The Billie Jean King Cup, formerly the Federation (Fed) Cup but renamed after the tennis superstar in 2020, brings some of the world's best female tennis players together each year to compete on behalf of their country. Canada won the most recent title in 2023. While the US holds the record for most titles at 18, the US hasn't appeared in the final since 2017. This year, the BJK Cup is held in Malaga, Spain and will overlap with the men's Davis Cup.

  • Where to watch the Billie Jean King Cup in the US The Billie Jean King Cup airs on the Tennis Channel in the US, which is available to live stream through a month-to-month live TV streaming package like Sling TV, Fubo, or DirecTV Stream. All three options rank among our list of the best sports streaming services and are great ways to watch year-round tennis, including the ongoing ATP Finals and the upcoming Davis Cup.

    Sling is the cheapest of the three options. The Tennis Channel is available with the Sports Extra add-on ($11 per month), which can be tacked onto either of the Sling base plans ($40 per month). This will run you $51 per month, but Sling typically runs a promo that will shave a few bucks off of your first month of service. Sling's base plans carry anywhere from 35 to 45 live channels, and the Sports Extra adds 10-12 more options.

    DirecTV Stream and Fubo may be more expensive than Sling, but the services offer over double the number of live channels. To access the Tennis Channel on DirecTV Stream , you'll need to get the Entertainment + Sports Pack plan, which normally costs $101.98 per month. Signing up right now, customers can get $15 per month waived on their first two months, effectively knocking off the price of the Sports Pack add-on for two months. New customers can also try out DirecTV Stream for free for five days. For Fubo , accessing the Tennis Channel requires subscribing to the Elite with Sports Plus plan, which costs $99.99 per month. New customers can get a one-week free trial and save $20 on their first month of service.
