How to watch Wimbledon 2026: FREE live streams, TV channels, order of play | Daily Reports Online
Watch Wimbledon 2026 live streams, as top seeds Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, and seven-time champion Novak Djokovic help get the tournament underway. The trio are up on Centre Court from 8.30am ET / 1.30pm BST / 10.30pm AEST on Day 1, where they’ll face Miomir Kecmanovic, Teodora Kostovic and Yibing Wu respectively.
Emma Raducanu was supposed to open play on Court No.1 at 8am ET / 1pm BST / 10pm AEST, but withdrew from the tournament overnight with a new injury. That will force a last-minute reshuffle, the results of which are yet to be revealed at the time of publication.
No.8 Daniil Medvedev was originally supposed to be next up against 2017 finalist Marin Cilic, with newly crowned major winner No.5 Mirra Andreeva closing proceedings against Magda Linette. However, there’s now a chance they’ll be bumped up.
No.7 Coco Gauff headlines the Court No.2 action, opposite Tamara Korpatsch. They’ll be fourth up at the arena, after No.4 Jessica Pegula, No.26 Cam Norrie and No.3 Felix Auger-Aliassime, who are taking on Darja Vidmanova, Michael Zheng and Aleksandr Shevchenko respectively.

Wimbledon 2026 Q&A
What is the Wimbledon 2026 preview?
Wimbledon 2026 preview
Wimbledon 2026 sees seven-time champion Serena Williams make a sensational return to singles action at the age of 44, four years after retiring from tennis. With many of the game’s top stars either off-color (Novak Djokovic, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek) or injured (Carlos Alcaraz), this has the makings of a helter-skelter tournament.
Despite bombing out of the French Open in the second round amid a crippling energy crash, world No.1 and reigning champion Jannik Sinner is the firm men’s favourite. However, Alexander Zverev could make things interesting now that he’s finally exorcised his gland slam hoodoo at the French Open. With Sinner and Djokovic out of the picture, the German took full advantage in Paris, beating Flavio Cobolli in a five-set final.
The form of the big three women has, extraordinarily, deserted them all at the same time. Sabalenka has played four tournaments without reaching a final, which is a drought by her standards, while Gauff and reigning Wimbledon champion Swiatek are yet to pick up any silverware at all this year. Elena Rybakina too has had a quiet time of things since winning the Australian Open.
19-year-old Mirra Andreeva, however, is walking on air after securing her first major at Roland Garros, though in three previous appearances she hasn’t quite looked at home in SW19. It’s a ludicrous thought, but with the draw this wide open, wildcard Williams might just fancy her chances of putting a run together.
She’s sticking to the line that she only came back so that her daughters can watch her play, but even a toddler can see that taking part means nothing to Serena – it’s purely about winning.
Ben Shelton, Frances Tiafoe, Francisco Cerundolo, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Donna Vekic, Linda Noskova, Marie Bouzkova, Karolina Muchová and Madison Keys each enter Wimbledon off the back of grass-court triumphs, while British hope Emma Raducanu enjoyed a confidence-boosting run to the Queen’s final.
