Broadcast and Where to Watch
Viewers in the UK can watch the final on the World Feed via streaming platforms or channels that carry international tennis broadcasts. The UK domestic broadcasters such as ITV or BBC do not currently hold rights specifically for the Wuhan Open, so international streaming is the primary option.
In the USA, fans can access the match through ESPN or the WTA TV streaming service. ESPN regularly broadcasts premier women’s tennis events, while WTA TV offers global live coverage with expert commentary by the World Feed team.
For Australian audiences, streaming via the WTA’s official platforms is the best option to watch Pegula and Gauff contest the 2025 Wuhan Open title live, as free-to-air coverage of mid-tier WTA events remains limited. The international nature of the World Feed ensures a high standard of commentary and analysis.
