How to watch Federer vs Hurkacz live online free (men’s quarter-finals)

watch Federer vs Hurkacz live online

This year’s Wimbledon tournament might have begun on June 28, but the men’s singles quarter-final match between Federer and Hurkacz won’t be until July 7. It’s all to play for here, so we should have an exciting match to look forward to. Thankfully, with dozens of international broadcasters, it’s easier than ever for you to follow all of the action online. Take a look below to find out how to live stream Federer vs Hurkacz from the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, or anywhere else abroad.

Wimbledon is one of tennis’ most prestigious tournaments, which means unauthorized streams are almost certain to appear. We don’t recommend using these, though. To begin with, you can’t count on them since they’re frequently taken down mid-way through a match. What’s more, the video quality is usually far lower than that of official broadcasters. With so many completely legitimate, free ways to watch Wimbledon online, why waste time with third-party sources?

Wimbledon 2021 will be shown on a variety of geo-restricted streaming services. If you’re traveling abroad and intend to watch on the same platforms you would back home, you’ll probably need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to do so.

How to stream Federer vs Hurkacz live online from anywhere

VPNs are mostly used by people looking to enhance their online privacy. One of the ways these services do this is by changing your IP address, which can make it look like you’re browsing the web from a different location. Needless to say, this makes it easy to use geo-blocked services (such as those showing Wimbledon) from abroad:

First, you’ll need a VPN. We recommend using NordVPN but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are two speedy alternatives with great streaming capabilities.
The next step is to install the app onto whichever device you plan to watch the match on. Most providers permit around five simultaneous connections, so you might as well add it to any other device you use regularly too.
Open the app, log in, and choose a server in your home country. This will spoof your location, preventing local services (ESPN in the US, for instance) from realizing you’re actually abroad.
Now, try watching something on your chosen streaming platform. If your video fails to load or displays an error, we’d recommend clearing your cookies and cache before trying again. Alternatively, you could get in touch with your VPN’s support team.

This match will air live, which is why we strongly recommend you make sure your VPN works ahead of time. After all, nobody wants to miss out because of an easily-preventable technical problem. Remember: many providers have customer support staff ready to help 24/7.

How to watch Federer vs Hurkacz free of charge on US TV

Every single Wimbledon fixture will be shown on both ESPN and Tennis Channel. Naturally, this includes Federer vs Hurkacz, and if your cable plan includes either channel, you’ll be able to watch online at no added cost. Don’t have cable? No problem: you can stream ESPN live using a wide range of over-the-top services.

For instance, you could watch via YouTube TV, FuboTV, or Hulu with Live TV. All of these services come with a free trial of at least one week, so if you sign up on July 4 or later, you’ll be able to watch the rest of Wimbledon for free. Just make sure to cancel in time since these services are pretty pricey, at $64.99 USD per month. Already used up your free trials? Sling TV is offering your first month for just $10, instead of the usual $35, making it a fairly low-cost way to watch. Finally, you could sign up for a Tennis Channel online pass; these cost $109.99 per year and unfortunately, there’s no monthly subscription option.

These services mentioned above are all regionally restricted, so you’ll need a VPN to use them abroad. NordVPN includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, meaning you can stream Wimbledon risk-free and claim a full refund if it fails to meet your standards.

Where else can I live stream Federer vs Hurkacz online?

The good news is that there are dozens of international networks showing this match. Just take a look below to find out how to watch Federer vs Hurkacz outside of the US:

UK

There are two ways to watch Wimbledon online in the UK, one paid and one free. Eurosport costs £4.99 per month, whereas BBC iPlayer is completely free to use. Both services are showing the same coverage, though (all matches live, with replays shortly after), so unless you’re already a Eurosport subscriber, there’s really no reason to choose this platform.

To watch live or to use BBC iPlayer in any way, you’re legally required to have a TV license. It’s technically possible to stream Wimbledon without a TV license if you only watch matches on Eurosport, and only then, on-demand. Surprisingly, neither site actually verifies whether you have a license before allowing you to stream.

These services are both geo-restricted. To stream Wimbledon on them from outside of the UK, you’ll need a VPN.

Canada

TSN has exclusive broadcasting rights to this tournament in Canada. As such, if you’d like to watch, you’ll have to either sign in with your cable provider details or purchase a digital pass. Prices start at $7.99 CAD for a one-day pass and rise to $19.99 for a month-long subscription. On the plus side, TSN will show every single fixture and upload replays shortly after each ends.

This platform normally can’t be used anywhere other than Canada. With the right VPN, however, you can access it as you travel.

Australia

Most of the 2021 Wimbledon matches will be shown on Channel Nine, which means you can watch online for free via 9Now. Just remember to create an account before Federer vs Hurkacz actually begins to save time.

For full coverage of every single fixture, you’ll need a Stan Sport account. These come with a seven-day free trial, and as Stan itself has a 30-day free trial, you’ll effectively be able to stream the remainder of the tournament for free. Again, make sure to cancel both services, since Stan and Stan Sport are normally $10 AUD per month each.

Stan Sport and 9Now are region-locked. If you’re traveling outside of Australia, you won’t be able to watch without a VPN.

Other locations

Still not sure where to watch Federer vs Hurkacz online? Here’s the good news: Wimbledon has actually put together an official list of its international broadcast partners. This makes it easy to see, at a glance, which network is showing the tournament in your country.

Which player is more likely to win: Federer or Hurkacz?

Roger Federer is the favorite in this match. To begin with, he’s won Wimbledon outright eight times, while Hurkacz has never made it past the third round. Further, his win percentage at Grand Slam tournaments is 86%, which is almost unheard of. Still, Hurkacz is one of the best tennis players in the world and in the heat of the moment, anything can happen, so this match is still well worth watching.
