The 2024 French Open is nearing its conclusion, as the women’s final between top-seeded Iga Swiatek and Jasmine Paolini is set, while the men are down to the semifinals–Carlos Alcaraz vs. Jannik Sinner and Casper Ruud vs Alexander Zverev.
All of the remaining matches at Roland Garros will be televised on NBC in the United States. If you don’t have cable, though, we have a bevy of different ways you can watch a live stream of the 2024 French Open.
Sling TV‘s “Sling Blue” channel package includes NBC, although it’s only available in select markets. But if you do in fact live in one of these markets, then Sling is an excellent choice for watching a live stream of the French Open, as “Sling Blue” is currently on sale for just $30 for your first month. That’s far less expensive than any other live-TV streaming service that offers NBC.
If you also want to stream the NBA playoffs, the finals are all on ABC and ESPN3. The latter is available in the “Sling Orange” channel package, but even the “Sling Orange+Blue” bundle will run you just $45 for your first month, which is still cheaper than any other cable-replacing option.
If you haven’t used it before, the Fubo “Pro” plan includes NBC in most markets across the United States. It also comes with about 180-plus channels in total, which is why it’s significantly more expensive than Sling in the long-term. But it also comes with a seven-day free trial if you’re just interested in watching the rest of the French Open and then cancelling before having to pay anything.
You can get similar deals with YouTube TV (“Base Plan”) or DirecTV Stream (“Entertainment” plan or above), which offer NBC in most markets and each come with a free trial that will last for five days.
Any French Open match that is televised on NBC (which is the rest of the women’s and men’s singles matches) will also stream live on Peacock, which is either $6 per month or a limited-time deal of $20 for the year.
In other words, if you don’t want a cheap option that also has a variety of other live-TV channels (Sling), and you don’t need a free trial (Fubo, YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream), then Peacock is easily the best–and cheapest–way to watch a live stream of the rest of the French Open.
If you aren’t in the United States and don’t want to bother with international live-stream options, you can use a virtual private network (VPN) to connect to one of the aforementioned streaming services. NordVPN is a really solid choice, and it tops our list of the best VPN services for a number of reasons, plus it also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re feeling unsure about it.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
