2023, Where to follow tennis on TV and Livescores

[Sallydaisy]

2021
Time for a NEW thread to keep us up to date with TV coverage and live-scoring!
We'll add more information as it becomes available or changes.

LIVESCORING - ***UPDATE***
For those not already aware - the very useful App for all ATP/WTA tournaments has stopped. See extract from media at the bottom of this post.

There is an App for ATP livescores here: https://www.atptour.com/en/apps
You can also access Livescores on the ATP website - there is a Black drop across box at the bottom of the main screen for "SCORES" and "LATEST" .

The WTA doesn't currently have a Livescore App so you can only follow matches via Livescores on their website page.

***NEW LIVESCORE APP***
TNNS, available though your App Store, covers ATP/WTA and Grand Slams


MEANWHILE - you can try these sources: Flash Score, Resultina, Tennis One


WATCHING TENNIS

GRAND SLAMS:
Australian Open - Eurosport (pcm fee)
French Open - Eurosport (pcm fee)
Wimbledon - BBC1, BBC2, red button (600/601) and sometimes BBC4 (and i-player)
US Open - tbc

ATP - most events are now covered on Amazon Prime (pcm fee)
WTA - most events will now be available on Amazon Prime (pcm fee)
Amazon Prime is has gained the rights to most of the ATP and all WTA main events so it may be worth signing up for it to follow the majority of tennis this year. It looks as though they're committed to the 1000s and 500s but not all the 250s.

Link to FAQs and List of tournaments covered:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=16184708031

Challenger events can be followed on Challenger TV most weeks on the ATP website for free (camera angles limited!)

CANCELLATION OF THE ATP/WTA APP (|ProTennisLive) 24.12.20
There is uproar from avid tennis fans on learning that the popular ATP/WTA Live Scores App, the game’s leading leading mobile results app, is being axed for 2021. The App, produced by EDH Tennis Limited, was launched a few years ago and is available in 19 different languages on the Apple store, serving as the official live scoring app for both the ATP and WTA Tours, as well as providing play schedules and match stats for all the pro tournaments. Despite its popularity, tennis chiefs have decided to scrap the App because of ‘changes to the data feed’, which apparently make it no longer feasible.

“The ATP and WTA have announced the discontinuation of the ATP/WTA Live Scores App across all mobile and desktop platforms. As a result of changes made to the data feed, the app is no longer able to support the technical requirements of both the ATP and WTA,” a statement reads. “From today, mobile users will be redirected to the official ATP App, the home of ATP Live Scores which offers an enhanced user experience, and to a dedicated WTA Live Scoring page on wtatennis.com. “The ATP and WTA remain committed to exploring opportunities for alignment across digital products.”

Thanks Jan, I suspect that's what I access using the drop across box but I've seen that there's also an App. I'll add some links as and when I find things.

If anyone wants to add links or price information I'll add to the first post.
We'll probably keep general chat off this thread so it's easy for folks to find information.

Here is a list of tournaments covered by Amazon Prime in 2021

https://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=16184708031

[Sallydaisy]

Thanks Cazza, that's most of the ATP and all the WTA main events.

I think it is some of the 250 events that Prime are not covering.

edit. I think they have amended this list since I posted - a few more of the 250s that are on soon are now on there.

edit again. Need to look at the far right column. As it says Y or N depending on if covered by Amazon Prime. There are lots of 250 tournaments listed but have an "N" in the right hand column so they are not being covered.

I read that the plan is they cover all ATP but there are possibly still some television rights needing to expire before they can do that? Can't remember where I read it though ...

Tour Calendar to the end of Wimbledon - and broadcast coverage
Tennis on Telly has an update on ALL ATP/WTA/Challenger events planned for the first half of 2021. There have been a few cancellations and a couple to be confirmed. Also, he lists which broadcaster is covering each tournament. I need to update the first post because Eurosport now have the French Open (rather than ITV4).

:confused:

I think Amazon Prime are doing the same that Sky did. US Open, 1000 Master series, most 500s and a few 250s. It would be great if they started covering the other 250s too.

Hi everyone! Not checked in for a while ...

Not sure if posted elsewhere and I’m sure most people are aware now but there is another app now which covers livescores from ATP and WTA and unlike the old one, also Grans Slams. It’s called TNNS and available though your App Store.

Apologies if already posted and please delete if it is.

EDIT: Also, just to say for anyone who doesn’t want the free delivery, books etc from Amazon, you can get just the prime video for £5.99 a month instead of £7.99

[Sallydaisy]

Brilliant! Thanks Caro - that's all really useful, I'll update the first post.

UPDATE ON HOW TO WATCH TENNIS - from the ever reliable Tennis on Telly

Grand Slams
Australian Open, is exclusively live on Eurosport, BBC has some highlights week 2.
French Open live on Eurosport in full from qualifying week; there is single-court-coverage on ITV.
Wimbledon is shown free on the BBC with all courts streamed online + selected qualifying matches.
The US Open is on Amazon Prime Video with qualifying and all-court coverage available.

ATP Tour
You will still have a choice between Amazon Prime Video and Tennis TV for men's tour tennis. Tennis TV will have coverage from every ATP event while Amazon Prime Video's deal includes all of the Masters 1000 and 500 tournaments plus approximately thirteen 250 events.

If they take place, the ATP Cup, will be included in Amazon Prime Video's coverage, while the
ATP tournament in Adelaide will come under Eurosport's deal with Tennis Australia.
Eurosport also had coverage from Geneva in 2019.

The tournament at the Queen's Club in London will be on the BBC.

The ATP only make doubles matches available to broadcasters at Masters 1000 tournaments.

WTA TOUR
The only place to watch the majority of the WTA Tour will continue to be on Amazon Prime Video as WTA TV is not available in the United Kingdom. Amazon Prime Video will have all singles and doubles matches at the WTA tournaments it covers.

Notable exceptions to Amazon Prime Video's WTA coverage are expected to include Nuremberg and Linz, plus British events in Nottingham, Birmingham and Eastbourne where rights are sold separately and these are expected to continue on Eurosport.

Other events
The Olympic Games will be broadcast for free by the BBC and September's Laver Cup in Boston will be shown by Amazon Prime Video.

Great Britain's tie with Mexico in the Billie Jean King Cup - the new name for the Fed Cup - will be on the BBC, but there is no information on other ties and the finals which were postponed from 2020.

Eurosport secured a 2-year deal for the Davis Cup Finals in 2019 and, with 2020's event postponed, this is expected to continue into 2021.

ATP Challenger tournaments and many ITF-level events are streamed for free online. The higher levels of these events in the UK are expected to be available on the BBC's online channels, and almost all domestic competitions are streamed on the LTA's social media channels.

What to subscribe to:
By far the cheapest way to watch most tour tennis is to take a subscription to Amazon Prime for the year at £79. If you aren't interested in all the perks of Amazon Prime and just have the Video option that's £5.99 per month and works out slightly cheaper over the year.

If you are interested in watching more ATP 250 tournaments than are offered by Amazon Prime Video, you will also need a Tennis TV subscription on top of this but for most people, Amazon Prime Video's ATP coverage will be sufficient.
For the Australian Open and French Open, you'll need a subscription to Eurosport Player for full coverage. This currently costs £39.99 for a year's pass or £6.99 per month. If Eurosport retain the rights to the British grass court WTA events and Linz, you'll need this subscription for four full months. For the Davis Cup finals you'll need a fifth. If you keep Eurosport for six months, for example if you are interested in other sports shown on their channels, then the year's pass becomes cheaper (unless there are other offers available). Eurosport Player is available standalone or as an add-on channel in Amazon Prime Video (https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F34kaBeg&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHf_LrEYCtPElywsMav9gZ9NA0wJQ).

Our calculations put the cost of watching tennis in 2021 at £100.84 (11 months Amazon Prime Video + 5 months Eurosport Player), no change from 2020.

Remember you’ll need a TV licence to watch Eurosport, the BBC and ITV in the UK, even online.

BBC website for me, usually. Can watch multiple matches at once. There was a point last week when I had 4 windows open on the screen :rolling:

[goldfish]

Will have to try that next time. I had the TV, my iPad, Fentiger’s iPad and my iPhone and that still wasn’t enough at one point. It was so hard to keep up with all the Brits at once but a great evening.

[Sallydaisy]

Today at Wimbledon was on the BBC2 schedule for 22.00 but it's now disappeared.

Disappointed not being able to watch Andy's match against Sinner, l am thinking of getting Bet365 for the rest of the tournament.

Can someone tell me how it works ? How do you set it up, do you have to watch on laptop or can you watch on TV, do you have to watch match live or are you able to record or watch match replay, thanks

Hi Jackie, I have bet365 and I only ever got it, years ago now, for watching Andy. You must deposit at least £10 but then you don’t need to use this. Just keep that balance and you can watch matches. They are only available live and I watch on my windows laptop or iPad. It should work on a smart tv but I haven’t tried. It is hard to get it full screen and requires a lot of jiggling but I’m still happy with it when I have no other choice. You need to give credit card details which I worried about originally but I’ve had no problems. It’s still a bit weird for me to have a betting account :rolling:

Having said all that, I think Stockholm is also on tennis.tv but I’m not sure how it works.

[jackie55]

Great, thanks Banskogirl for your help and information, l will try set it up later today, like you l am not a betting person, but willing to give it a go for Andy!!

[RosieBear]

Can confirm TennisTv are showing Stockholm. Easy to subscribe. I went for the £9.99 for a month option. Just set a reminder to cancel.

Thanks, once again, do you have to watch it live or, if unable to, can you watch match replay?

[RosieBear]

No problem. There is a replay option if the match is at a time you're unable to watch live.

Great. TennisTV seems to be not working on my smart TV or on my Firestick. On Firestick it says this version does not work. Update coming later.

They changed some things a few weeks ago and I was instructed to change my password on the login on their website.

I do not have a smart tv but it works for me on laptop and on iPad

[cazza99]

TennisTV works for me on my laptop too but I want to watch the tennis in bed on my TV. I find a laptop too small for viewing tennis, and it is a hassle connecting to TV all the time.

[cazza99]

Just checked TennisTV website. There are some changes.


It turns out that tennisTV is returning to Samsung TVs sometime in February.

They just say amazon fire TV update coming soon.

It has been discontinued on some devices such as googleplay and android TVs - "due to a change in their technical providers"

I have contacted their support team for more info.

[Speedy Hawk]

Seems Eurosport player going away and it be part of discovery plus. Just found out last night when trying to pay month for Aussie open. Had to create new account etc.

[cazza99]

BBC is doing a one hour summary program on the Australian Open every day on BBC1 or BBC2.

[JAMES4578]

Apparently Sky Sports look set to regain exclusive rights to the Us Open tennis from Prime in 2023, the ATP and WTA contracts up for renewal in 2024 Sky Sports Set To Regain US Open Tennis (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/us-open-to-return-to-sky-sports-after-emma-raducanus-unlikely-victory-50h9769wb). May not be able to read full article if not a Times subscriber but free trials available.

Yes have just seen this on Twitter. Not good news for me. Too much money and not enough for it. At least with Prime there are other bonuses.

I agree!

[cazza99]

It looks like amazon had said they re not going to continue with the tennis, before Sky has said they are going to take over.



Something else at the end of the article indicates that ITV contract for Roland Garros terminated last year. I like their coverage. I hope they renew.


Eurosport has the exclusive rights to show both the Australian Open and the French Open, after ITV’s deal with Roland Garros chiefs ended in 2021 after ten years.

[JAMES4578]

I do not think ITV involved now https://sport-onthebox.com/2021/06/11/eurosport-discovery-roland-garros-french-open-tennis-uk-tv-rights-2022-2026/

[Stell]

Typical!!

[Speedy Hawk]

Not surprised that Sky planning get tennis back from Amazon. Amazon done poor job with tennis streaming cos they are so hard to find and there so many complaints about it online even though they did improve last year but still not as good to find matches you want watch etc like Tennis TV or Eurosport or BBC (with Wimbledon).

It shame cos I can deal with rubbish layout format from Amazon cos it got other benefits other things to watch films and TV series, I can binge watch series before month is up, it is much better deal than Eurosport. I never see tennis on Sky since I don't know anyone have Sky.

[cazza99]

I could cope with finding them on amazon once I got used to it, but I got fed up with having to press the button lots of times to actually get the match playing once found.

Only having Amazon on iPad that seems very simple compared to the latest version of TennisTV which I would only use now for matches not on Amazon such as some from Marrakesh this week. I have never had Sky.

[pabbers]

At least on Amazon you could watch all the matches on TV including doubles.

[banskogirl]

Plus you don’t need to record 3 channels to get one match! Eurosport and bbc are a disaster at moving matches.

[Speedy Hawk]

If you watching bbc1 and bbc2 yeah this will happen but if you pick court on bbc you won’t miss match. It depends how you pick to watch match.

Yes just easier hiding from scores and watching on prime.

[Caro]

The RG dilemma … do I get discovery+ through Amazon so I can watch on the big screen? Or via discovery direct? If I go direct I can’t watch on big TV as my LG doesn’t support the discovery app. If I go for via prime, does anyone know how the heck to subscribe?? I did it for AO but can’t for the life of me work out how to do it now!

Hi Caro, do you mean how to join Prime? If so just log in to Amazon and you can pick one month at £5.99 (usually).

[Sallydaisy]

Prime Video have confirmed they have not got the rights to show WTA Nottingham, Birmingham and Eastbourne. Awaiting details of who will show these tournaments. Prime Video will show ATP matches in Eastbourne, the BBC have secondary rights to show selected WTA Eastbourne matches.

[Speedy Hawk]

Does anyone know if use Amazon Video free 30 days trial and subscribe Discovery+ for £6.99 will work? Not paying Amazon Video Prime part.

Edit: Apparently you can.

[Rosalind]

Hi Caro, do you mean how to join Prime? If so just log in to Amazon and you can pick one month at £5.99 (usually).

Apologies to be a bit behind with this - so if I subscribe to Amazon Prime for one month, then subscribe to Discovery for 1 month via Prime I can see RG?
I have Now TV - a freebie only given to me via my BT internet/tv subscription - it says I can see RG via this but from reading other reports, I'm not so sure I can view that on my LG TV
It's so confusing! Thinking almost of boycotting :(

Any help appreciated.

According to Speedy in previous post you can.

[Rosalind]

According to Speedy in previous post you can.

I'm up and running. Discovery via Prime. Two subscriptions. Easy if not then messy to find stuff.

[Sallydaisy]

Grasscourt season TV coverage. From TennisonTelly on Twitter.
NEW:
Both Prime Video and the BBC will show WTA events in Birmingham, Nottingham and Eastbourne, plus ATP at Queen's.
ATP matches at Eastbourne will be on Prime Video only.
All matches at Surbiton, and ATP Challenger matches at Nottingham will be on the BBC only.

[cazza99]

I think the ATP site will still be live streaming the ATP challengers.

[Caro]

I already have prime and got discovery+ via prime for AO. In the end I subscribed direct through discovery+ This time and it is sooo much better / easier than via prime. I’m using chromecast to watch on the big TV … WIN, WIN in the end :thumbup:

Glad you got sorted and it’s great we have so many options, I suppose, because we all seem to prefer different things!

[WimbledonWestie]

I have paid the one month for discovery + and the lack of adverts is worth it alone! It was also rather helpful last night when Rafa match went so late - could watch in bed! Prime and red button had spoiled me - I hated being stuck with whatever Eurosport decided I was watching .

Lucky for us that Amazon Prime Video (Not Amazon Prime) price increase to £8.99 on 15th September so we can pay £5.99 for US Open since it starts before price increase.

[banskogirl]

That'll teach me to moan about the price!

Where are we to find all the tennis then?

[Hawkeye]

Back on Sky.

[exislander]

Back on Sky.

So after years of avoiding it I will have to pay for loads of stuff I don't want to get the tennis I do want to watch.

And to be able to afford will have to stop amazon prime, so no quick postage when buying on amazon.

[JAMES4578]

The tennis rights may well move back to Sky, however not officially confirmed yet. Prime definitely not in running though, presumably Tennis TV will still have coverage. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Global/2022/10/18/Prime-Video-Tennis.aspx

[cazza99]

Well I hope Apple TV doesn't get some of the tennis - looks like they may possibly be bidding too.

I didn't like tennis on Amazon much to start with, but it is much more affordable and I have got used to it now.

Is that for Grand Slam Aussie and US Open as well or just ATP tour?

Edit: I think they been moved to Eurosport already this year. I must be thinking year before LOL.

[cazza99]

Amazon never did Aussie Grand Slam. It has always been Eurosport and ITV4 did it for a while too. Amazon has been doing the US Open but apparently that is going to Sky.
