Wimbledon kicks off Monday 29 June and runs to Sunday 11 July, with every match streamed live via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport app, plus daily TV slots on BBC One and Two. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner returns to defend his men’s crown, while Carlos Alcaraz sits out with a wrist injury. Defending women’s champion Iga Świątek also headlines the draw.

The total prize fund climbs to £64.2m, the biggest increase in tournament history. Singles champions will pocket £3.6m each, and first‑round losers receive £80,000. Over £6 million earmarked for qualifying marks a 25% rise, though players continue to protest limited media time and post‑match interview caps.

Six British players earn direct entry, including Cameron Norrie and Emma Raducanu, while wildcards add another dozen names. TV hosts Isa Guha and Clare Balding anchor the studio, joined by legends such as John McEnroe and Martina Navratilova. Radio 5 Live, 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds provide live commentary from 13:00 BST on weekdays, ensuring fans can follow every rally across all platforms.
