Television coverage for the tournament in the United States will be carried by the ESPN family of networks. Coverage will shift between ESPN2 and ESPN for the biggest singles matches, with all of the big quarterfinals, semifinals and finals being shown.
The entire tournament will also be streamed live online via WatchESPN, though it will require login credentials from a participating cable or satellite provider. Through WatchESPN or the ESPN app, all courts on every day will be available for viewing.
Other streaming subscription services like Playstation Vue, SlingTV and more carry ESPN in most of their packages, and can also be used to stream the action once it gets underway on Monday.
Due to the time difference, play typically begins at or around 7 a.m. ET for the early parts of the tournament. Play will go on throughout the day, into the afternoon, and sometimes into the evening.
The action gets started on Monday, with ESPN coverage running from 7 a.m. through 4:30 p.m.
All eyes are on Federer for this tournament. Federer is getting up there in years and is out of his prime, so he skipped the clay court season, conceding the French Open title to Rafael Nadal, a player he would have little chance of beating there. Instead, he rested and prepared for the grass courts.
Federer looked great in winning the Halle Open on grass, and is the man to watch going into Wimbledon. He shocked the tennis world when he made a brilliant run through the Australian Open to capture his fifth title there earlier this year, and now he has his sights set on an eighth Wimbledon championship.
The usual names are all there to contest him, including top seed Andy Murray and the usual suspects in Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka. Below is all you need to know to watch Wimbledon on TV and online.
