The Queen's Club Championship, also known this year as the HSBC Championship for sponsor reasons, is split into two parts. The men's event ran from Monday, June 9 until Sunday, June 15, and the women's one is now underway until Sunday, June 22.
It's a tennis tournament that fills the gap between the French Open and Wimbledon, hosted at the Queen's Club in London, just down the road from Wimbledon, which is one of the reasons that it's often seen as a warm-up event for that British tennis Grand Slam.
While major tennis players sit out the Queen's Club Championship to prepare for Wimbledon, there are still some big names playing including Carlos Alcaraz, Jessica Pegula, Taylor Fritz and Zheng Qinwen.
So here's how to watch the Queen's Club tennis championship online or on TV, depending on your options.

If you're going to be away from your normal TV setup but still want to watch the tennis, you might run into some problems. Thankfully, you can solve this exact issue with a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
A VPN lets you change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to your favorite sport, show or other content even if you're not there. Our favorite is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
