How to watch 'Ocean with David Attenborough' online from anywhere
"After almost 100 years on the planet," says the world's most famous naturalist in "Ocean with David Attenborough", "I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea." His latest film – a theatrical release in May to coincide with his 99th birthday – is available to watch and stream from June 7. Here's how to watch "Ocean with David Attenborough" online from anywhere with a VPN. ► U.S. date and time: "Ocean with David Attenborough" premieres on National Geographic on Saturday, June 7 at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT and be available to stream globally the next day.• U.S. — NatGeo via Sling TV or Fubo | Disney+ or Hulu• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN And that message is the need to help the ocean recover from the effects of unprecedented challenges such as destructive fishing techniques and mass coral reef bleaching because a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing. The tone is as serious as you would expect but not downbeat. The celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker has lived through the great age of ocean discovery and takes us through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the majesty of the open ocean. He then draws on a lifetime of knowledge to reveal how Earth's vast, interconnected waterways can be restored. Here's everything you need to watch "Ocean with David Attenborough" online from wherever you are. If you're not at home in the U.S. when "Ocean with David Attenborough" streams, you can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN.

The streaming release dates a month later tie-in with 'World Oceans Day', June's United Nations Ocean Conference 2025 in Nice, France, and midway through the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). 'My lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Over the last hundred years, scientists and explorers have revealed remarkable new species, epic migrations and dazzling, complex ecosystems beyond anything I could have imagined as a young man. In this film, we share some of those wonderful discoveries, uncover why our ocean is in such poor health, and, perhaps most importantly, show how it can be restored to health. This could be the moment of change. Nearly every country on Earth has just agreed, on paper, to achieve this bare minimum and protect a third of the ocean. Together, we now face the challenge of making it happen.' We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad.

Both sides have a six-point buffer above Venezuela in the play-off spot, so the winner of this clash could potentially move nine points clear of the chasing pack.

2025 French Open: How to watch quarterfinals matches, new channels, full schedule and more
If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission. Pricing and availability are subject to change. The second grand slam of the year is ongoing at Roland-Garros this week. The 2025 French Open is already in the quarterfinals. The defending champions, Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek have both made it through so far — though notably neither player occupies the top-seeded spot in their respective singles tournaments. Jannik Sinner is the No. 1 seed in the men's tournament, Aryna Sabalenka is the No. 1 seed in the women's. American tennis star Coco Gauff is the No. 2 seed on the women's side. In the U.S., coverage of this year's tournament is airing on TNT and truTV, and every match is streaming live on HBO Max. Are you ready to watch the French Open? Here's how to follow all the action down on the clay courts at Roland-Garros. How to watch the 2025 French Open: Dates: May 25 - June 8 Advertisement Time: Play starts daily at 5 a.m. ET Location: Stade Roland-Garros TV channel: TNT, truTV Streaming: HBO Max When is the 2025 French Open? The 2025 French Open will take place between May 25 and June 8. Singles play begins May 25, with the men's final closing things out on June 8. French Open time difference: Thanks to the time difference between the U.S. and France, the tennis tournament at Roland-Garros will start daily play at 5 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT. 2025 French Open channel: In a shift from last year, the 2025 Roland-Garros tennis tournament will air across TNT and truTV — with all matches streaming on Max (soon to be officially re-named HBO Max). How to watch the French Open without cable: Disney Best bundle with French Open coverage Max, Disney+ and Hulu bundle (ad-free) The Disney+, Hulu, Max bundle gets you exactly what it sounds like: access to Disney+, Hulu and Max. If you go ad-free ($29.99/month) you'll save up to 38% off compared to individually paying for all three services — and gain access to all French Open coverage. If you don't already have access to these platforms, this is a great option that really covers your bases, streaming-wise. You'll get access to three vast libraries, fully stocked with everything MCU, all those Disney princesses (new and old), Hulu's robust catalog of shows on-demand the day after they air, including the latest episodes of Abbott Elementary, Grey's Anatomy and more, and the most recent seasons of The Last of Us, The Pitt and White Lotus. $29.99/month at Disney How to watch the French Open with a VPN: If you want to catch every match of the French Open and don't currently subscribe to HBO Max or a live TV streaming service, in Australia a majority of the action is streaming free with ads on 9Now, and in Austria it's all streaming free with ads on ServusTV. Advertisement Don't live in either of those places? Don't worry, you can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you're looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to next F1 race without a cable package, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user. Stream French Open coverage ExpressVPN ExpressVPN offers 'internet without borders,' meaning you can tune into an Austrian or Australian livestream this month as opposed to paying for another streaming subscription. All you'll need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your server location and then find free livestream coverage on 9Now or ServusTV. ExpressVPN's added protection, speed and range of location options make it an excellent choice for first-time VPN users looking to stretch their streaming abilities, plus, it's Engadget's top pick for the best streaming VPN. New users can save 61% when they sign up for ExpressVPN's 2-year subscription. Plus, the service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, in case you're nervous about trying a VPN.
