Australian Open 2022 was one of the controversial Grand Slams last year. Due to a looming COVID-19 threat, the authorities banned players who didn’t take vaccine. Novak Djokovic – last year’s defending champion, couldn’t take part due to such a rule. Rafael Nadal won the last year’s Australian Open in Novak’s absence. However, this year’s Australian Open is set to bring back all the action and thrilling moments on the court. Here’s how you can watch Australian Open 2023 on FireStick without cable.

Watch Australian Open 2023 Without Cable

Australian Open is aired by more than 1,000 broadcasters worldwide, reaching around 45 TV channels. As for this post, we will keep the focus on the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia to watch the tournament without cable.

Starting with the US, ESPN has the official rights to stream every Australian Open 2023 match to subscribers. Users can also opt for the Tennis Channel to catch the live action.

Below, I will list streaming services that offer ESPN or Tennis Channel. These are officially available from the Amazon App Store, and it will only take a minute or two to install them on FireStick.

Watch Australian Open 2023 on FireStick in the US

Let’s start the list with ESPN’s own streaming service called ESPN+. Then I will move to other apps that have ESPN channels in their catalogs.

1. ESPN+

ESPN+ should top the chart for sports fans in the US. It’s affordable and comes with many major sports tournaments, such as F1, UFC, MNF, and boxing PPV events.

The ESPN+ subscription is priced at $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. You can’t start with a free trial. A native ESPN+ app is available on FireStick, Android, iPhone, and every major platform you can think of. You should follow the guide below to install ESPN+ on FireStick.

2. Sling TV

Australian Open 2023 will air on the ESPN2 and ESPN3 channels. But be careful while choosing your Sling TV plan. ESPN channels are only available in the Sling Orange plan and the highest Sling Blue & Orange plan. ESPN channels are absent from the Sling Blue plan.

Sling plans start at $50 per month, but the company is offering the first month for $20 to new users. That first month is enough to cover the entire Australian Open 2022 season.

You get DVR storage with Sling TV too, but it’s capped at 50 hours.

3. YouTube TV

YouTube TV was supposed to lose all the Disney channels, including ESPN channels, from the platform. Thanks to a last-minute deal, YouTube TV managed to maintain all Disney channels for subscribers.

YouTube TV seems to be offering a 2-day free trial to new users at the moment. The pricing starts at $54.99 per month for the first three months, but be ready to pay $64.99 per month after that.

To stand out from the crowd, YouTube TV is offering unlimited DVR cloud storage. Along with ESPN channels, you also get 85 additional channels to stream on FireStick without cable.

4. fuboTV

fuboTV beats every other streaming service with an extensive list of live TV channels. I’m talking about around 220+ TV channels to stream on FireStick.

That includes every category, like sports, news, entertainment. The Starter plan comes with 250 hours of DVR storage, and as you move to a higher plan, the channel list, number of simultaneous streams, and DVR storage increase.

fuboTV comes with a 7-day free trial. That should be enough to get you through a couple of Australian Open rounds and see if it’s a service you’d like to pay for.

5. Hulu

You can get Hulu + Disney bundle for as low as $13.99 per month. It offers Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ streaming services. It’s a much better value than subscribing to ESPN+ only. If you want to remove ads, go with the higher plan at $19.99 per month. You can also get the highest plan with 75+ live TV channels, but it’s priced at $69.99 per month. As for watching Australian Open 2023, you should be completely fine with the base plan.

Combining free trials from the official apps, you can get through the Australian Open 2022 coverage. But what about the next grand slam, such as the US Open or Wimbledon?

I’m going to list out third-party apps, Kodi addons, and IPTV services that offer live Tennis action without paying a single dollar. Before you start getting excited about them, let’s have a word of caution. You must use ExpressVPN before accessing sports content from such apps.

The thing is, these apps aren’t available in the Amazon App Store for a reason. Amazon can’t verify the content these apps carry.

You, as a user, might end up watching unlicensed content on FireStick. The whole practice can lead to legal action from the authorities in the future.

You should use a VPN app such as ExpressVPN to hide your IP address. That way, no one can see your FireStick browsing history, keeping you safe from legal issues. You can follow this guide to set up ExpressVPN on your Fire TV Stick.

Third-Party Apps and Kodi Addons

We could talk about third-party apps all day, but I’ll save your time and ask you to review these third-party apps for FireStick. Install a couple of apps on FireStick and start watching Australian Open 2023 without cable.

Kodi addons play a huge role in the Kodi ecosystem. Just make sure to have Kodi installed on FireStick and then integrate a couple of Kodi addons from this list to unlock free sports content at home without cable.

IPTV Services

With an IPTV service, you do need to pay a small monthly amount. But in return, you are looking at unlimited entertainment with live TV channels, on-demand content, PPV events, and a lot more.

You need to integrate the IPTV service with a free IPTV player to stream the content without cable.

Sports Streaming Websites

Sports streaming websites are an alternative to free apps and Kodi addons on FireStick. Don’t go with sketchy websites, though. They might be filled with ads and third-party trackers to steal your personal information.

Instead, go through this list of the best free sports streaming websites and check them out on the Silk browser to watch Australian Open 2022 live.
