BBC Sport signed a new agreement with the All England Club to broadcast Wimbledon until 2033. The deal preserves free-to-air access for UK viewers on BBC television, radio and digital platforms. Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of BBC Sport, said the partnership would continue "well into the next decade" and allow the broadcaster to evolve its presentation of the event.
He added that new technology, storytelling and voices would bring audiences closer to the Championships. The 2027 tournament will mark 100 years since the BBC first aired Wimbledon in 1927. Live coverage for the 2026 event, which begins on Monday, will appear on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds, the BBC Sport website and app, and BBC Sport social channels.
Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek enter the 2026 tournament as defending singles champions. Swiatek won the women's title in 2025. Digital requests for Wimbledon on BBC platforms reached a record 69.3 million in 2025, up from 54.3 million in 2023 and 50.1 million in 2024.
