How to watch the 2023 Paris Masters live
For cable subscribers, watching the 2023 Paris Masters live simply requires flipping the network to the Tennis Channel. Don't have cable? There are still a few ways you can catch the action live. Check out our top picks below.
Best overall: Tennis TV
For tennis lovers without cable access, Tennis TV is the most straightforward way to tune into the Paris Masters. Available on any device, Tennis TV is the official live and on-demand streaming app of the ATP Tour. Aside from live tennis from every ATP Tour tournament, you can also check out full match replays, classic matches, highlights, and live scores in real-time. While the app is free, you'll need a Premium subscription — which runs you $119.99 annually or $14.99 monthly — to unlock live access to every match during the 2023 Paris Masters. Since the tournament is just a week long, you could easily just subscribe for a month, then cancel.
Best live TV streaming service: YouTube TV + Sports Plus
Our top pick for a live TV streaming service, YouTube TV serves as a cable replacement for those looking to tune into more than just the Paris Masters. In order to access the Tennis Channel, which will be broadcasting every match live, you'll need to tack the Sports Plus add-on onto the base plan for an extra $10.99/month. The good news is, you can utilize the free trial of the base plan (and simply pay for the $10.99 Sports Plus add-on) during the week-long tournament, then decide later on if you want to pay the $52.99/month fee for three months ($72.99/month thereafter) or cancel altogether.
Most affordable live TV streamer: Sling TV Orange + Sports Extra
For a more affordable live TV option, Sling offers access to the Tennis Channel as part of its Sports Extra package. In order to watch live, you'll need to subscribe to the Orange (or Blue) base package for $40/month and add the Sports Extra channels for $11/month. That brings the usual total to $51/month. However, Sling is offering a discounted rate for the base package for your first month, so it'll only cost you $31 to tune into the Paris Master live. You can cancel or adjust your plan later.
Best way to watch for free: FuboTV
With a free seven-day trial, FuboTV lets you access the Tennis Channel as part of its Pro channel lineup. That means you can watch the entirety of the Paris Masters, from qualifiers to finals, for free if you plan accordingly. Just be sure to cancel your subscription before the week ends or you'll be charged full price come the start of the next week. Full price is $74.99/month for the Pro plan.
