How to watch Wimbledon for free
Wimbledon coverage is available for free in a few different countries. The UK will host comprehensive coverage of Wimbledon on BBC iPlayer, and Australia will show the tournament on 9Now. Some of the US live streaming services we'll recommend below, including DirecTV and Fubo, also offer free trials, which typically last anywhere from five to seven days.
How to watch Wimbledon from anywhere
If you're away from the UK or Australia right now, you can still access your free streaming option with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are easy-to-use cybersecurity apps that enable people to alter the virtual location on their electronic devices so that they can keep up with their favorite websites from anywhere. They're popular tech tools among those looking to access their usual websites while traveling abroad and upgrade their online security.
NordVPN is one of the best VPNs on the market, with servers in more than 120 locations and several advanced security features. You can sign up for a month-to-month plan or find some savings in 1 and 2-year-long subscriptions. No matter what you choose, all plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so it's no sweat if you find that it's not what you're looking for. You can learn more in our NordVPN review.
NordVPN is one of the top VPN services in the business. It offers excellent value with a strong selection of features and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-end security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the world of VPNs.
How to use a VPN
- Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.
- Install it on the device you're using to watch.
- Turn it on and set it to the location of your streaming service.
- Navigate to your streaming service, such as BBC iPlayer or 9Now, and create an account if you don't already have one.
- Enjoy the tournament.
Where to watch Wimbledon in the US
Wimbledon will air across ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC in the United States, but the best way to make sure you don't miss out on any of the action is through ESPN Plus. At $12 a month, it's also the cheapest way to live stream Wimbledon in the US. The app is offering daily "first ball to last ball" coverage on all courts, making it a must-have for the smaller matches. Plus, ESPN Plus carries on-demand replays, so you can catch up if you miss a match while at work.
ESPN Plus is designed for sports, giving subscribers access to live MLB, NHL, NFL, soccer, golf, and UFC fights. You can pay $12 monthly or go for an annual deal, which saves you about $20 a year. There's also a bundle with Hulu and Disney Plus, which offers an even better discount.
Several live TV streaming services carry relevant networks in their lineups. While these are more expensive than ESPN Plus, they offer more channels, so you can live stream other programming in addition to Wimbledon. DirecTV's MySports genre pack offers ESPN Plus, ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC (in select regions) in its 25-channel lineup. Subscriptions cost $70 a month, but new users can get a five-day free trial. Fubo's Pro plan carries ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC in its 150+ channel offerings. Subscriptions cost $85 a month and come with a seven-day free trial. New users can get $20 knocked off their first month of service.
Where to watch Wimbledon in the UK
Wimbledon will air across the BBC in the United Kingdom. This means that the tournament will be available to live stream for free through BBC iPlayer, the BBC's streaming counterpart. Users just need to create an account if they don't already have one, and then they're all set to start streaming. They just need to ensure they have a valid TV license to do so. iPlayer is offering comprehensive coverage, with most matches available to stream even in the early rounds.
Where to watch Wimbledon in Australia
Australians can catch Wimbledon on 9Now. Fans can start streaming by creating a free account if they don't already have one, and then they're all set to begin watching. The service is streaming one main feed, which means that notable early matches and most later matches should be available to stream, but fans might not be able to catch some of the smaller match-ups. If you're looking to catch those missing matches or would prefer to watch without ads, then Stan Sport is the way to go. Users will need to sign up for a base plan (starting at $12 a month) and opt to add Stan Sport ($15 a month).
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
