Tennis fans get ready. It’s that time of year again, the ATP Finals are upon us.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a cable subscription because I’ll be showing you how you can watch the ATP Finals online from anywhere in the world.
Tennis has got even more popular in recent years which means in most countries the ATP Finals are shown exclusively on expensive cable networks.
There is however a super simple way you can watch the ATP Finals for free and to do this you’ll need to watch on an overseas stream.
How to watch the ATP Finals online anywhere
In most countries the ATP Finals are shown on cable networks that you might not have access to nor want to pay for (and who can blame you – they’re expensive!)
However, in some countries the ATP Finals are being shown completely free.
One such country is India on the SonyLiv network. All the tennis is streamed live online officially but you need to be in India to watch it.
Here’s how you can watch in any country…
The good news is there’s a little app called a ‘VPN‘ that will allow you to watch the official ATP Finals stream on the Indian SonyLiv website IN ANY COUNTRY.
Yes, that’s right, using a VPN app you can watch the ATP Finals for free anywhere, in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Thailand, South Africa or any other country.
In summary
- A VPN will allow you to watch in any country
- You can watch all the tennis matches live
- The live stream is an official website
Where can I get a VPN to watch
While the ATP Finals stream is shown for free you will need a VPN app.
VPN apps are really cheap though. For example my recommended provider ExpressVPN works out at just a couple of dollars. For that you can watch all the tennis live.
There are hundreds of different VPN services but they all basically do the same thing.
However, there’s one important difference
Some VPN services are too slow which leads to buffering. I’ve tested loads of them and I find ExpressVPN to be the best for watching the ATP Finals.
If you’ve got a bit of spare time then check out these three providers which are all suitable for watching the ATP Finals:
- ExpressVPN – Recommended
- IPVanish
- CyberGhost VPN

They work on all kinds of devices including Android, Apple iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux and even the Amazon Fire TV / Stick.
Follow the steps below and you can be watching the ATP Finals in minutes. I’m using ExpressVPN in this example but you can use any of the three providers from above.
