It’s that time of year again! Wimbledon 2024 will run from July 1 to July 13, with the best players in the world going head-to-head to see who can win the biggest tournament in tennis. Below, we’ll explain how you can stream Wimbledon online, whether it’s available for free in your country, and who’s most likely to win.
Note that this guide will only discuss official Wimbledon broadcasters. This event may be available elsewhere but third-party streams are often low-quality and riddled with malicious ads. Since there are plenty of ways to watch Wimbledon 2024 legitimately, there’s really no point in using unofficial streams.
Most services broadcasting Wimbledon 2024 are region-locked. If you’re traveling abroad, you’ll need a VPN to continue watching via your usual platform from home.
How to watch Wimbledon 2024 online with a VPN
You can use a VPN to connect to a server in another location. In doing so, you’ll be assigned a different IP address, allowing you to spoof your location. You can then unblock websites and services that would otherwise be geo-restricted.
Here’s how to live stream Wimbledon 2024 using a VPN:
- First, sign up with a VPN. We recommend NordVPN for sports fans although Surfshark and ExpressVPN are also high-quality alternatives.
- Next, download and install the VPN app or browser extension. The VPNs recommended above support a wide range of operating systems.
- Log in to the VPN app and connect to a server in your home country. This wil let you access your regular WImbledon broadcaster, regardless of whether it’s normally available in your current location.
- Go to the service in question and sign in (or create an account if necessary). You should now be able to stream content while connected to the VPN.
- If you run into any errors, try clearing your browsing data. Alternatively, connect to another server in case the IP address you’re using has been blacklisted.
You may be able to watch Wimbledon events on-demand later, but this event will be broadcast live. As such, we recommend you test your VPN with streaming sources well in advance. If you have any trouble, you can always contact your VPN’s customer support for further assistance.

How to watch Wimbledon 2024 for free on UK TV
As in previous years, you’ll be able to watch Wimbledon online for free on BBC iPlayer. In order to do this, you’ll need to sign up for an account (don’t worry, it’s free!). You’ll be asked to provide an email address as well as your date of birth, country, and a UK postcode (note that any UK postal code is accepted). Once signed in, you’ll be able to access all BBC iPlayer content, live and on-demand.
Please keep in mind that you’ll need to have a TV license to stream BBC iPlayer content, regardless of whether it’s live or on-demand. However, there’s no online verification system in place for this.
BBC iPlayer is only available in the UK. This means that if you’re traveling abroad, you’ll need to connect to a VPN server in the UK in order to watch. Once you have a UK IP address, all content should be unblocked in your location. NordVPN successfully unblocks BBC iPlayer and even comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. As such, you can try it out risk-free and, if unsatisfied, request a refund for your money back.
Where else can I stream Wimbledon 2024 online?
USA
ESPN has held the US broadcast rights to Wimbledon since 2012. If you’ve got a cable TV subscription that includes ESPN, you’ll be able to watch at no additional cost. This requires signing in to ESPN using the same login details you use with your cable TV provider (an email address or username and password).
If you don’t have cable, it’s worth knowing that you can watch ESPN cable-free via ESPN+. This is priced at $9.99 (USD) a month or $99.99 a year. However, it’s worth knowing that you can bundle ESPN+ with Disney+ and Hulu (all with ads) for $12.99 a month.
Last but not least, you can also watch ESPN via the following TV streaming services:
- FuboTV ($74.99/month)
- Hulu + Live TV ($76.99/month)
- Sling TV ($40/month)
- YouTube TV ($72.99/month)
Some of these services provide free trials or discounts on the first month or two of service.
Much like BBC iPlayer, ESPN and the aforementioned TV streaming services are geo-blocked. To access their content abroad, you’ll need to get a US IP address which you can get by connecting to a VPN server in the US. You will also need a US credit card to create accounts with these services.
Canada
There are a couple of ways to watch Wimbledon 2024 in Canada: CTV and TSN. Both services offer apps and you can stream content for either service online on the web. However, you’ll need to pay to access CTV and TSN. You may already have access to CTV if you have cable TV. In this case, all you need to do is sign in. TSN offers monthly ($19.99), and annual ($199.90) plans.
Traveling abroad? You can watch CTV and TSN outside Canada but you’ll need a Canadian IP address. Once connected to a VPN server in Canada, all content should then play without restriction.
Australia
Tennis fans in Australia can stream Wimbledon 2024 live online. Stan Sport has a three-year deal to broadcast Wimbledon that runs until 2024. The following plans are available: Basic ($12 AUD/month), Standard ($16/month), and Premium ($21/month). All plans include a 30-day free trial for new customers. A VPN connection to an Australian server is required to access the streams from abroad.
What should I know about Wimbledon?
Founded in 1877, Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. It’s held at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London and played outdoors on grass courts. Alongside the Australian Open, the French Open, and the US Open, it’s one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Wimbledon 2020 was canceled. This was the first time that the tournament had been canceled since World War II.
Who are the favorites to win Wimbledon 2024?
On the men’s side of the draw, the current favorites are Swiatec and Alcaraz. Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka leads the women’s side, at around +400. However, she’s expected to face stiff competition from the likes of Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff.
