Tips if you’re abroad

  • If you normally use an Australian or Austrian free service and are traveling, many fans use location tools (like VPNs) to keep watching their usual streams, though you should always check local laws and each platform’s terms of service.
  • For the most accurate local info, search your country name plus “Australian Open 2026 TV rights” or check your national tennis federation or main sports channels’ schedules.
