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.

Use a VPN to live stream the tennis at Wimbledon from anywhere for FREE

If you don’t have easy access to watch Wimbledon in your country and want to catch the UK coverage, the best way to watch it for free is to download and install a VPN. That way you can login to a region that is broadcasting the tennis. And it’s really easy to do: 

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:

The best 3 VPNs for streaming sports online
1. ExpressVPN:  the best all-round VPN for streaming, comes with 30-day trial
2. IPVanish: claims to be the world’s fastest VPN, it supports up to 10 devices per subscription
3. VyprVPN: blazing speeds make VyprVPN a great choice for 4K video

2. Connect to the appropriate server location
Simply open the VPN app, hit ‘choose location’ and select the appropriate location to stream that country’s feed – it’s super easy to do. The obvious option is to choose a UK locale and then stream Wimbledon live on TVPlayer using the link below.

3. Go to TVPlayer.com or the Wimbledon website
TVPlayer,com is a great service and, crucially, is a free and legal way to stream live all the tennis action you can handle from Wimbledon. TVPlayer.com gives you access to tonnes more channels.

We know that the Wimbledon website will be showing a live stream as well, but it isn’t completely clear yet what kind of coverage to expect.

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.

The alternative is to watch the championships on TVPlayer.com, which let’s you channel hop at your convenience and delivers a reliable, robust live stream online. And if you’re out of the country but still want the UK coverage, then we suggest using a VPN to virtually relocate to the UK  – full instructions below.

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.

The best ways to stream Wimbledon 2018 live in New Zealand for free

It’s good news for those in New Zealand, as free-to-air TVNZ will be showing all the action from Wimbledon 2018.

However, those wanting their fix of Sue Barker and the Beeb can also use a VPN to access the free UK coverage. The choice is yours.  

Where else can I watch Wimbledon using a VPN?

A VPN will enable you to get a Wimbledon live stream from literally anywhere. So that obviously includes: the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, China, Russia, France, Spain, Japan, Italy, Poland, Germany, Mexico, Czech Republic, Austria, Thailand, Denmark, China, South Africa, Argentina, Singapore, Turkey and more!

How to watch Brazil vs Mexico: live stream World Cup football free from anywhere

Live stream Brazil vs Mexico – where and when

Expect a sea of yellow and green as 45,000 people pack into the Samara Arena for this all-Latin American clash on Monday, July 2. 

Kick-off is at 5pm local time, so that’s 3pm BST, 10am ET, 7am PT, midnight AEST, 9am in Mexico City and 11am in Rio. 

It’s one of the most enticing round of 16 fixtures at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, as Brazil and Mexico face off in an all-Latin American duel for a place in the quarter-finals – and you’re in the right place if you need to know how to watch the action with a free live stream.

Brazil may have entered the competition as many people’s favorites, but Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia didn’t make life easy for the Samba Boys in group E even if they did ultimately top the standings. Despite the abundance of firepower for Brazil going forward, Neymar and co haven’t yet hit the heights which could mean a first start for Liverpool’s Firmino if Tite fancies shuffling his pack. 

Mexico will be desperate to pull off an upset by any means necessary to exorcise the ‘curse of the fifth game’, which has seen El Tri go out after four matches in every one of the last six World Cups. But will we see the Mexico that looked so impressive against Germany and South Korea, or the side that surrendered tamely to Sweden?

Find out by following one of the free live stream options below and watching Brazil vs Mexico live, wherever you are in the world. And don’t forget, we’ve got all the live stream info covered across the tournament in our World Cup watching guide.

How to watch Mexico vs Brazil: US live stream 

Fox Sport is the official US broadcaster for World Cup soccer in the US and it’s 10am ET / 7am PT kick-off for Brazil vs Mexico. If you don’t have cable, you could always grab a free trial to another streaming service like Sling and Fubo and watch on there.

The alternative is to use a VPN service to grab a live stream from another country’s coverage. Scroll up and check out our instructions above.

How to watch Mexico vs Brazil: New Zealand live stream 

Unlike in the UK, you have to pay to watch the World Cup in New Zealand. Sky Sports have the rights locally so will be showing Brazil vs Mexico which has a not-so-sociable 2am kick-off time on Tuesday morning. 

If you don’t have Sky and don’t want to subscribe just for the FIFA World Cup, then you could go for a VPN instead and tune into free coverage from another country.

Power returns on STARZ PLAY with its most explosive season yet

Starz Original series, Power, is the best show 50 Cent has ever produced and is set to make its highly anticipated return this week exclusively on STARZ PLAY Arabia. The show’s latest season will see its star-studded ensemble delve deeper into the seductive Manhattan nightlife of the elite, the violent underworld of organized crime and the equally ruthless world of law enforcement. 

Power snared in a large audience across Starz and its streaming app, STARZ PLAY, with its addictive plot lines and edge-of-the-seat suspense. The show follows family man, nightclub owner and drug kingpin, James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), torn up between trying to get legitimate while pursuing an old flame and dealing with the more nefarious side of his drug empire. 

Aiding Ghost is his brother-in-arms Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) and fierce wife, Tasha (Naturi Naughton). Ghost is on the verge of leaving his criminal life behind and starting anew with renewed old flame and federal prosecutor, Angela Valdez (Lela Loren) when a shady figure from his past, Kanan Stark (50 Cent) comes back into his world threatening to jeopardize everything Ghost has worked for. 

Power is all about who has the upper hand and the characters doing whatever it takes and putting everything on the line to get it. 

WARNING: Spoilers ahead

Season 4 saw Ghost in his “darkest hour” dealing with a tough legal fight brought on by his ex-lover and struggling to recalibrate his life after his acquittal. Things weren’t any better at home with Tasha struggling to keep her kids protected from the negative aftermath of Ghost’s arrest. 

She loses control over Tariq as he begins to question the integrity of his family and starts hanging out with Kanan whose dark influence leads Tariq to all kinds of unruly circumstances including a botched robbery and a murder. 

Law enforcement on Power is depicted a little differently than in other crime shows, they’re cunning, smart and in-step if not ahead of the criminals they’re trying to lock up. They also make mistakes and take the law into their own hands as they see fit.

Angela and her colleagues fail to convict Ghost but finally get to the bottom of Greg’s murder and put the Lobos case to rest once and for all. She gets a promotion for all her troubles much to her male colleagues’ chagrin who still want Ghost to pay for his crimes.

Our favorite hothead, Tommy, tries to take control over the drug business as the new Connect after Lobos meets an unsavory end. With help from Ghost he manages to work the drug network to his favor but things unravel quickly.

Dre has been quietly building his own empire in Ghosts’ absence and manipulates Tommy out of his tight hold over the drug network and partners up with the Jimenez family to become the sole distributor in the city. 

The season ends with the shocking death of Ghost’s daughter Raina by the hands of Dre’s old partner who Tariq later confronts and shoots. Ghost and Tommy go on a murderous rampage to seek retribution while Tasha turns to Angela for help. 

The final scenes see Ghost, Tommy and Kanan forming an offbeat alliance fueled by grief and revenge to bring down Dre and the Jimenz family. These boys have a long complicated history together. Trust levels are low and tensions are likely to reach dangerous levels. Whether they’ll be able to put the past behind for good and work together is something we’ll have to wait and see.

Ladies of Power have their own set of problems to deal with in season 5. Angela just got promoted and her implication in covering up the murder of Raina’s killer could have dire repercussions which could see her seeking an offbeat alliance of her own. Tasha will have her hands full as well between mourning her daughter’s death and doing whatever she can to protect Tariq from prosecution.

Fans could be in for some big shocks and major twists in the upcoming season. With all that went down in the final episodes of season 4, one thing’s clear: no one’s been safe on Power for a while now and another big death could be on the cards for season 5.

There’s been a remarkable jump in the overall quality, drama and intensity of the show every season and if this level of progression continues, Power might have its most thrilling and captivating season yet. 

Can Ghost rise up from the tragic death of his daughter and work with old foes to reclaim power or will he fall apart and unravel? 

Power returns on July 2 and will air exclusively on STARZ PLAY in the Middle East. Viewers in the region will be able to watch new episodes same day as the US. All previous seasons of the show are also available on the app, if you need a quick refresher or a compelling series to binge on.

Power’s season 3 had the second highest viewership behind Game of Thrones with each episode getting an average of 8 million viewers across the channel and app
