It’s “Summer Down Under” as ESPN brings tennis fans in North America every match from every round of the 2025 Australian Open, live from Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia. Coverage across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ will include all matches from all 15 courts, with every match streaming live on ESPN+.
With Melbourne 16 hours ahead of the U.S. ET, day session matches will air on ESPN linear networks in primetime ET and night session matches will begin at 3 a.m. ET with coverage presented by Chase Sapphire. In all, ESPN will present more than 250 hours of live coverage on its linear networks.
Exclusive coverage kicks off in the U.S. on Saturday, January 11, with the First Round streaming live at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+ and presented at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN2, two hours earlier than in 2024.
Daily encore presentations will be available on ESPN2, with Quarterfinal encore presentations expanded to four hours per day.
Comprehensive coverage will culminate with the Women’s and Men’s Championships on January 25 and 26, respectively, at 3:30 a.m. ET on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+. New this year are two 30-minute pre-shows before each singles championship.
This is ESPN’s 41st annual presentation of this Australian Open, representing its longest uninterrupted professional sports programming relationship. ESPN has held the rights to the event since 1984.

ABC will air two one-hour highlight shows on the middle and final weekends.
