How to follow Wimbledon on the BBC

Wimbledon begins on Monday – and you can follow every minute live across the BBC.

World number one Jannik Sinner will be defending his men’s singles crown, with rival and two-time winner Carlos Alcaraz missing with a wrist injury.

Poland’s Iga Swiatek is the defending women’s champion, having beat Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0 in last year’s showpiece.

The tournament takes place from Monday, 29 June to Sunday, 11 July, with coverage across all BBC platforms.

Every match from all 18 courts is available live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app, and there will also be daily television coverage on BBC One and BBC Two.

There is a dedicated Wimbledon Extra channel on BBC iPlayer, with match highlights available on demand throughout the tournament across platforms.

The BBC Sport website and app will have daily live text commentaries and in-play clips alongside match reports, analysis and features.

There will be radio coverage across 5 Live, 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds, starting from 13:00 BST on weekdays and 12:00 on weekends, as well as a daily podcast via the ‘All About Wimbledon’ feed on BBC Sounds.

John McEnroe and Tim Henman will also return for to Radio 5 Live’s iconic 6-Love-6 show.

On site, a new analysis suite will help provide more tactical insight, alongside bespoke video breakdowns of key matches, players and talking points.

BBC iPlayer will have an inclusive feed for Centre Court for fans who are blind or visually impaired, using synchronised spatial audio cues and augmented visual overlays to provide match action.

Sinner is the favourite to win the men’s title, particularly with Alcaraz absent.

All-time great Novak Djokovic continues his quest for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam title – and an eighth at SW19, which would equal Roger Federer’s men’s record.

French Open champion Alexander Zverev, last year’s semi-finalist Flavio Cobolli and big-serving American Ben Shelton will be among the other contenders.

Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam final that world number one Aryna Sabalenka has not reached, having lost in the semi-finals three times.

World number four Jessica Pegula, last year’s runner-up Anisimova and eighth-ranked Elina Svitolina are all bidding for a first major singles title.

World number two Elena Rybakina has some pedigree at Wimbledon, having won the title in 2022, while recent French Open winner Mirra Andreeva reached the quarter-finals last year.

Six British players are ranked high enough to receive direct entry into the singles draws.

Cameron Norrie and Emma Raducanu are the British men’s and women’s number ones respectively. They are joined in the main draw by Katie Boulter, Jack Draper, Jan Choinski and Francesca Jones.

Men’s singles wildcards were given to six British players – Jacob Fearnley, Arthur Fery, Jack Pinnington Jones, Toby Samuel, Harry Wendelken and Felix Gill.

Six British women also received main-draw singles wildcards. They were Harriet Dart, Alicia Dudeney, Hannah Klugman, Mika Stojsavljevic, Katie Swan and Mimi Xu.

The Wimbledon men’s and women’s singles draws take place on Friday, 26 June.

The total prize fund at this year’s Wimbledon will be £64.2m, following the largest annual increase in the event’s history.

The singles’ champions will each take home £3.6m with first-round losers paid £80,000.

More than £6m has been set aside for the qualifying competition – an increase of 25%.

Overall prize money has increased by £10.7m, with leading players welcoming the 20% increase in prize money as a “genuine and significant step forward”.

However they will still expand their protests about prize money – limiting the time they offer at the media weekend and restricting post-match appearances to 15 minutes throughout the first week.

The 15-minute limit is meant to symbolise the 15% of revenue which – broadly speaking – the Grand Slams allocate to prize money.

Isa Guha and Clare Balding will guide the day’s action from the BBC studio, with Andy Stevenson presenting coverage of the wheelchair finals.

They will be joined by a host of Grand Slam champions including John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King, Pat Cash, and Tracy Austin.

Tim Henman and Annabel Croft will provide inside analysis, while Jamie Murray, Eugenie Bouchard and Kyle Edmund will join the team this year.

Former British number one Laura Robson will be courtside throughout the fortnight to deliver immediate reaction and analysis, bringing tennis fans to the heart of the action throughout The Championships.

The iconic Andre Agassi will also return to the BBC team for the final few days of the championships.

Gigi Salmon and Clare McDonnell present live coverage on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds, with BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller leading the commentary team.

Joining the team are former Wimbledon champions Cash and Marion Bartoli, offering expert insights throughout the tournament.

5 Live’s Wimbledon team will bring audiences all the major matches live, with regular updates from the outside courts.

Delyth Lloyd and Lee James will commentate and present live, extensive coverage of Wimbledon on the BBC World Service, while there will also be coverage across the 39 BBC Local Radio stations.
