Wimbledon takes place over two weeks – with no rest days – and finishes up on July 13, when the men's singles final is played on Centre Court.
The BBC remains the principal broadcaster of Wimbledon and you can follow all the action for free on BBC One, BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
In previous years, both the BBC and Eurosport have shown the singles finals but in 2025 it will be the BBC and TNT Sports broadcasting them.

It should be noted that the majority of tickets for Centre Court and the No.1 Court are unavailable because the public Wimbledon ballot has closed.
But spectators are still able to use the famous Wimbledon queue every day to try and get a grounds pass or tickets to one of the show courts.
If you reach the front of the queue and there are only grounds passes left, fans can try the ticket resale kiosk once inside the grounds, located north of Court 18, who sell a number of resale tickets for the show courts.

Finn Russell: Andy Farrell helped put any tension with Johnny Sexton to bed
Finn Russell has revealed that he buried the hatchet with Johnny Sexton with the help of Andy Farrell as the old foes join forces on the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia. Sexton has previously been critical of Russell, labelling him 'flashy' and a 'media darling', while adding he would choose Owen Farrell over him against the Wallabies because the former England captain is a 'Test match animal'. And in his autobiography, the Ireland great confessed that it 'kills me to this day' that he was overlooked in favour of Russell for the 2021 Lions tour to South Africa. Now the former fly-half rivals are working together to plot the downfall of Australia, with Sexton acting as the Lions kicking skills coach and Russell in pole position to take the playmaking duties in the Test series.

Women's Tennis Association to protect ranks of players on fertility treatment
The Women's Tennis Association has created a "safe safe" for female players and will protect their rankings should they undergo fertility protection procedures, including egg freezing and IVF The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) will now protect rankings for athletes who undergo fertility procedures like egg freezing or IVF. The new measure seeks to help women athletes 'balance a professional sports career with planning and starting a family at a time of their choice'. On June 11, 2025, the WTA announced its new Fertility Protection Special Entry Ranking rule. As of now, WTA players ranked within the top 750 in singles or doubles who undergo fertility procedures will have their ranking protected during their time off. The WTA Rankings are typically based on a rolling 52-week, cumulative system. Player rankings are determined by their results at tournaments, with points awarded based on the level of the tournament and the player's progression during the event. READ MORE: Grand Slam finalist champions women's tennis in passionate post amid French Open controversy Eligible players undergoing fertility procedures will now receive a Special Entry Ranking (SER) which will allow them to enter up to three tournaments. The SER will be calculated based on their average ranking during a 12-week period before and during their absence and can be used at events as high as WTA 500 (500 being the number of ranking points awarded to the champion). WTA players must be out of competition for at least 10 consecutive weeks for a fertility protection procedure to be eligible for a SER. This is the same designation the WTA uses for players returning from long-term injury or pregnancy. This specific development of the SER is a 'further enhancement' of an existing package of benefits meant to empower players to 'combine professional sport with family life'. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you! The announcement comes a year after Sloane Stephens, the 2017 U.S. Open champion called for ranking protection after undergoing egg freezing. In a 2024 interview with the BBC, Stephens said that egg freezing is 'a very involved process and I don't think people understand that.' In light of the WTA's announcement, Stephens said she is 'incredibly proud' that the sport is recognising the importance of fertility treatments for female athletes. She also praised the WTA for creating a 'safe space' for current and future players to explore their options. 'It's truly ground-breaking and will empower this generation, and future generations of players, to continue with the sport they love without having to compromise,' says Stephen. Portia Archer, WTA CEO, said: 'We understand that professional athletes can face a dilemma between focusing on their career and starting a family, and we are committed to supporting WTA players as they navigate and balance the choices associated with career and family.' It was only in March 2025 that the WTA announced female players would finally receive paid maternity leave. The initiative marked the first time in women's sports history that comprehensive maternity benefits are available to independent, self-employed athletes. The Maternity Fund Program provides up to 12 months of paid leave for over 350 eligible players. The program is fully funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and grants are available for those seeking fertility treatments.

When is the Wimbledon 2025 draw? Date, start time, FREE live stream, TV channel and tickets
EVERY tennis player will be dreaming of lifting a Wimbledon title above their head by July 14 - but they'll be hoping the draw is kind to them first. Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz comfortably saw off Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic with a straight-set victory in the 2024 men's singles final. 2 2 While Barbora Krejcikova held her nerve to beat Jasmine Paolini in the women's showpiece match. But both champions faced many intense battles on their way to the top, most notably Alcaraz's third-round five-setter against Frances Tiafoe. And despite neither having to play in the qualifiers due to their rankings, both will certainly tune into the draw to see who they could potentially face in the first round. When is the Wimbledon 2025 draw? This year's Wimbledon draw will get underway on Friday, June 27. Players are randomly selected and assigned a placement in the tournament by a special computer. However, the 32 seeds in each singles catergory are removed from the draw and added back in later. How can I watch Wimbledon 2025? Wimbledon 2025 draw will be available to watch for FREE on BBC channels BBC One and BBC Two. Fans can also stream the draw on BBC iPlayer via a compatible tablet and mobile device. Alternatively, SunSport will live blog the entire tournament. Are tickets still available for Wimbledon 2025? In short, yes - tickets are still available for EVERY day of Wimbledon. It is a much tougher ask to guarantee exactly which matches you could see on a specific day, however. The ballot for specific matches and tickets has closed but Wimbledon remains one of the only remaining sporting events where the public can buy tickets on the day of play. The Queue remains a very popular way to attend the event, although we'd advise early arrival (or even the night before). Each day it is possible to purchase a limited number of Show Court tickets or Grounds tickets. The different tickets will allow specific access to certain courts. There is limited availability on both, but tickets do also frequently become available later in the day should those already inside choose to leave. Wimbledon also offers a variety of hospitality packages which includes fine-dining, complimentary drinks, prime seating, a concierge service and buggy shuttles to the Gate. Alternatively, tickets for specific matches on Centre Court, Court 1 and elsewhere are available to purchase on secondary ticket sites such as StubHub. Hospitality packages can also be purchased via Seat Unique. Wimbledon Ticket Options There are a range of ways to get into Wimbledon... The Queue As one of the only major sporting events that allows guests to purchase tickets on the day of the event, demand is high. Each day a large queue forms of people wanting either a Grounds or Show Court ticket - with many even arriving the night before and camping to guarantee a place. Upon arrival, visitors are issued a Queue Card, which is numbered and dated and should be kept until a ticket has been purchased. While there is a limited number of entries, it is possible to remain in the queue and wait for people already inside to leave, with those tickets then becoming available. It is also possible to check the status of the queue on the Wimbledon website. This year, organisers are asking potential queuers to download the Wimbledon app and create a myWimbledon account. Show Tickets If you get to the front of the queue, then there are a limited number of tickets available for purchase for Centre Court and Courts 1, 2 and 3. Note that Centre Court tickets are available for the first 10 days of the tournament, the final four days were already pre-sold. Prices vary depending on the Court, seat and day of the event and will increase the further into the tournament you visit. For example, Centre Court rows A-T cost £105 on Day 1 and £315 on Day 14 (men's final). Grounds Pass A Grounds Pass costs £30 and allows visitors to watch matches on Courts 3-18 on unreserved seats, though there will also be a queue to get into Court 3. Ticket Resale From 3pm each day, tickets may become available from people who have left Wimbledon and made their seat available. A Grounds Pass is needed to join the virtual queue on the Wimbledon App. Tickets cost £15 for Centre Court or £10 for Courts 1/2. Hospitality There are a range of hospitality packages still available on the Wimbledon website. Hospitality packages offer guaranteed premium seating to major matches as well as fine dining experiences, complimentary drinks, a shuttle and concierge service. Secondary Markets Sites such as StubHub offer tickets for the main courts for specific days and times. *Please note that StubHub and similar secondary ticket resale sites may list tickets above face value.* When does Wimbledon 2025 start? Wimbledon 2025 will get underway on Monday, June 30. The iconic Grand Slam runs over a fortnight - concluding on Sunday, July 13. Sessions are set to take place from morning right throughout the day with the heavy-hitters playing on Centre Court. As always, the All English Lawn Club in London, SW19 is the chosen venue for Wimbledon.
