There are roughly two weeks to go until the 2025 iteration of the Wimbledon tennis championship. It begins on Monday, June 30 for two weeks of racquet action, and we'll help you figure out how to watch it.
Before Wimbledon starts, its unofficial warm-up tournament is underway, and here's how to watch the Queen's Club Championship which features many of the players who'll eventually make their way onto Wimbledon's courts..
This 138th running of the legendary tennis tournament takes place in the titular borough of London, at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, on outdoor grass courts.
Most of the world's biggest players will descend on Wimbledon in the hopes of claiming some of the £50 million prize money. Men's and women's singles and doubles, mixed doubles and wheelchair and junior tournaments will all be contested over two weeks until the final day on Sunday, July 13.
Amongst them will be top-seeded Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, last year's winners Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejčíková and a huge number of other players. The Wimbledon qualifiers, taking place in the weeks leading up to the proper tournament's beginning, will reduce the number of players into a curated list.
It's a sports tournament that's one to see for all tennis fans, so here's how to watch Wimbledon online or on TV.
