Where to Watch the WTA Finals Riyadh 2025

The 2025 WTA Finals in Riyadh, the crown jewel of the season, is distributed globally through an extensive network of broadcast partners to ensure the action is accessible to tennis fans on every continent. The championship’s global reach is facilitated by a multi-platform strategy involving major cable networks, specialized sports channels, and burgeoning digital streaming services like DAZN. This widespread coverage underscores the WTA’s commitment to delivering its top-tier event to its worldwide audience.

The broadcast rights are structured by region, with specific partners holding exclusive rights in their respective territories, reflecting a fragmented but comprehensive distribution model:

Europe

European coverage is particularly diverse. Fans in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy rely on Sky Sports (or its regional branches) for extensive coverage of the week-long event. Meanwhile, the digital platform DAZN plays a critical role across multiple smaller territories, including the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland) and the Netherlands. Poland tunes into Canal+, while the Balkan region is primarily covered by Arena Sport and SportKlub. This regionalization ensures high-quality localized broadcasts across dozens of countries.

Americas

In the United States, the tournament is broadcast exclusively on the Tennis Channel, with live streaming options often available through its app or affiliated services like Fubo. North of the border, Canada’s English-speaking audience relies on TSN, while Francophone viewers can catch the matches on TVA. The whole of Latin America, a vast and passionate tennis market, is unified under the umbrella of ESPN LATAM, ensuring coverage from Mexico down to Argentina. Separate coverage for the Caribbean territories is handled by RUSH Sports.

Middle East & Africa

As the host region, the Middle East sees significant coverage from DAZN, which holds the rights for numerous countries, including the host nation Saudi Arabia, alongside Bahrain, Egypt, Qatar, and the UAE. This platform is key to the tournament’s success in its new home. For the rest of the African continent, the comprehensive coverage of over 40 sub-Saharan territories is provided by SuperSport, with New World TV serving the Francophone audience.

Asia & Oceanic

The fast-growing Asian market features a mix of regional and national giants. beIN Sports provides coverage in Australia, while DAZN secures rights across a huge number of nations, from New Zealand to Pakistan and Malaysia. In China, the coverage is split among digital giants MIGU, Tencent, and Youku. Dedicated national broadcasters like TrueVisions in Thailand, StarHub in Singapore, and CJ ENM in South Korea ensure local fans have direct access to the pinnacle of the women’s tennis season.

The full details of all regional partners are listed in the table below, serving as a definitive guide for viewers seeking to follow the high-stakes round-robin matches and knockout rounds live from the King Saud University Indoor Arena.
