Stream Wimbledon 2025 for free on BBC iPlayer (U.K. restricted)
Unlock BBC iPlayer with NordVPN
Wimbledon is played from Monday, June 30 - Sunday, July 13
You can watch Wimbledon 2025 live on BBC iPlayer, streaming for free from Monday, 30 June until Sunday, 13 July. The stream will include in-depth coverage and English commentary across two weeks of incredible tennis.
The British platform will show every serve, rally and point as Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejčíková look to defend their Wimbledon titles.
But how can you watch Wimbledon on BBC iPlayer from anywhere? Can you get the free stream in Canada and the U.S. too? And what phones is BBC iPlayer available on?
Here's our full (and quick) guide to how to watch Wimbledon 2025 on BBC iPlayer...
How to watch Wimbledon live streams for free
Tennis fans in the U.K. can watch Wimbledon 2025 live for FREE on the BBC.
Coverage will be split across free-to-air channel's BBC One and BBC Two. However, for the most extensive option you want to head to BBC iPlayer.
To watch BBC iPlayer: Visit the BBC iPlayer website or download the app (iOS/Android).
BBC iPlayer is FREE - but you will need to create an account, have a valid U.K. postcode (e.g. SE1 7PB) and a TV license.
OUTSIDE THE U.K.? Use NordVPN to trick your device into thinking you're still in Blighty - more on that below.
How to watch Wimbledon live streams from anywhere
Although BBC iPlayer is only available to British residents, those who are from the U.K. but visiting the likes of the U.S. and Canada can stream it through the use of VPN (Virtual Private Network).
The software sets your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So, it's ideal for tennis fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
