Will Novak Djokovic continue his dominance at 2019 BNP Paribas Open? Will Rafael Nadal finally put an end to his title drought? Or will Roger Federer make it career title no. 101? All of those questions and much more will be answered at Indian Wells over the next two weeks. And there are plenty of ways to follow along online. All you need is access to the Tennis Channel, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNews. While it can be difficult to find a live TV streaming service that checks all of those boxes, we’ve identified your best options—all of which will start with a one-week free trial. From the qualifying matches to finals, here’s how to live stream the Indian Wells tournament.

If you love sports, FuboTV is probably the live TV streaming service for you. It dominates with international soccer, offers 30 hours of free cloud DVR and provides three-day replay for most of the games and matches it features. While it lacks ESPN channels and ABC, you’ll get a great collection of channels that includes specialty sports options like NFL Network, NBA TV, Big Ten Network, and FS1 (in 4K no less). To get the Tennis Channel, you’ll actually need to upgrade to the $49.99-per-month Fubo Extra package, which also adds CNN International, BBC World News, the Cooking Channel, and more. (Here’s the complete FuboTV channels list.)

2) Sling TV

Sling Orange + Blue Sling TV

Sling TV is your cheapest option for watching Indian Wells online. Sling TV offers three different base packages. You’ll either want Sling Orange ($25 per month) or Sling Orange + Blue ($40 per month). Both come with ESPN and ESPN2, but with the upgraded option, you’ll get a ton of extra channels you’ll want, including FS2, NFL Network, and more, in addition to some local channels (just not ABC). To get the Tennis Channel, you’ll want to tack on the Sling Orange: Sports Extra add-on. It’s just $5 per month and includes ESPNews, NBA TV, SEC Network, NHL Network, and more. That’s an incredible value, and if you act right now, it’s even better. Sling TV is currently offering 40 percent off all of its base packages for your first three months. (Here’s a complete guide to Sling TV channels and our Sling TV review.)

Never mind the name: PlayStation Vue with pretty much every streaming device you might own—even Kodi! You’ll have to upgrade to the $59.99 per month Elite package (the third of four tiers of channels) to get the Tennis channel, but for the price, you’ll get a ton of great channels, including NBA TV, no less than six ESPN channels, plus all of the major broadcast networks (including ABC). You can also stream on up to five devices at once, making it a great package for a family, especially considering that there’s unlimited cloud DVR. (Here are all of PlayStation Vue channels.)

YouTube TV is your most straightforward option for watching the 2019 BNP Paribas Open. Every subscription comes with four ESPN channels, the Tennis Channel, and your local ABC affiliate. There’s a ton more to love about YouTube TV, including the ability to add up to six accounts per household. Even better, each one of those accounts gets unlimited cloud DVR. The only downside is that you can’t stream using any Amazon products like the popular Fire Stick.
