all ATP and WTA events at all levels?

Sky Sports' coverage of the ATP and WTA tours includes all 250, 500 and 1000-level events on both tours, which is more than 80 tournaments. The rights exclude domestic tournaments, so don't include the British grass court events before Wimbledon.

Will Sky Sports have all-court coverage of their tournaments?

It's expected that Sky Sports will have all-court coverage of all tournaments, either on its linear channels or streaming services. On Now TV, bonus channel coverage may be platform dependant as it was with the US Open 2023. All-court coverage is dependant on the coverage being made available by the tour; in the past only show court singles at ATP 250 events have been made available to broadcasters and there is no indication that this will change.

Not having all-court coverage would be a significant step back from Prime Video's coverage and it would be disappointing if the tours had agreed a broadcast deal with less coverage.

 

Further information here

 Yes but at £34 a month? My gripe is I dont follow football or rugby I just want tennis. I think Eurosport may be a cheaper streaming  option.

But it is not on Eurosport/Discovery is it? Its on Sky.

The best/cheapest way is possibly through Now TV, although we are on a bit of an unknown what the multi court coverage is going to be like.

Edit: What Paulsi said. 

 A friend confirmed what Wolf said - definitely sign up to Sky through Now TV as this offers a lot more flexibility with monthly and even day pass options. Also Sky keep sneaking up the cost of her monthly payments bleh 

Even looking at the best deals on Now, its still expensive but there doesnt seem any other option for most of the tennis coverage hmm

Whatever the coverage looks like we all know it will a) not be as good and b) more expensive than on Amazon. Unfortunate.

Does anyone use a VPN ?

To access European Eurosport ? Or any other better provider?

I've always used Amazon Prime in the UK

But I won't subscribe to Sky

And I've heard some VPNs are better than others for Eurosport (although I don't know why this would be the case)

 Thank you, seagull - I will  

(Coz the firestick might help me stream but won't get round the VPN issue, will it?) 

Just for general info for others, French Eurosport is very good for tennis, if you want tennis, but don't care too much about commentary (or unless you're happy with French commentary). Very cheap. All the matches. Easy to use. etc etc. Really miss it in the UK (although Amazon Prime is decent). But Sky is just a killer.....

Ive never had Sky, dont think I ever will , I would not use it. My life is complicated enough with Prime and Netflix and thats the lot. Apart from Freeview of course. Too little time for other channels or streamers , sadly. So tennis will have to give - although I dont watch hardly any now to be honest! Going forwards, it feels like the grass season and whatever BBC or ITV show every now and then!

 On the fire stick you sideload apps which give you access to feeds of every channel there is.

Had confirmation that there will be no multi-court choice on Sky Sports this week. They will feature Brisbane matches primarily but will also show Emma Raducanu's matches from Auckland on Sky Sports Mix or Arena.
