The broadcast of the US Open 2024 is primarily in the hands of the paid streaming provider Sportdeutschland.TV. Since last year, it has had the main license for broadcasting the tournament and can therefore show all games on its own online platform.

There is also a pass for the US Open, which you can buy for 20 euros and which gives you the opportunity to watch all of the tennis tournament’s matches live. There is also the option of buying passes for the individual matches for 5 euros each if you only want to watch a few specific games.

This allowed Sportdeutschland.TV some well-known tennis experts to broadcast the tournament; among them are Boris Becker, who has won six Grand Slam titles in the course of his career, and Mischa Zverev, German tennis player and brother of Alexander Zverev.

Sportdeutschland.TV is not the only provider involved in the broadcast of the US Open in 2024: The pay-TV channel Heaven has secured broadcasting rights for some parties through a sublicense.
