BBC signs new Wimbledon deal until 2033

BBC Sport will continue to broadcast Wimbledon until 2033 after signing a new deal with the All England Club.

The agreement means the Grand Slam tournament will remain free to air for audiences in the UK across 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 deal, audiences will continue to enjoy comprehensive 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 across BBC Sport's extensive social channels.

The 2026 tournament gets under way on Monday with champions Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek defending their singles titles.

This year's Wimbledon coverage will usher in a fresh new editorial and creative approach from BBC Sport, featuring new voices and personalities, deeper storytelling, enhanced analysis, and technology across TV, radio, online and social platforms - all designed to bring audiences closer to the Championships than ever before.

The announcement follows record-breaking digital audiences for Wimbledon on BBC platforms last summer.

In 2025, the tournament generated 69.3 million online requests across BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and app - the highest digital engagement for the Championships ever recorded.

That figure surpassed the previous record of 54.3 million set in 2023 and marked a significant increase on the 50.1 million online requests recorded in 2024.
