The Italian Open, or Internazionali d’Italia, also called as the Italian International Championships. The men’s competition is an ATP Tour Masters 1000 event on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) circuit and the women’s competition is a WTA 1000 event on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tour, making it one of the most prestigious clay tennis events in the World.
The event is generally held on clay courts during the second week of May. The event is also known as “Rome Masters” for the male version and “Internazionali BNL d’Italia” for its sponsorship. Rafael Nadal holds the record for most men’s singles titles with 10.
In this guide, I will try to cover every possible query regarding the Italian Open 2024 event.

Where to Watch Italian Open 2023 Online Anywhere in the World
While reading this guide, I am unsure where you belongs to. So, a standardized method to live stream the game is much needed. Here are the steps to follow to live stream the Italian Open 2024 online anywhere in the World.
- Subscribe to a VPN. A Virtual Private Network enables you virtually shift your location no matter where you are. That way, you will be able to access any streaming network or any OTT services. The OTT networks are geo-blocked and only serve in certain jurisdictions. For example, Amazon Prime Video is a streaming network that broadcasts in UK. So, to access it outside the UK, you must have a VPN to unblock the app that carry Amazon Prime Video online. Similarly, if you already have a subscription to SlingTV, FuboTV, huluTV, DirecTV Stream, and Youtube TV, you must set your location to the US server.
- After subscription, install it on your devices. A VPN is compatible with many devices, but if you have any hurdles, just consult the support team.
- Launch the VPN and set your location to the country whose broadcasters you want to access. For example, if you want to watch the games on US broadcasters, set your location to a US server and vice versa.
- Sign in to the streaming network. If you have not already subscribed to the one, make sure to subscribe first.
- Enjoy the live streaming.

How to Live Stream Italian Open 2024 for Free?
Firstly, I am not in favor of free sports streaming sites. The big reason is the light security fence allowing hackers to get into your PC without much effort. Most free tennis streaming sites lack the SSL Certificate, a must-have in today’s World.
Secondly, there are a lot of pop-ups and spam links that appear on the screen during the match. Even after these drawbacks, if you are willing to live stream with any free resource, I recommend you access them with a VPN. That way, your actual location will not be visible, and your gadget will not easily be hacked.
Here are the few streaming services I recommend as a second option to my friends:
