It's 2025, and all attention now turns towards the next cycle of thrilling action from tennis courts worldwide. No event sets the pulse of the new campaign racing like the Australian Open. It's the first grand slam to take place every year, and it sure does set the tone for all the fantastic tennis we can expect throughout the coming months.

Taking place in its traditional home of Melbourne, the world's best players in singles and doubles will take to its hard court surfaces in pursuit of sporting immortality.

Jannik Sinner and Aryana Sabalenka, both ranked number one, will be looking to defend their titles, which they won last year. But it won't be an easy task with the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, who is looking to complete his first career grand slam, and Coco Gauff, being in outstanding form - both challenging.

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray had been seen practising together before the tournament started, which naturally caused a frenzy among fans and the media. There's one thing for sure, this year's Australian Open is guaranteed to be a blockbuster start to this year's Grand Slams.

    ESPN+

    Want to catch the action from the Australian Open while keeping your budget down? Look no further than a subscription to ESPN+, the sports networks streaming service, bringing customers broad coverage from the tournament and plenty more besides.

    Offering the same coverage from all ESPN channels throughout the tournament, ESPN+ allows users to access every round of the Australian Open for a bargain basement price, at just $10 per month. With a tournament that lasts only two weeks, that’s a great return for a shoestring fee.

    Not all matches will be covered however, and the sports-orientated nature of the service may mean those looking for more than just on-court action may prefer a different option. But for a minimum spend and maximum return, this is as sure as a forehand winner sent flying across the court.

    Want to make sure you don’t miss a flick of the wrist or a kick of the ball from any sport, not just the Australian Open? With FuboTV, you’ll have access to a broad range of live sporting action from across the world, allowing you to stay on top of all your favorite games.

    As above, ESPN and ESPN2 come as part of the standard package, along with a host of other terrestrial and pay-television channels within the provider’s basic tier option, opening up a wide variety of channels showcasing some of the best matches from around the globe.

    With no ESPN+ included however, it may lack the ability to offer digital replay value for Australian Open coverage, while its status as a premium package means it is on the pricier side of things. However, with such a broad range of channels included, you may feel that you get enough bang for your buck from this deal.
