How to watch ATP Finals without cable

If you don't have access to cable, you can get the Tennis Channel on over-the-top streaming service Sling TV, which offers it as an $11 per month add-on on top of either its Sling Orange package or Sling Blue package - each of which costs $35 a month, though there's a $10 off Sling TV deal you can enjoy right now.

There's also the option of going for a fuboTV subscription. Fubo is a complete end-to-end cable replacement service that also offers the Tennis Channel on plans starting from $64.99 a month for over 120 channels. 

Better still, there's a 7-day FREE fuboTV trial you can take advantage of.

If you find outside the US right now you can always use a good VPN to get access to your home coverage.

Try Amazon Prime FREE for 30-days
Amazon has the rights to broadcast the ATP Finals tennis in the UK, including this opening clash between Djokovic vs Ruud.

That means Amazon Prime Video members can live stream all the action at no further cost. Play for this match is set to get started at 1pm GMT.

If you want to stream the tennis from your phone or tablet, the Amazon Prime Video app is available for Android via Google Play and Apple devices via the App Store.

Amazon Prime membership costs £79 per year or £7.99 per month, which can be cancelled at any time. The subscription will get you access to Amazon's library of TV shows and films as well as unlimited one-day delivery on Amazon orders from the UK.

New users can sign up for a FREE 30-day Amazon Prime trial with full access to live sports coverage as well as free one-day delivery on purchases from Amazon's online store during that time.

Not in the UK but still want to watch the tennis on your Prime account? Your best option is to download and install a VPN and then log in to a UK IP address.

In Canada, you can watch Djokovic vs Ruud and the rest of the ATP Finals on TSN. 

If you get the channel as part of your cable deal, then you'll just be able to log in with the details of your provider and get access to an ATP Finals live stream. 

If you don't have cable, then you can subscribe to TSN on a streaming-only basis from just CA$4.99 a day or (much better value) $19.99 a month.

This match is set to get started at 8am ET / 5am PT.

If you decide to subscribe or already have, remember you can take your favorite sports streaming service with you wherever you go - just try our No. 1 overall rated VPN 100% risk-free for 30-days and follow the instructions above.

beIN Sports has the rights to show the ATP Finals tennis Down Under, including this Djokovic vs Ruud match. The bad news is that play is set to start at around the somewhat inconvenient time of 12am AEDT.

If you don't have it as part of a pay TV package, you can also sign up to beIN Sports as a standalone subscription, costing $19.99 per month after you've taken advantage of a FREE two-week trial.

That said, sports streaming specialist Kayo Sports includes beIN in its package - and it also offers a FREE 14-day Kayo Sports trial - so plenty of time to watch the whole of the tournament - plus Kayo's other vast sport offerings.. 

After that, the Basic plan costs just $25 a month and lets you stream on two screens, while Premium is a mere $35 a month for simultaneous viewing on up to three devices. 

Of the two, Kayo Sports Premium represents the best value as it offers multi-screen support - which means you can effectively split the price of a monthly subscription between friends or family and pay less.

Don't forget, you can take your coverage abroad with you as well. For those wanting to watch home coverage of sports from overseas, a good VPN is the solution.

Live coverage of Djokovic vs Ruud in New Zealand comes courtesy of Sky Sport, which is available as part of a range of pay TV packages. 

Subscribers can watch this match and all of the ATP Finals online using the country's Sky Go service, while cord-cutters and anyone else can try the Sky Sport Now streaming-only platform - where a weekly pass costs just $19.99.

For those wanting to watch this action from this match unfold as it happens you're in for a sleepless night, with play set to start at 2am NZDT.

Anyone in New Zealand from abroad or vice-versa can use the VPN route outlined earlier to access their preferred coverage just like they would at home.
