The third and most prestigious tennis Grand Slam of the year has arrived with Wimbledon kicking off its 138th meeting in London this week. On the men’s side, all eyes will be on Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard is currently ranked No. 2 in the world and has won Wimbledon the last two years. He’s also coming off a French Open victory that saw him take down No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the final.

Barbora Krejcikova is this year’s reigning champion on the women’s side, although she’ll likely face tougher competition than she did at Wimbledon 2024. Last year saw No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka out with an injury, and superstars Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek knocked out in the early rounds.

At a Glance: How to Watch Wimbledon

If you’re looking to keep up with Wimbledon 2025, read on. Below is a full guide on how to watch Wimbledon online without cable, plus the tournament’s schedule and top seeds.

How to Watch Wimbledon Online

Wimbledon will be broadcast on ESPN in the U.S. If you don’t have cable, you can watch the tennis tournament online using any live TV streaming service that carries the channel or ESPN+, which will have simulcasts of every round. Here’s a breakdown of your best options:

Our favorite live TV streaming service for sports fans is DirecTV. The service offers a range of packages, including several with ESPN, and you get a five-day free trial to check it out. All ESPN-equipped packages also carry other sports channels, so you can keep up with soccer, baseball, and other sports between Wimbledon streams. Plans with ESPN start at $69.99 a month after the free trial.

ESPN+ is the most affordable way to watch Wimbledon online with plans starting at $9.99 a month, although it doesn’t offer a free trial. You can also sign up for an annual plan to ESPN+ for $119.99 a year, which essentially gets you two months for free over the course of the year.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive live TV streaming solution, check out Fubo. The streamer’s plans carry up to 300+ channels, including ESPN in every plan for watching Wimbledon 2025. Packages start at $84.99 a month, but you get a five-day free trial to start.

Sling is a more budget-friendly live TV streamer with plans starting at just $45.99 a month. You don’t get as many channels (34-46, depending on the plan you choose), but it’s a good option if you’re looking for a budget-friendly service. There’s also no free trial (right now), but Sling is offering half off your first month. Get the Sling Orange package for access to ESPN livestreams of Wimbledon.

Another comprehensive cable streaming service is Hulu + Live TV. This one carries 100 channels, including ESPN for Wimbledon streams, but the real draw is the extra streaming services. For $82.99 a month, you can add ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu on-demand to those 100 live channels, making it an excellent bundle deal. Get a three-day free trial to start.
