To do this, you need a VPN to change your IP address to an IP address from the UK. With that IP address, you can then create a free account on the site itv, on which both the men’s and women’s finals will be broadcast live. If you choose a VPN with a money-back guarantee, you can get your money back after the event. This way, no matter where you are, you can watch the finals of Roland Garros for free!

Step-by-step plan: watch Roland Garros for free with a VPN
First of all, you need a VPN with servers in the United Kingdom. Also, it would be nice if you have a VPN with a money-back guarantee, so you can ask for your money back after the weekend and you don’t have to pay anything extra to watch the finals.
Once you’ve chosen a good VPN and signed up for a (temporary) subscription, you can follow the steps below:
- Download the VPN and start it up.
- Log in with the account you created if necessary.
- Connect to a VPN server in the UK.
- Once the VPN is connected you need to keep it running in the background.
- Next, go to the itv website.
- Click on “Sign in” at the top right and then on “Sign up now”.
- Fill out the form (doesn’t have to be any real data except your email) and search Google for a randomly generated UK zip code.
- Then click “Submit.”
- In the confirmation email you’ll get, click on the link to complete the sign-up. You now have an itv account. If you did not get an email, click on a live stream on itv and you will get a prompt that you need to verify your email, if you click on that button you will still get the email.
- At the time of the final, make sure you have the VPN turned on to a server in the UK and go to the itv website. The women’s final will be broadcast on itv 4, the men’s final on itv 3.
