How the BBC will cover Wimbledon 2024

10 June 2024

Full coverage from Wimbledon will be exclusively available through the BBC iPlayer, with the top games also covered on BBC One and BBC Two, plus on BBC Radio.

  • Clare Balding and Isa Guha will present coverage on TV from 11:00 each match day.
  • Centre Court coverage available in Ultra HD.
  • Qasa Alom presents Today at Wimbledon on BBC Two.
  • BBC One will prioritise Euro 2024 and General Election coverage.

Starting on Monday 1st July, audiences can tune into comprehensive live match coverage of Wimbledon 2024 exclusively on BBC TV and BBC iPlayer, as well as listen to the very latest from SW19 across BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds.

But with schedules for the first week of July already dominated by live coverage from the Euro 2024 men’s football tournament, plus the General Election and aftermath (4/5th July), tennis fans will need the BBC iPlayer for full access to all live games.

The BBC iPlayer will once again offer Ultra HD (4K) coverage from Centre Court and multi-court options. BBC Two will offer a selection of the top games, with BBC One joining coverage especially during the later stages of the tournament.

The presenters

Presenting live from the iconic All England Lawn Tennis Club, BBC Sport’s TV coverage is led by Clare Balding and Isa Guha.

Isa Guha (pictured third from the right, above) welcomes viewers each day at 11:00am on BBC Two (Monday 1st July – 9th July) before Clare Balding takes over mid-afternoon, taking viewers through until the evening and from BBC Two to BBC One.

Qasa Alom presents Today at Wimbledon on BBC Two and iPlayer each evening. He is joined by special guests each night to reflect on the day’s play.

Andy Stevenson (pictured second right, above) is on hand to present the wheelchair finals as the tournament draws to a close after a thrilling two weeks.

How to access full, live Wimbledon coverage

Viewers using connected TV platforms, including Sky Q, Sky Glass/Stream, Virgin Media, Freeview Play and Freely can press red from BBC channels to access iPlayer coverage. Since the return of Wimbledon after the pandemic, the BBC has made full Wimbledon coverage available exclusively this way; it no longer offers extra streams delivered via satellite or cable beyond the one channel BBC Red Button service (RB1) found near the bottom of the channel list.

The BBC Sport website, app and social media channels provide comprehensive coverage and behind the scenes access where tennis fans can follow the twists and turns of the tournament via player interviews, in-play video clips, daily live text commentaries and more.

BBC Radio 5 Live and Radio 5 Sports Extra will offer comprehensive audio coverage, also available to stream through BBC Sounds.

Philip Bernie, Interim Director of BBC Sport, says:

“Fans can tune into our extensive and exceptional coverage from Wimbledon this year across BBC TV, iPlayer, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app. Wimbledon is filled with wonderful heritage and always delivers incredible moments. I look forward to seeing what this year’s tournament has in store for us.”
