The BNP Paribas Open is underway, marking the first 1000-level ATP and WTA tournament of the year on US soil. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Indian Wells, including global live streaming options for today's top matches.

Indian Wells, aka the BNP Paribas Open, brings top talent from the ATP and WTA to Southern California. Both Jack Draper and Mirra Andreeva return to defend their titles. Other top ATP competitors that have made it to the round of 32 include Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, and Taylor Fritz. Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Świątek, Naomi Osaka, Amanda Anisimova, Madison Keys, Jessica Pegula, and Alexandra Eala are among the most notable names from the WTA.

Coca Gauff retired injured from her match against Philippina sensation Alexa Eala last night, and Antonia Ruzic continued her run of form from Dubai to knock out Olympic champion QinQewn Zeng over the weekend. In the men's game, it was a tough Sunday for the Americans, with both Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul getting early exits.

Where to watch Indian Wells in the US

The Tennis Channel is the home of the Indian Wells tournament in the US. Coverage will be available across the flagship Tennis Channel and Tennis Channel 2 (T2). You can subscribe to the Tennis Channel service directly for $12 a month or get the networks through a live TV streaming service. Three of the best live TV streaming services we've tested are DirecTV, Fubo, and Sling TV.

The Tennis Channel is available through Fubo's budget-friendly Sports + News plan, which costs $56 a month. A subscription offers around 26 sports and news-centric channels and access to ESPN Unlimited. New users can get $10 off their first month after a five-day free trial. If you want both the Tennis Channel and T2, you'll need to opt for Fubo's Elite plan, which costs $84 a month ($54 in the first month) and carries over 200 channels.

The Tennis Channel and Tennis Channel 2 are available in DirecTV's Choice, Ultimate, and Premier plans. Choice carries 125+ channels, including pretty much everything found in a cable subscription. It also unlocks access to ESPN Unlimited. Subscriptions cost $95 a month, but you can get $10 a month off your first three months of service. Just keep in mind that regional sports fees will add a little extra month, and you'll see the estimated prices when you start the checkout process. New customers can get a five-day free trial.

Sling TV offers the Tennis Channel in its Sports Extra add-on, which you can tack onto a Sling Orange subscription. Sling Orange ($46 a month) carries ESPN and around 33 other channels. The Sports Extra add-on ($11 a month) mixes in a handful of other sports-centric networks. While this will run you $57 a month, there's also an option to get Sling Orange (and add-ons) in cheaper short-term packages, which can be good if you're only interested in watching one day, one weekend, or one week of matches. For example, you can get a single-day Sling Orange pass for $5 and the Sports Extra add-on for $1.

Where to watch Indian Wells in the UK

In the UK, the Indian Wells tournament will be available through Sky Sports. Prices vary from plan to plan, but you can learn more in our guide to the best Sky TV deals and plans. UK tennis fans can also stream the action through a NOW Sports subscription, with single-day passes going for £15.

Where to watch Indian Wells in the Philippines

Great news for Alex Eala fans: there's a handy free option to enjoy Indian Wells live streams in the Philippines. There's just the one channel, so you won't have much choice over specific games, but we have seen it prioritise Eala's games, making it a must-watch.

The channel has been showing other matches over the last few days, too. So hopefully it'll carry on free coverage through to the finals this weekend.

Head on over to Blast TV and create a free account to watch. If you're outside the Philippines, you'll need a VPN to tune in - we can confirm this option works.

How to watch Indian Wells from anywhere

Tennis fans traveling abroad can still access their usual watch options with the aid of a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs are cybersecurity tools that let people temporarily change the virtual location of their devices. This way, they can access their usual websites and apps from anywhere, without being interrupted by travel plans. VPNs are also instant ways to boost online security and privacy. Since the services we've highlighted require country-specific payment methods, this option will work best for those who are just traveling away from home right now.

NordVPN is our go-to recommendation. It's a top-rated option with an impressive selection of global servers and a 30-day money-back guarantee. For a limited time, a new NordVPN deal will even let you snag a free Amazon gift card when you subscribe to select two-year plans. You can learn more about the service in our official NordVPN review.

Note: VPN use is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content may constitute a breach of the terms of use for some services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
