The second-round action of the US Open continues this Thursday at Flushing Meadows in New York, and of the many matches you can watch, our pick of the day sees former world no. 1 and 2012 US Open champion Andy Murray take on one of the brightest young talents on the circuit, 20-year-old Canadian tennis prodigy Felix Auger-Aliassime. It’s scheduled for the evening session at Arthur Ashe Stadium today, and you can follow our guide to watch a Murray vs Aliassime live stream – catch all the 2020 US Open tennis online from anywhere right now.
Murray vs Felix Aliassime live stream
Andy Murray takes on Felix Augur-Aliassime at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the US Open’s biggest stage, tonight in the second of two evening session matches. Play is expected to get under way at around 8.15pm ET/5.15pm PT, or roughly 1.15am BST in the UK. Full live streaming and TV channel details for the match are below – and you can watch your preferred coverage from anywhere with this 100% risk-free ExpressVPN trial.
Auger-Aliassime grew up watching Andy Murray and was in the stands as an 11-year-old to see the Scot in action at the US Open nine years ago. Yep, there’s a 13 year age gap between the players, with 15th seeded Felix – currently ranked 21st in the world – the favourite heading into tonight’s clash.
Murray did what Murray so often does in his first-round match against Yoshihito Nishioka on Tuesday, coming within a whisker of elimination before willing his way back into the match and completing yet another unlikely turnaround in four hours and 39 minutes. It’s the most tennis he’s played in a year and a half, and the hope for any neutral is that he’s got enough in the tank to do it all again today.
Auger-Aliassime’s first-round draw was no walk in the park either, lasting just shy of four hours as he beat Thiago Monteiro in four sets. The 2016 Junior US Open champion is a fast starter and a big hitter, but he’s struggled with his serve of late – something Murray definitely knows how to attack.
Thursday promises to be another epic night of tennis action at Arthur Ashe stadium, so read on and join us as we explain how to watch Andy Murray vs Felix Auger-Aliassime online today and get a US Open live stream wherever you are in the world today.

How to live stream the US Open 2020 and watch tennis online in Australia
To watch the US Open, all you really need to know is that ESPN has the rights to live stream tennis in Australia and will be broadcasting the 2020 tournament.
The channel is available on pay TV courtesy of Foxtel and the action generally starts Down Under at 2am AEST each day, though the Thursday evening session at Arthur Ashe Stadium starts at 9am on Friday Australia time, with Murray vs Felix expected to begin at around 11am.
This is actually great news for cord cutters, as Aussie streaming service Kayo Sports includes ESPN coverage in its packages. A Kayo Sports Basic Package costs $25 per month and allows users to stream across two devices simultaneously, while a Kayo Sports Premium Package provides three concurrent streams for $35 per month.
Needless to say, this makes it super-affordable if you share with friends, family or fellow tennis fans – plus Kayo offers a FREE trial period so you can watch some of the event for free this August.
Better still, free-to-air SBS Viceland will also get in on the action from Wednesday, September 9, which is when play switches to a 2am start. This means that Aussie viewers can make use of the free SBS On Demand streaming service to tune in.
If you’re away from Australia at the moment, you’ll need to go down the VPN route as set out above.
