The BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells is always a highlight of the year in the Californian sunshine and this season as opposed to it's usual time slot marks the start of the last portion of the season.
The likes of Bianca Andreescu, Emma Raducanu, Simona Halep, Karolina Pliskova and Elina Svitolina on the Women's side and Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev will strut their stuff on the hard courts.
This in absence of the likes of Ashleigh Barty, Naomi Osaka and the so called Big Three.
But how can you tune in between Wednesday 6th October - Sunday 17th October 2021.
In the US, exclusive coverage will be given to the Tennis Channel and their digital subscription service Tennis Channel Plus.
They will begin their broadcast on Wednesday October 6 with a full day of coverage of the first round in the WTA.
While in the UK, it will be shown solely on Amazon Prime which can utilise a free 30-day trial or £7.99 per month with most ATP/WTA tournaments shown on the platform.
Other countries such as France, Czech Republic, Russia and Sweden will show the tournament on Eurosport with Ziggo Sport taking the rights for the Netherlands.
