If you have Amazon Prime UK and love tennis, there’s some awesome news. The U.S. Open will stream for free for customers starting Monday.

The U.S. Open is America’s biggest tennis competition. One of the annoying things for tennis fans in the UK is not being able to watch the games live. Well, that’s not the case for Amazon Prime UK customers.

Amazon has acquired the exclusive rights to stream all the matches live on the UK version of Amazon Prime Video. It’s at no extra cost if you already have a Prime subscription–and if you don’t, there is a 30-day free trial, so you really can get it for nothing!

This is the first time a major tennis tournament has streamed live on a service. Hopefully, it all goes well and Amazon offers various tournaments around the world in the future.

The U.S. Open starts on Monday, August 27. You can stream the matches from 4 p.m. until 4 a.m. local time daily. There will also be a full day of highlights to view afterward from 7 a.m. local time every day. So, if you have work the next day and can’t possibly stay up until 4 a.m., you can stream catch up with the highlights the next morning.

Full-match replays will also be available. When streaming, you’ll get access to multiple streams for various courts, giving you all the angles you could possibly need. It will almost feel like you’re there.
