The 2024 French Open will be played from May 26 through June 9, 2024. The competition will air on NBC, Tennis Channel and the platforms featured below, while some events will stream on Peacock.
How to watch the French Open without cable
If your cable company doesn’t carry NBC or Tennis Channel, or you’ve cut the cord with your cable company, you can watch the French Open on the platforms below.
Watch the French Open on Peacock
Peacock will broadcast exclusively certain parts of the 2024 French Open, while also offering coverage of some French Open events airing on NBC. The streaming service has plenty more live sports to offer, including Sunday Night Football and Peacock-exclusive NFL games next season, Big Ten football, Premier League soccer and WWE wrestling (including formerly PPV-only events such as WrestleMania). There are 80,000 hours worth of recorded content to watch as well, including hit movies and TV series such as “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation.”
A Peacock subscription costs $6 per month. An annual plan is available for $60 per year. You can cancel anytime.
Top features of Peacock:
- Peacock is the only way to watch certain events of this year’s French Open.

Stream the French Open on Sling TV for half price
NBC is included in most cable TV packages. If you don’t have cable TV that includes NBC, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream live tennis airing on NBC this year is through a subscription to Sling TV. The streamer offers access to the French Open, NFL Network, local NBC, Fox and ABC affiliates (where available) and ESPN with its Orange + Blue Tier plan. Also worth noting: Sling TV comes with 50 hours of cloud-based DVR recording space included, perfect for recording all the season’s top NFL matchups.
That plan normally costs $60 per month, but the streamer is currently offering a 50% off promotion for your first month, so you’ll pay just $30. You can learn more by tapping the button below.

Watch the French Open live with a digital HDTV antenna
Amazon
If you’re cutting the cord to your cable company, you’re not alone; in fact, you are in luck. You can still watch the NFL on TV with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDYC channels such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, Univision and more. Here’s the kicker: There’s no monthly charge.
For anyone living in a partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal — or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch the French Open on NBC without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable (or your cable company gets in a squabble with a network).
This amplified digital antenna can receive hundreds of HD TV channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox and Univision and can filter out cellular and FM signals. It has a 50-miles range and delivers a high-quality picture in 4K, UHD and 1080 HDTV, top-tier sound and features a 10-foot digital coax cable. This Amazon best-selling antenna is available for $19.
Who’s competing in the French Open?
In addition to Djokovic, Swiatek, Gauff and Carols Alcaraz, scheduled players at this year’s French Open include Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Elena Rybakina.
