National Bank Open (Canadian Open) 2023 Schedule of Play, TV Channels, and Streaming Services

Canadian Open or Canadian Masters is an ATP 1000 tennis tournament that players in Canada annually on the hard courts in Ontario and Quebec. It is also called Rogers Cup or Nation Bank Open, as the National Bank of Canada currently sponsors it. It is one of the most famous tennis events in the world, where both women and men take part. The men play under ATP 1000 tour, while women play under the umbrella of WTA 1000 tour.

This year, the men’s event is organized in Toronto, while the women’s event is in Montreal.

Where to Live Stream National Bank Open ATP Toronto and WTA Montreal 2023 Anywhere in the World

If you are at home, TV channels can be your streaming solution for the National Bank Open 2023; however, if you are outside your home or belongs to other than the hosting country, you would definitely need a standard guide to live stream the ATP Toronto or WTA Toronto online.

Here are the steps to take for live streaming of this prestigious event:

  1. Subscribe to CyberGhost VPN, which is fast, reliable and secure. A virtual private network lets you change your location and be anywhere you want.
  2. After getting the subscription, clear the cache and cookies from your browser settings.
  3. Install the script on your device no matter what gadget you are using. The VPN is available for all iOS and Android devices.
  4. Launch the VPN and set the location to the country whose broadcasters you wish to unblock. For example, if you want to watch the games on US broadcasters like Tennis TV, you can just set your location to US and sign in to streaming services like SlingTV, fuboTV, huluTV and DirecTV stream to catch your favourite tennis games live.
  5. After signing in to the streaming services, just search for Tennis TV and enjoy the game right on your mobile or laptop.

Why do you need a VPN to stream online the Canadian Open 2023?

While reading this guide, I don’t know where you really belong. The real researchers of this query are travellers too. If you strictly follow tennis, I believe you will have a subscription to some streaming services that carry Tennis TV or ESPN. If you are US national, you may have a subscription to SlingTV, which carries Tennis TV.

But the real issue is raised when you are travelling outside the USA. Most OTT platforms, including the SlingTV, do not work outside the designated geographical regions. In simple words, SlingTV is blocked outside the USA. So to overcome this problem, a VPN thus helps to relocate you to the USA virtually.

This applies to every streaming service. For example, if you want to access Canadian Streaming services from anywhere in the world, you have to set the server’s location to Canada and so on…

How to Watch National Bank Open 2023 Online For Free

Many free streaming websites and apps out there bring you free streaming to the National Bank Open 2023. But hardly of them are reliable and get you to stream hassle-free. I do not recommend free websites as they may hurt your security and privacy and hack your data from your mobile or laptop. But even if you are willing to stream for free, ensure you have a fine-quality VPN to protect your devices.

Here are the free streaming sites you can access and enjoy this year’s free Canadian Open streaming.
