Wimbledon 2025 LIVE: watch from abroad, today's matches, TV schedule

What is Wimbledon?

Wimbledon is tennis's oldest and most prestigious championship, held annually since 1877 at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in London.

The tournament maintains strict traditions: players wear all-white attire, strawberries and cream are served courtside, and matches are played exclusively on grass courts.

Part of tennis's Grand Slam quartet alongside the French Open, US Open, and Australian Open, Wimbledon attracts global royalty and celebrities including, this year, soccer club owner David Beckham and Hollywood actor Eddie Redmayne.

The iconic Centre Court features a retractable roof, while the tournament's winner receives the coveted golden Venus Rosewater Dish or Gentlemen's Singles Trophy.

You can watch Wimbledon live online around the world – including free coverage on the U.K.'s BBC iPlayer.
