Australian Open 2024

Live Stream, TV, Schedule, Tickets, Seedings

The Australian Open is one of those events that will always hold special meaning for me personally as it is one I have attended personally in the past. Way back in 1997 I was in Melbourne during January as part of my gap year living and working in Australia so was fortunate to be in town for both the tennis and the Australian Grand Prix, 2 massive sporting events ticked off the bucket list in quick succession.

Aside from actually watching the tennis, the atmosphere in and around Melbourne Park is fabulous during the tennis. You have a spectacular setting right on the banks of the picturesque Yarra River, and plenty of greenery in the surrounding area to take a stroll, enjoy a picnic (or more likely a barbecue if you're fully embracing the local culture!). Even inside the stadium complex there's plenty of space to wander around between courts and take in different matches throughout the day, along with plenty of refreshment options at prices that aren't too unreasonable for such a major sporting event. Try a trip up to the top of the Eureka Tower too for some amazing panoramic views across the whole city.

Dates

This year the Australian Open Tournament will be held from 7th - 28th January.

TV & Live Streaming

The Australian Open has been one of the first top sporting events to fully embrace live online streaming and offers an extensive range of both live and delayed coverage via their official website, so hoping to see it return again this year:
