Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz final live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: Australian Open 2026

History will be on the line as Djokovic and Alcaraz go head-to-head for the 10th time.
The stage is set for a generational showdown at Australian Open 2026 as Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz prepare to collide in the men’s singles final at Melbourne Park. Two eras of men’s tennis meet under the lights of Rod Laver Arena, with history, legacy, and records firmly on the line.
Djokovic arrives in the final after producing one of the most resilient performances of the tournament, grinding down two-time defending champion Jannik Sinner in a five-set epic. At 38, the Serbian legend once again showcased his unmatched mental strength, defensive brilliance, and ability to raise his level when it matters most.
His victory not only ended Sinner’s Melbourne reign but also made Djokovic the oldest Australian Open finalist in the Open Era.
Standing across the net will be Alcaraz, who reached his maiden Australian Open final after surviving a marathon semi-final against Alexander Zverev, the longest match in the tournament’s history.
Battling cramps, pressure, and momentum swings, the world number one displayed extraordinary courage and shot-making to prevail in five sets. In doing so, the Spaniard became the youngest player to reach the final of all four Grand Slams and continued his rapid ascent toward all-time greatness.

The final also carries a compelling narrative in their rivalry. Djokovic holds a narrow edge in their head-to-head 5-4, but Alcaraz has enjoyed the upper hand in Grand Slam finals, having beaten the Serbian icon at Wimbledon twice previously.
However, the 24-time Grand Slam champion had knocked out the Spaniard from this very competition last year in the quarters.
While Djokovic boasts a flawless 10-0 record in Australian Open finals and is chasing a record-extending 25th major title, Alcaraz is eyeing a career Grand Slam at just 22, which would make him the youngest-ever to accomplish this feat.
With both players unbeaten this season and coming off emotionally draining semi-final victories, Sunday’s final promises high intensity, tactical depth, and dramatic momentum shifts.
Experience versus youth, resilience versus explosiveness, and legacy versus ambition collide in what shapes up to be one of the most anticipated Australian Open finals in recent memory.
