Day One begins and Wimbledon, the tennis championship still played on grass courts and held each year in London, is off to an electric start. Founded in 1877, Wimbledon brings together the sport’s most elite tennis athletes from around the world.
The Grand Slam tournament (to this day, the only one still played on grass!) is taking place this year from June 30 to July, 13, 2025. Carlos Alcaraz won back-to-back Wimbledon titles in 2023 and 2024, defeating Novak Djokovic in both finals.
Even if you don’t have cable, you won’t have to miss out on Wimbledon, because live TV streaming services have all the channels you need to keep up with all the matches.
Wimbledon will air on several different channels. While the qualifying rounds will all be available on the streaming platform ESPN Plus, the rest of the tournament will be available on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC.
While the Tennis Channel shows replays, and select highlights, it won't get you the coverage you need for the tournament
