Wimbledon is back and the buzz is real. If you’re wondering when it starts, where to watch, or how to grab tickets, you’re in the right spot. This guide breaks down everything you need to enjoy the 2025 edition without any hassle.
The 2025 tournament kicks off on Monday, July 1 and runs through Sunday, July 14. All matches are held at the historic All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London. The main courts – Centre Court, No.1, No.2 and No.3 – are ready for the action, and the new grass surfaces promise fast, exciting play.
Tickets are sold in three rounds: the public ballot, the queue on the day, and the hospitality packages. The public ballot usually opens in October, so set a reminder. If you’re lucky enough to win, you’ll get a seat in the general stands. Queue tickets let you line up early on match day for a chance at a spot on the grass. Hospitality tickets give you a seat in a private box plus food and drinks.
Prices vary. General admissions can start around £30 for ground‑level seats, while hospitality can go up to £500 or more per person. Budget‑friendly fans often bring a blanket and sit on the grass for a relaxed vibe.
What’s new this year? Wimbledon is introducing a limited‑time “Kids Play Zone” near the practice courts, plus a new digital guide app that sends live scores, player stats, and food stall locations straight to your phone.
If you’re traveling from outside London, the easiest way to get to the club is by taking the District Line to Southfields station, then walking the short path to the grounds. Buses and taxis are also available, but plan for traffic if you’re coming from central London.
For those who can’t make it in person, the BBC and Netflix are streaming the matches live. The free BBC iPlayer service offers all the day‑time games, while the premium Netflix package gives you high‑def streams and behind‑the‑scenes content.
Who should you watch? Defending champion Novak Djokovic is back, aiming for another crown. Rising star Carlos Alcaraz is expected to cause upsets, and home favorite Emma Raducanu will be playing in the women’s draw after a strong comeback season. Keep an eye on the matchup tables – early rounds often bring surprising results.
Weather can change fast in London, so bring a light raincoat and an extra towel. The grass courts dry quickly, but rain delays are common, and the grounds often announce schedule changes on the big screen and via the official app.
Finally, enjoy the Wimbledon experience beyond tennis. Try the famous strawberries and cream, explore the surrounding Wimbledon village, and soak up the summer atmosphere. Whether you’re a die‑hard fan or just looking for a fun day out, Wimbledon 2025 has something for everyone.
Jannik Sinner becomes Italy's first Wimbledon champion, beating Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The win reshapes the Sincaraz rivalry and sets the stage for future Grand Slam battles.
