Where to watch the Billie Jean King Cup for free

Certain countries will show select Billie Jean King Cup coverage for free. Canada carries pretty comprehensive coverage of Billie Jean King Cup matches through CBC, which can be live streamed for free via CBC Gem. While the Tennis Channel requires a paid subscription in the US, the semifinals and final will be shown on Tennis Channel 2 (T2), which is available for free through select FAST services such as Philo's free tier in the US.

In the UK, BBC iPlayer offers select matches for free. So far, that has included Team Great Britain quarterfinal coverage, but it's unknown whether coverage will continue following the team's elimination. RTVE will also have select free coverage. In Australia, previous Team Australia coverage was available for free on 9Now, but whether the streamer will offer any additional coverage remains to be seen.

How to watch the Billie Jean King Cup from anywhere

Tennis fans away from the location where their streaming service works can still keep up with their favorite viewing options (including the free ones) with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are handy tech tools that let people temporarily change their virtual locations. They're popular among those looking to keep up with their usual services while traveling abroad or upgrade their cybersecurity.

NordVPN is one of the best VPNs in the game. It's fast, easy to use, and has a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can learn more in our NordVPN review.

Where to watch the Billie Jean King Cup in the US

The Billie Jean King Cup is available through the Tennis Channel and Tennis Channel 2 (T2) in the US. While the quarterfinals are available through the Tennis Channel, which requires a paid subscription, you can access the semifinals and final for free on T2.

If you're a cord-cutter hoping to catch the quarterfinals on the Tennis Channel, you can do so by subscribing to the service directly through the Tennis Channel website or by getting the channel via a live TV streaming service, like YouTube TV or Fubo.

If you're interested in subscribing through YouTube TV, you can get the Tennis Channel through the Sports Plus add-on, which costs an extra $11 a month. You'll need the add-on on top of a standard plan. The Main plan costs $83 a month, but a limited-time deal will discount your first five months by $15 a month. The Sports plan costs $65 a month, but a limited-time deal will knock your first six months down by $20 a month. Both of these plans also include T2. New users can access a free trial.

If you'd prefer to go the Fubo route, you can get T2 through either Fubo Pro or Elite, but you'll need Elite if you want the Tennis Channel as well. Fubo Pro costs $89 a month, but you can get $25 off your first month. Fubo Elite costs $99 a month, but you can get $30 off your first month. First-time customers can also access a free trial.

If you don't mind only catching the semifinals and final, you can live stream T2 through select FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) services. While Philo has paid tiers, it carries T2 for free and requires no account creation to access the channel.

Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
