• But how can you watch the action at home?

Wimbledon is ready to serve up another dramatic tournament of tennis. The biggest stars in the game will be taking to the grass courts in London over the coming days and weeks.

It wouldn’t be summer without two weeks of eye-catching action from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Just make sure you have some strawberries near at hand - perhaps even a strawberry sandwich.

How to watch Wimbledon on TV at home?

Once again the BBC will be broadcasting from the tournament - and in fact every match will be live, across TV and iPlayer. Coverage will be split across the Beeb’s main TV channels starting today on the opening day of the tennis.

Across the two weeks, Isa Guha kicks off the day’s action in the morning on BBC Two, before Clare Balding takes over in the afternoon as play continues into the evening on BBC One. Qasa Alom will host Today at Wimbledon daily throughout the tournament on BBC iPlayer available from 9pm in week 1 and 8pm in week 2, giving audiences instant access to highlights and expert analysis when and where they want them.

Every match will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer, with Centre Court matches offered in Ultra HD.

Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of BBC Sport, said: “Wimbledon is a truly special event - so many stories happening at once, so many countries represented, so many brilliant women and men problem-solving in real time as they try to go deep into the tournament.”

TNT/ Discovery+ will carry daily highlights and will also broadcast the men’s and women’s singles finals live on July 12 and 13.
