Awful Commentary
The video feeds seem to be the same video feeds as Tennis TV (which is ATP only and no challenger coverage, and more expensive), but there is no way to watch without the horrendous Tennis Channel commentators. They are insufferable. Give me a way to watch matches without them (I like the ambient sound, so mute isn’t a great option).
Tennis channel app also has great use of split screen, showing up to four matches at once and allowing you to select which one gives audio as well.
The app appears to be slightly less quality in bit depth than Tennis TV (resolution is the same), and this is using a 2G fiber connection. But I am guessing at that because it’s not obvious. The quality of the video feed, at least with a very fast connection, is quite good.
Layout of the app is excellent. It gives a breakdown by court, which is much harder to find on Tennis TV. I much prefer the layout and organization of Tennis Channel for watching a current tournament (Tennis TV has every ATP match for past decades and it’s easy to intuitively find those).
But since I cannot stand the Tennis Channel’s commentators, I watch via Tennis TV (ATP’s direct service). Unfortunately, the commentators make me hate this app. I wish I could fire all of them (Jim Courier is fine), but that’s a joke, but I really do I could just switch off the commentary. If so, I would be a permanent subscriber.

50/50 chance stream works
When stream works, app good. When stream broken, app ripoff.
Streaming quality improved
After two years away from this app because of constant streaming interruptions, I see a deal for $77 per year and decided to sign up. After a brief learning curve, I securely activated my account on three streaming devices from my phone. So far, the streaming of matches is high quality and, as previously enjoyed, the lack of commentators for early rounds is still appreciated. Also, the previous streaming interruptions which plagued the app seem to have been resolved. While the slams are not covered on the app, which is understandable when giant like ESPN and HBO own those rights, I appreciate that lower level tournaments, i.e., 125s, and Challengers, are fully covered. Also, having three different lengths of replays for singles (full match and two different highlights) is wonderful for catching up. If this keeps up, I will probably renew next year and may even give a higher rating.

Worthless
This is my second bad review of the tennis channel app for Apple TV. I work from home using a VPN and VOIP because my job requires me to talk to customers for my entire shift. Even with a reliable 500 mbps internet connection, this app is still incredibly glitchy. I can’t even watch a full point without the audio and video stalling! What is the issue? I have read the troubleshooting guides, changed the video settings, deleted and reinstalled the app and nothing helps. It has been this way for years. When will the developers fix it?

Worst streaming service out there
The only reason to watch this shoddy Sinclair product is because it’s the only game in town. Consistently poor streaming performance compared to every other service I’ve used.
Trash
Don’t waste your money
Awful No UAT STILL
I still see the same problem I probably saw a DECADE ago…literally several years ago. It is almost like something is fixed for a while, and then someone restores a previous version that brings back the same defect again. App keeps kicking me back 15 minutes and any time I switch views the tracking is messed up jumping around instead of maintaining playback position. And there is STILL no way in 2025 just to see a master replay schedule on demand like ESPN and watch exactly what was shown on air (not the world feed).

Great app
The Tennis Channel app is really organized with great coverage of all things tennis. I really like the clean interface and usability of the app
Bad app
I have to sign in too many times a day.
Terrible App
The app freezes after about 2 or 3 minutes and requires exiting the Live TV part of the app and go to the tournament section to select a match. Worst app we have ever used! Tried to remove the app and reinstall and the problem was the same.
Is a Fraud
Do not pay for this app. It has interface problems, sometimes the tennis channel 2 is not available and you will never watch live grand slams matches as Tennis channel does not have the rights of these events. Their response to complaints is very poor.
App crashes
It glitches and scratches, I tried this app years ago and cancelled subscription and tried again 2026 and it's still bad. Looks like tennis doesn't want to invest in this app. Bye
Lots of Tennis, Terrible Streaming Experience
With every Master/WTA 1000 plus every other tournament there is; player’s interviews and good analysis/commentary from legends of the sport, the coverage deserves five stars. However, the streaming experience and overall reliability of the app is just atrocious. It’s unfortunate because Tennis Channel holds the rights to every event here in the US. Tennis is not a difficult sport to broadcast from a technical standpoint so it’s all about Tennis Channel failing to provide a good consistent experience - the broadcast quality is simply unacceptable. From poor streaming quality, out of sync audio and and constant crashing, the app just doesn’t work. I ultimately decided to add it as a PRIME VIDEO channel - the video quality still bad but at least the Prime Video app is reliable. I really hope Tennis Channel can streamline the experience so we can all sit back and enjoy all the amazing tennis. As for those asking for Gram Slam Tennis coverage, they have no idea how expensive those packages are. And they’re basically standalone events every few months a year so subscribing to ESPN Unlimited and HBO MAX for those events is not that expensive when compared to traditional Cable TV, which besides DirecTV didn’t really offer all courts coverage.

App is amazing but add grand slam
This app is amazing I love how the highlights are. Can you please add grand slam matches
APP, STAFF, COMPANY NEEDS ENTIRE OVERHAUL. Read to avoid wasting your money. (Updated Review 6/9/26)
It is a shame that this is one of the few services that has access to all of the ATP/WTA tournaments over the year. Unfortunately, they charge an astronomical amount and have nothing to show for it. The content is there but the quality is not consistent. The image is jittery, stuttery, particularly on the “Match in 15” files. Their replays of the finals at both Indian Wells and Miami were a joke in that they forced the broadcast overlay over the matches so you were forced to sit through interviews instead of the actual games. The ATP audio mixing is ATROCIOUS. The commentators are always way too quiet with the action way too loud. The current mixing for the ATP Houston (3/2026) is ABYSMAL….like they’re speaking in the smallest emptiest bathroom that echoes..(and no it is not my audio equipment or my tv). Tennis Channel is just that greedy and sadly we all keep paying for it because they’re the only ones that give unfettered access…it’s just a shame they cannot get smart, creative, talented people on their audio/visual teams OR for the actual layout of the app particularly on AppleTV. It’s pedestrian and quite pathetic for the subscription fee they charge. Hopefully they’ll make improvements. Especially on the UX, the organization, and their audio/visual issues..because as it stands their app/subscription is not worth the price. Find another way to watch these matches.
5/2026-Italian Open Coco Gauff v Sierra. Consistent dropping of the feed. Glitches. Drop of audio. THIS COMPANY IS COMMITING FRAUD by promising a product and NOT delivering on it. They need to be sued for the literal absolutely dumbassery that takes place at this company. None of these dimwits understand how to run a media app. The REASON for their dropped feeds? Because they want to FORCE YOU, a PAID SUBSCRIBER to watch their FREE LIVE FEED(Which is taking up all the resources) so the Paid LIVE FEED drops consistently. They make it virtually impossible for you to watch a live event as a paid subscriber, unless you want to be forced to sit through their forced commercials on their FREE FEED. It is a HUGE RACQUET to get viewership on their FREE feed up. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO TENNIS CHANNEL. TRULY JUST DONT. They are scam artists and you will be utterly angry you wasted a single cent on this terrible terrible inept company and app. (Not to mention they literally have 4 different commentators for this ONE match. 2 on the FREE FEED and 2 on the PAID FEED(where you can’t hear or really watch the match anyway). Just utterly abysmal leadership and all around horrendous company that deserves to go under or at least needs to undergo an ENTIRE STAFF CHANGE from the ground up.
Updated 6/9/26: it seems Tennis Channel is still just as stupid as ever. Their company is probably one of the absolutely MOST INEPTLY ran I have ever seen. They are charging you AN ASTRONOMICAL price is for something that isn’t even WORTH paying $2 for. Everyone that has paid a subscription fee to this company should consider suing for fraud. Failing to deliver the advertised product. Their Match in 15 is not watchable, it glitches it stutters, it’s useless. Look at all the other reviews for this app. This app is not a fully realized or finished product and Tennis Channel is scamming subscribers with the promise of one.
Multiview? Forget it. You only get to multiview the matches that Tennis Channel’s beyond brain dead employees want to show you. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE DOING HERE.

Hbo bought rights
Tennis channel lost grand slam coverage so they just broadcast interviews. Waste of money
DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. UNRELIABLE APP AND VERY POOR LOW-RESOLUTION PICTURE QUALITY.
Update: Hey TC (and ESPN) check out HBO Max Sports > Tennis (French Open) UI layout to see how it’s done. Not perfect, but 10 x’s better than your ridiculous UI design, although I will admit the latest TC update has improved somewhat from earlier iterations.
First Review: Don’t give this app/company your business. Nothing has changed/improved in years. Try watching w/ TV Provider first before paying for a subscription, or only for a month. Personally, I have/would never pay for TC based on the constant issues and poor, blurry, low-resolution picture quality. It looks like a standard definition DVD or 480/720i broadcast PQ and looks terrible on a large HD/4K UHD OLED flat screens. Update: Latest update is a mess. Broke TV Provider connection and after logging back in it constantly ask me to log in when trying to select/watch live stream. It’s obviously a ploy to make you subscribe.

Do Better
The video quality on replays is trash! Like literally could not identify who was playing if not for the score bug and audio (knowing what each player’s grunt sounds like). It was that bad. On what planet is it acceptable to have such poor video quality on a PAID app? The multi view feature is clutch. I really like the “match in 15” feature as well but the execution, as I said is garbage, rendering it almost useless, because the video quality is so poor. Do better Tennis Channel! And now the app won’t load at all due to some technical error 🙄. Can I get a refund? Geez. Do better TC!

Constant glitching, uneducated English Commentators
I Can’t get through a replay without it cutting out and glitching these days. You guys need to fix this! Also, pay more women commentators who know the game so we don’t have to listen to some English guy who knows nothing about the skills, only says what everyone could say, what a shot! Or ohhhh what a bad miss. It is ridiculous. A few of the good women commentators thankfully do the bigger matches, but my gosh, I could commentate better than most of these guys. We are paying a PREMIUM for this app, and deserve way better than what we get.
