Australian Open live results: how to follow every round
In short
Melbourne is nine to eleven hours ahead of Belgium, so many Australian Open matches fall between midnight and 6am Belgian time. With Napoleon Sports, you can follow both draws live and for free, no registration needed. In 2026, Carlos Alcaraz won his first title among the men and completed the career Grand Slam; among the women, Elena Rybakina won her second Grand Slam title.
How the tournament is structured
The Australian Open is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments in tennis and takes place at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia. In 2027, the tournament runs from 11 to 31 January, with qualifying matches through 16 January. The main draw begins on Sunday 17 January and wraps up with the women's final on Saturday 30 January and the men's final on Sunday 31 January.
The tournament is played on hardcourt, a surface that's faster than the clay courts of Roland Garros but slower than the grass of Wimbledon. The main draw features 128 players in each of the ATP (men's) and WTA (women's) tournaments. It's a single-elimination format: lose and you're out, with no second chance.
Because the schedule is constantly adjusted for weather and how matches are progressing, matches can start at slightly different times than planned. If you want to follow everything live, it's worth checking the current results regularly.
The time difference with Australia
Melbourne is nine to eleven hours ahead of Belgium, depending on daylight saving in both countries. That means many Australian Open matches are already over while you're still asleep or just waking up in Belgium.
When it's morning in Melbourne and the first matches begin around 9am local time, it's still deep into the night in Belgium. Anyone in Belgium wanting to watch live is therefore following many matches between midnight and 6am. It can also happen that a match you started following in the evening doesn't finish until the next morning.
The upside: if you check in during the day, you'll immediately find a batch of finished results waiting. Napoleon Sports' live scoreboard always shows whether a match is still in progress or already finished, so you know exactly what to expect.
