This year's Wimbledon live streams see Carlos Alcaraz going for three-in-a-row and the likes of Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff attempting to prevent yet another surprise champion in the women's singles. Below we have all the information on how to watch the coverage from anywhere – including FREE Wimbledon streams on BBC iPlayer.

While there's no doubt that the likes of Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, Lorenzo Musetti, seven-time champ Novak Djokovic and hometown hero Jack Draper will all want to go deep into the second week at SW19, most tennis fans will see this as the next chapter of the emerging rivalry between Alcaraz and world number 1 Jannik Sinner. Between them, they've won the last six straight Grand Slams and they played out one of the great matches in a thrilling five-set French Open final.

Barbora Krejčíková shocked the world when she lifted the famous silver salver last year, adding the title to her French Open victory in 2021. Jasmine Paolini was the losing finalist and will hope it's a big year for Italian players on the famous grass courts this time around. Sabalenka and Gauff start as favorites to repeat the Roland Garros final a few weeks ago, with Madison Keys, Jessica Pegula, Emma Navarro and Amanda Anisimova bringing plenty of hopes with them from across the Atlantic.

Here's how to watch free Wimbledon 2025 live streams wherever you are. We've also listed the Wimbledon schedule further down the page.
