How to watch Gauff vs. Muchova, Keys vs. Sabalenka in the USA

ESPN, ESPN Plus, and ESPN Deportes have the rights to the US Open live streams of the remaining singles matches in the US. So, if you have those channels on your cable package, you should be all set for this one. If you don't, then ESPN Plus is your cheapest option at just $10 a month on a one-month rolling contract.

If you're a cord-cutter and want to access the main ESPN cable channels temporarily, you could opt for a service like Sling Orange or Fubo TV. Sling Orange is usually $40 a month, but your first month is currently cut to $20, and you can cancel anytime. Fubo TV is much more expensive at $75 a month, but you can get a 7-day free trial before moving on to a rolling one-month deal.
