Wimbledon and BBC Sport extend partnership to 2033
BBC Sport will continue to broadcast Wimbledon until 2033 after signing a new deal with the All England Club.
The deal means the Grand Slam tournament will be broadcast free to UK audiences on BBC television, radio and digital platforms.
Next year’s tournament will mark 100 years since the BBC first broadcast Wimbledon in 1927.
Under the new agreement, viewers will continue to benefit from extensive live coverage of the Championships across BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app, as well as BBC Sport’s extensive social channels.
The 2026 tournament begins on Monday with defending champions Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek defending their singles titles.
This year’s Wimbledon coverage will usher in a brand new editorial and creative approach for BBC Sport, featuring new voices and personalities, deeper storytelling, advanced analysis and technology across TV, radio, online and social platforms; all designed to bring viewers closer to the Championships than ever before.
The announcement follows record-breaking digital audiences at Wimbledon on BBC platforms last summer.
In 2025, the tournament generated 69.3 million online requests across BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport website and app; this was the highest digital engagement ever recorded for the Championships.
This figure exceeded the previous record of 54.3 million set in 2023 and marked a significant increase over the 50.1 million online requests recorded in 2024.
