The world’s greatest tennis players are back in London for Wimbledon 2018 and you can watch all the action.

The Championship, held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, sees the biggest stars compete for victory and gives a chance to see many different players from across the world at their best.

Coverage will be broadcast on the BBC – meaning you can even watch it on the go – from tomorrow.

So dust off your racquet, gather those tennis balls and get ready for Wimbledon. Here’s what you need to know…

How can I watch Wimbledon 2018?

The matches will be shown on public broadcaster – and everyone’s favourite Auntie – the BBC, either on BBC One or BBC Two. There is more action to BBC Two this year than previous years due to the World Cup knockout stages this week live on BBC One.

If you can’t get to a television – or need to watch on a secondary device while you watch the football – you can catch every serve on BBC iPlayer and via the BBC Sport website.

Radio 5 live will also have daily coverage, while all the matches, including those on smaller courts, will be streamed live on the official Wimbledon YouTube channel.

Who is presenting the coverage?

A second part of the BBC tradition is Sue Barker at the helm. For two weeks, the veteran sports presenter and former tennis champ will keep us up-to-date with every ball and all the goings on in SW19.

She will be joined by a host of tennis champions including John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Boris Becker and Billie Jean King, as well as Tim Henman. Commentary will come in the form of Andrew Castle, Vijay Amritraj and John Inverdale among others.

Eleanor Oldroyd and Tony Livesey lead the coverage on Radio 5 live with Russell Fuller fronting the commentary team.

Claire Balding will also be on hand to present Today at Wimbledon, where she will be joined by special guests to dissect all the daily action from the courts.

When does it start?

Wimbledon 2018 begins on Monday, July 2.
