The women's semifinals will be available to watch on ESPN and ESPN3 in the US. Most of the action will be on ESPN, but if the two semifinal matches overlap and the one you want to watch cuts out, you can turn to ESPN3 for the rest of the action. If you don't have cable or your cable provider doesn't currently offer ESPN, you can still tune into these channels via a live TV package like Sling TV or Fubo. Both of these options provide low-commitment, month-to-month live TV channels.
Sling TV is one of the cheaper live streaming packages out there, with separate, budget-friendly plans that cater to specific channels. You'll need to subscribe to Sling Orange for $40 a month to get ESPN. The plan also includes ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPN4K, and 31 other channels. Right now, you can get your first month for just $15.
If you're looking for a broader cable alternative, Fubo is the way to go. The sports-friendly streaming service offers ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, and ESPN Deportes. ESPN3 won't be available to view through Fubo's TV guide, but your Fubo credentials will allow you to log into the ESPN app or website and view the channel's streams there. Fubo subscriptions cost $79.99 a month, and you can get a one-week free trial if you're a first-time customer.
The US Open women's semifinals will be shown on Sky Sports in the UK. Prices vary depending on the contract you commit to, but you can also live stream the matches through Now TV. Now offers everything from single-day passes (£15) to monthlong subscriptions (£35), as well as deals on multi-month commitments.
As was highlighted above, the majority of the US Open live streams for free on 9Now in Australia. Users just need to create an account if they don't already have one. Australians hoping to watch every single match of the US Open ad-free can subscribe to Stan Sport, which costs around AU$27 a month for the Stan base plan and necessary Sport add-on.
