Daily Mail: Wimbledon to be aired on new TV channel for the first time

Story from Daily Mail:

Wimbledon will be shown on a new TV channel for the first time having been covered by the BBC for 88 years.

While the company will still remain the principle broadcaster in the action when it comes to this year's action at SW19, a new broadcaster will show the event for the first time.

This is courtesy of a stipulation in Ofcom's Listed Events regulations, which permits 'secondary broadcasters' at major sporting tournaments.

This year's tournament runs from Monday June 30 to Sunday July 13 and costs the BBC around £60million per year.

But a new-look broadcaster will have rights to show highlights in 2025.

That honour will see them take over the daily 90-minute highlights show of the action at the conclusion of each day's play.

TNT Sports will continue the five-year deal that was originally signed by Eurosport in May last year after it bought Eurosport - which disappeared from UK viewers' screens back in February.

Highlights of each day and live coverage of both men's and women's singles finals at Wimbledon have been available to watch on Eurosport since 2016, but as of 2025 that will be taken care of by TNT Sports since their acquisition of the former.

The BBC have broadcast events at Wimbledon since 1937, when matches from Centre Court were shown up to half an hour each day.

Coverage will come across BBC1 and BBC2, with all matches shown on BBC iPlayer, in addition to updates via radio, online and its app.

Carlos Alcaraz will be seeking a third successive Wimbledon title after beating Novak Djokovic in each of the previous two finals on Centre Court.

Meanwhile, Djokovic has burning ambitions of his own to win a 25th Grand Slam title and hold the outright record for the most majors won by a single player in the history of the sport.

But it is his rival Alcaraz who will come into the tournament as favourite after his astonishing comeback victory over Jannik Sinner to lift the French Open title at Roland-Garros on Sunday.

At one stage, the Spaniard was two sets down and had to save three championship points before completing an almighty fightback to win his fifth Grand Slam.

As is tradition, he will appear on Centre Court during the first day of the tournament, with women's singles champion Barbora Krejcíkova doing the same.
