Wimbledon live stream: how to watch the tennis free online from anywhere
Wimbledon 2018 – where and when
Wimbledon 2018 is taking place from Monday, July 2 to Sunday, July 15 at the famous All England Club in South-West London.
The Women’s final will be on Saturday, July 14 and the Men’s final will close proceedings on Sunday, July 15.
The showpiece event of the tennis calendar is here, as all eyes turn to SW19 in London for the 2018 Wimbledon Championships. But you don’t need to be at the All England Club to catch the action, as we’re here to show you how you can get a Wimbledon live stream and watch all the tennis online for free, wherever you are in the world.
On the men’s side of the tournament, defending champion Roger Federer will be the man to beat. He may be 36 years old, but the imperious Swiss is at his best on grass and will be a nightmare to stop if he finds his rhythm. While home favorite Andy Murray has now announced he isn’t fit enough to compete, Argentine Juan Martin del Potro could emerge as one of the main contenders to cause an upset having already got the better of Federer at Indian Wells this year. And never count out the revitalised World number 1 Rafa Nadal coming off the back of yet another French Open victory.
The women’s side of Wimbledon is looking very hard to predict, making for an exciting fortnight of tennis. 2017 winner and world number three Garbiñe Muguruza should make a challenge but has struggled for consistency so far this season, which may open the door for a second consecutive grand slam for Simona Halep, having just claimed her first major trophy at Roland Garros.
Whatever happens, we’re here to make sure you don’t miss a single serve. Check out the Wimbledon live stream options below, kick back, and watch Wimbledon 2018 for free.

1. Download and install a VPN
We’ve tested all of the major VPN services and we rate ExpressVPN as the absolute best. It’s compatible with all of your devices, supports most streaming services and ranks amongst the fastest. You can even install it on devices like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox and PlayStation. So for a one-stop shop, you can’t go wrong with Express – but there are more fantastic VPN options out there as well:

How to live stream Wimbledon 2018 in the UK for free
As always, the BBC will be pitching up at the All England Club to bring comprehensive coverage of Wimbledon 2018. Its live action and highlights will be broadcast across BBC One, BBC Two and BBC Red Button from July 2 – 15.
That means as well as your TV, you’ve got the option to watch via mobile and tablet on iPlayer, completely free. And then there’s the Wimbledon official website, too, although we don’t know what kind of broadcast quality that will be.

How to watch Wimbledon 2018: live stream in the US
In the US, you’ve got a couple of different TV options for catching the action: you can either tune into the Tennis Channel or ESPN. It’s worth knowing that both of these are paid-for services so in order to watch you’ll need to have a subscription.
An online-only option meanwhile, is PlayStation Vue. The Internet-based live TV service is available on streaming devices such as PS4, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Roku, PC and Mac and mobile devices, and will be airing Wimbledon live. There’s also a 5-day free trial available to new customers if you want to check out the service.
If neither of those works for you, there’s always the VPN option for a completely free watch. By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it’s in the UK. It’s really easy to get started with a VPN.
How to watch tennis from Wimbledon: Australia stream
In Australia, your options are more limited with Fox being the only official broadcaster of Wimbledon 2018 down under. As this is a subscription service, you’ll need to be a paid-up member in order to watch.
Failing that, use of a VPN would allow you to watch the free UK coverage.
The best way to stream Wimbledon 2018 in Canada
In Canada, it’s a similar deal as you’ve got fairly limited options. It will only be covered by TSN, but again, this is a subscription service.
If you want to watch for free, your best bet is to use a VPN and access the UK’s BBC coverage for no cost in the comfort of your own home.
