    An epic semi-final of the men's French Open awaits us today and we have everything you need on where to watch the Alcaraz vs. Djokovic live stream for free from anywhere. In most countries, you'll have to pay a subscription fee to a streaming service to catch the tennis, but we've shopped around, and it turns out some nations are getting a free live stream.

    That's fantastic news even if you don't live in those countries if you have a VPN (virtual private network), as you'll be able to jump over the geo-restriction barrier as if you were actually living in that country. Don't have one yet? Not a problem. Setting one up is super simple, will unlock global streaming options, and greatly improves your privacy and online security across your devices. There's even a special offer where you can save a whopping 49% on one today too. Look below for all the links you need today to watch the French Open final's live stream from anywhere. 

    Better still, all the viewing options below can also be used to catch today's other men's semi-final (Ruud vs Zverev), the women's final tomorrow (Swiatek vs. Muchova), as well as the men's final on Sunday.

    Update: Now that the match has started, we've had a look to see which of the free streaming options is the best. Overall, the France.TV option has the clearest picture and there's no commentary, so it's nice and simple to enjoy in any language. Servus TV has a similar high-quality visual feed, but with regular commentary in German - so the best option if you speak German, but a little distracting if not. As for 9Now in Australia, we've found the resolution is much lower, a little blurry even at times and we've had quite a few buffering pauses, whereas the other two feeds are very smooth.

    Where to watch Alcaraz vs. Djokovic live stream in the US 

    The French Open live streams are very affordable in the US, as you can find all the action over on Peacock Premium at just $4.99 a month, and you're free to cancel once the tournament wraps up if you don't have much use for it. There's no free trial, but come on, it's five bucks — less than a pair of coffees. As mentioned above though, if you use a VPN, you can catch one of the free live streams from abroad. 

    The game will also be shown on NBC if you have it. If not, Sling Blue carries the channel and is available for half price ($20) for your first month. Or you could opt for a free trial over at Fubo, which you can cancel within seven days to avoid getting charged. After that, it's one of the more expensive cord-cutting services. If you're just after the tennis this weekend, Peacock is the simplest option. 

    Peacock Premium (Monthly Plan)

    Peacock is a streaming service featuring NBCUniversal TV shows, movies, original series, live sports, and news programs. Prices start at just $5.99 a month on one-month deals, with further discounts available on annual plans.

    Watch Alcaraz vs. Djokovic live stream for free from anywhere

    The men's semi-final French Open final live stream is showing for free in several countries. So if you're already in France, Austria, or Australia, you're just a click away (all links are above). However, if you're not in those countries and try to watch their Alcaraz vs. Djokovic live streams, you'll come up against a geo-block. A VPN will fix that for you. 

    A VPN is the best way to get around geo-restrictions and is a viable option to watch the Alcaraz vs. Djokovic live stream. A VPN lets your device appear to be in a different country and offers excellent privacy options at home or on public WiFi for your phone, laptop, streaming devices, and more. To watch the French Open, simply switch it to a French, Australian, or Austrian location, then tune into the freely available live stream and enjoy all the action in HD.  

    Our preferred option of all the best VPN providers is ExpressVPN, which comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're unsatisfied. Check out the latest deal details below.
