How to Watch Monte Carlo Masters Without Cable

The 2024 Monte Carlo Masters are being broadcast on Tennis Channel, so cord-cutters will need to get a live TV streaming service to watch the tournament without cable. Below are some of our favorite live TV streaming services that carry Tennis Channel.

Stream Monte Carlo Masters Open on fubo

Editor’s pick

Unlike many live TV streamers, fubo carries Tennis Channels in its base Pro package — no add-on required). The Pro plan, which has a total of more than 190 channels, starts with a seven-day free trial that you can use to watch the tournament without paying. If you want to keep the streaming service after the Monte Carlo Masters, the Pro plan will cost $79.99 a month.

Stream Monte Carlo Masters Open on DirecTV Stream

Free Trial

Another great live TV streaming service that offers a free trial is DirecTV Stream. You’ll need DirecTV Stream’s Choice package to watch Monte Carlo Masters livestreams on the Tennis Channel. The Choice package starts with a five-day free trial and then costs $108.99 a month after that.

Stream Monte Carlo Masters Open on Sling

Also consider

Sling also carries Tennis Channel for Monte Carlo Masters streams, but you’ll need to get the service’s Sports Extra add-on. However, even with the add-on, Sling is a more affordable option than the above options. Packages start at just $40 a month, and the Sports Extra add-on is $11 a month (sadly, though, there’s no free trial).

Stream Monte Carlo Masters Open on Hulu + Live TV

best bundle

We recommend Hulu + Live TV to anyone looking to streamline their streaming setup. The service delivers live TV channels, plus complimentary subscriptions to Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu (on-demand). To watch Tennis Channel with Hulu + Live TV, you will also need the Sports add-on, which costs $9.99/month on top of the base subscription price of $76.99 a month.

Can You Stream Monte Carlo Masters for Free?

Want to watch the Monte Carlo Masters for free? Be sure to take advantage of the free trials from fubo and DirecTV Stream to get free Tennis Channel livestreams. You will need to enter a payment method to sign up for these free trials, but you won’t be charged anything if you cancel before the trial ends.
