MELBOURNE — The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. local time (AEDT).

For viewers abroad, that corresponds to 3:30 a.m. ET in the United States, 8:30 a.m. GMT in the United Kingdom, and 3:30 p.m. WIB in Indonesia.

Broadcasters including Nine Network in Australia, ESPN in the Americas, and Eurosport/Discovery+ in Europe will carry the final live, with streaming available through regional platforms and the official Australian Open app for those searching Australian Open where to watch information.

Djokovic reached the final after defeating Jannik Sinner in a four-hour semi-final, becoming the oldest man in the Open Era to reach the Melbourne title match. He is bidding for a record 25th Grand Slam title and an 11th Australian Open crown.

Alcaraz advanced after a five-hour and 27-minute marathon against Alexander Zverev — the longest semi-final in tournament history — raising questions about recovery ahead of the final.

Sunday’s match will be the 10th meeting between the two players. Djokovic holds a narrow 5–4 head-to-head advantage and leads 3–1 on hard courts.

Tactically, the contest is expected to revolve around baseline exchanges. Djokovic thrives in long rallies and has spent fewer hours on court during the tournament, while Alcaraz relies on pace, variety, and explosive movement.

At stake is history for Djokovic and a first Australian Open title for Alcaraz, as global audiences tune in to Australian Open live coverage for one of the most anticipated tennis finals of the year.
