The third tennis major of the year, Wimbledon, is about to get underway at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in London.
The first two tennis majors of the year brought some memorable finals, so we'll see which players reach Centre Court during the second weekend of the tournament. Will Carlos Alcaraz win a third consecutive Wimbledon title? Will Novak Djokovic win that elusive 25th major title? Will an American woman win for the first time since Serena Williams in 2016? Or will a new champion be crowned?
Here's everything you need to know when tuning into Wimbledon this year.
Key Dates
Monday, June 30: The first round of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships begins.

How to Watch Wimbledon
ESPN, ESPN2: The majority of this year's Wimbledon will be broadcast across ESPN and ESPN2. The exact scheduling depends on the day and the round. From July 7 to 9 specifically, ESPN and ESPN2 will be showing coverage across multiple courts. ESPN will host matches on Centre Court, while ESPN2 will show additional highly-anticipated matches. The full broadcast schedule is listed below.
ABC: ABC will broadcast some coverage during the first weekend of Wimbledon, which highlights the third round and Round of 16. Otherwise, ABC will only showcase encore versions of the women's and men's singles finals matches the following weekend.
ESPN+: ESPN's streaming service will showcase all of the matches throughout Wimbledon. Fans can access additional coverage on the app, too, including highlights, analysis and older Wimbledon matches.
Defending Champions
Carlos Alcaraz: The Spaniard beat Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final for the second year in a row at last year's tournament. This time, though, Alcaraz won in three sets, with the final set going to a tiebreak. Wimbledon was Alcaraz's fourth major title, and he has since won the French Open last month.
Barbora Krejčíková: The Czech tennis player won her second major title at last year's Wimbledon. She beat Jasmine Paolini in three sets while ranked No. 31 in the world, which made her the second lowest ranked women's player to win Wimbledon since the WTA was established in 1975.
Most Titles
Martina Navratilova: While Roger Federer is widely considered the king of grass, Navratilova has actually won one more Wimbledon titles than him. Her nine Wimbledon trophies were won from 1978–90.
Roger Federer: The retired tennis legend is often referred to as the king of Wimbledon because of his dominance on the grass court. He won eight titles at the All England Club, including five consecutive championships from 2003–07.
