Are they not showing Olympic tennis on TV? How can I watch it?

Every time I turn it on there's a bunch of stuff I have little interest in seeing and have yet to see any of the tennis. This morning I turn it on and see this....

It's extremely annoying. I've just asked this question elsewhere.

Haven't been able to find any tennis showing on BBC or Eurosport until a few minutes ago. Then what purported to be 'live' tennis is actually a repeat of the Barty-Sorribes Tormo, Osaka-Zheng matches!

Where is everybody else watching this???

I just searched the Peacock app and all they have are three very short clips of the Ash Barty, Novak, and Naomi matches. Like really short clips... 2 or 3 minutes... and only one clip of each match. What are they showing on Eurosport?

With the streaming technologies available nowadays there is absolutely NO reason why they can't have live streams of pretty much every event. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is possibly the most ridiculous and disastrous Olympics ever (exception being the one in which a bunch of Israeli athletes were killed). But for a general, overall low-quality, poorly organized, disaster of an Olympics, this is it. It probably should have just been canceled.

Anyone know how the TV ratings are doing?

No tennis on TV until the quarterfinals, according to all my programms. Men's QF, SF and F should be on Eurosport but I don't know for the women's and doubles. I've talked to Australian, European and African friends on Facebook, they have zero tennis either. Little really cares about tennis in Olympics and it shows. Maybe there will be some hype for the Men's semifinals and finals, but that's it.

As a huge tennis fan, I watch a lot of matches on my Ipad with a proxy.
Maybe try sportsbay ( https://sportsbay.org/sports/tennis )
Or jokerlivesteam ( https://www.jokerlivestream.xyz/joker-tennis-live-streaming-47.html )

Most matches are available on these streamings, but no commentator.

You can absolutely watch it on Eurosport. Click on the All Olympic Sports tab at the top, click tennis, and I'm pretty sure you can watch just about any match you want. Singles or doubles. Not sure how it is live considering it's on in the middle of the night, but I'd guess if you navigate your way to the tennis page while it's going on you'd be able to watch it as it's happening too. That's certainly the case with every sport I've watched.

It's actually on BBC red button (can't find anything on Eurosport), just repeats of some of the women's matches.

I cannot understand when they have all sorts of coverage of all sorts of crap I'm not interested in that NO-ONE IS SHOWING ANY LIVE TENNIS!!!

Can we get up some sort of petition to bombard the friggin' TV companies and threaten them with some of legal action unless they buck their ideas up???

:mad: :mad: :mad:

Where is the tab? Just checked and I can't find anything on either of the Eurosport channels.

Eurosport Player app, not the broadcast channels in the UK. I have a subscription to watch the slams but wasn’t expecting much for the Olympics. They’ve shown everything (I think) and have a lot of matches available for full replay as well. Extra bonus for there being no commentary on the outside courts.

That is absolutely ridiculous. The number of fans shown in attendance at the Slams and elsewhere proves there is enough interest in tennis to justify live coverage. Are they seriously trying to tell us that the likes of taekwando and judoka have more followers (both being shown live recently)?? :rolleyes:

Thanks but just begs the question why the Eurosport channels aren't showing any live tennis when they're showing the likes of taekwando and judoka??

Not True.

“NBC Sports” mobile app has almost ALL live events streaming. For example, there are often 7-8 matches streaming simultaneously. For those who have Fios and Comcast cable TV subscription one can definitely get the above (probably check your wi-fi credentials and associated TV subscription when connecting to the app).

Not sure one can still get all those live events without TV subscription or not. May be worth a try.

Well, today later when the matches begin (3 am in London, 10 pm in NY), try opening these 2 links, sportsbay and jokerlivestream. Maybe it works. You can watch about every matches you want. I watch it on my Ipad but I'm sure you can also watch on a computer. Then full screen, connect the computer to your TV with a HDMI port and you can watch full matches on your TV with very good quality (just no commentator)

Again, thanks for that advice but still seems a lot of trouble to go to when I can watch taekwando and judoka (with their apparent millions of followers around the world) without having to do anything like that.

On AT&T UVerse, I get both the new NBC Olympics Channel as well as another channel called Olympics Channel which was always there.

Oh, sorry. On the Eurosport Player, I meant. It costs 6.99 for the month, but considering all you get access to for the next 2 weeks that's pretty much a steal.

Every Olympic Tennis match streams live on the NBC Sports app. All you need to do is login with a tv provider (Sling, Fubo, YouTube TV...)
Right now, you can get Sling TV Blue for $10 for the first month (this includes the Olympic Channel). All of the matches stream live on the Olympic Channel. So, you can watch every match for $10.

Dude nobody cares. Or like, enough people for major coverage. Olympics is dead. You've now had back to back pandemic/absence related editions and in 5 years no less. Beijing Winter going to be the final nail.

I don't feel very good about Paris 24 and who the hell knows about LA 28 if they do some SJW promo, forest fires, other boycotts, etc, etc. Sad times.

All institutions are dying. Who cares about anything anymore?

Unless you're in Latin America, try watching in Marca Claro, every single court is live streamed in 1080p.

If you have DirecTV it’s on the Olympics Channel which is channel 624. It’s showing men and women. One of the few sports shown live in the US.
