I have skysports. I want to watch Australian Open during GB daylight hours.  Not 12.30am.

The Australian Open is on Eurosport. If you can't watch live or record, full replays are available on Discovery+ or in the Catch Up TV section (go to Channels, then Eurosport). Replays are also shown on Eurosport 2 during the day.

@CLEOPATRA111 

 

Of all the Grand Slams, Sky only has rights to the US Open.

 

As @xenon81 indicates, comments and complaints about scheduling of Australian Open coverage in the UK should be directed to Eurosport, but an 11 hour time difference does present some inherent challenges.

@CLEOPATRA111  Do you knownhow timezones work?    If you can't wach it live Eurosport will be rerunning matched in UK daytime hours, or on their app, other than that there isn't much you can do if you want to watch it live.

As well as selected live matches on one or both of the Eurosport channels, the Eurosport channels will also show replays of selected matches during the day in review and highlight programmes.
There is also Eurosport 4k for the Australian Open Tennis.


Full coverage is via the Discovery + app on Sky Q and Sky Stream/Glass.

Open the Discovery+ app (free to Sky customers) on your Sky box..

As well as the live matches to choose, you can choose different languages and Ambient Sound.

The trick play has watch from start and selected timeline events during the matches.

Full match replays are available on the app too.

Australian open

There is a problem this year with the commentator language,  some matches only have french,Italian or Spanish commentators and no possibility to change to English, is this the future of tennis coverage on discovery plus

Re: watch aussie tennis during daytime in GB

You can't choose the language on a few matches, discovery plus confirmed it !

It has happened occassionally with cycling on discovery plus.

 

It really depends on how many matches are going on at the time and if there are  enough commentator. You could have 8 or 9 matches on at once, that needs a lot of commentators.

 

Any complaints on lack of English commentary should be directed to discovery plus.

Discovery plus has no intention to fix it, after 13 emails they told me that's how it is!

Firstly sky don't show any of the Austrailian Open. Eurosport and Discovery Plus are separate entities to Sky.

 

Secondly if you go to sports on Discovery Plus app or website, go to Australian Open and scroll down.

There is a section there for all replays

Thanks for reply, I realise that it isn't actually sky that show it, I have both Eurosport and discovery plus included in my sky package I do not want to watch replays I want to watch them live and I can only ever find Eurosport 1 and 2 showing them live and only a couple of live courts on discovery plus, definitely not all courts

I'm not aware that's a commitment which has been made anywhere, and if it has then it's mistaken (or a misinterpretation of the presence of Eurosport channels in the Sky EPG and the Discovery+ app hosted on Sky hardware)

 

Sky claims 'complete coverage' for the ATP and WTA tours (live only) and the US Open: Australian, French and British Grand Slam event rights are held elsewhere.

Complaints about lack of live coverage of the Australian Open should be addressed to Eurosport/Discovery (so ultimately Warner Bros Discovery Inc) : that's not something Sky Group (a division of the Comcast Corporation) has control over because it doesn't have broadcast rights to the event.

Looking at the discovery plus app, they have coverage of 8 matches scheduled in the upcoming section (and 1 cycle race)  starting at midnight, another 11 cued for 2:30 and 3am (subject to change)
