BBC’s Wimbledon 2025 Broadcast Overview

The BBC remains the primary broadcaster of Wimbledon in the UK, having secured exclusive national radio rights and comprehensive television coverage. This includes live matches on BBC One and BBC Two, enhanced by digital streams on BBC iPlayer and access through the BBC Red Button service for additional matches. The radio coverage on BBC Radio 5 Live and the BBC Sounds app ensures fans do not miss any of the action.

The broadcaster has made some adjustments to its on-air lineup this year. Notably absent are former world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty, Australian star Nick Kyrgios, and former British No. 1 Johanna Konta, who participated in prior years but are not part of 2025’s team. Kyrgios publicly expressed disappointment at being excluded, citing his deep knowledge from beating top legends like Federer, Nadal, Murray, and Djokovic, but the BBC has retained a robust panel of experts to maintain high-quality coverage.

Complementary Coverage by Warner Bros. Discovery

Outside of the BBC, Warner Bros. Discovery holds rights to broadcast highlights of the non-finals play on its TNT Sports channels and Discovery+ streaming platform, ensuring that tennis fans worldwide have multiple ways to enjoy Wimbledon content across various platforms.
