Wimbledon, arguably the most iconic tennis major, started on June 30 in London. Gameplay will continue until July 13, but there have already been shocking eliminations. Coco Gauff, who just won the French Open, was eliminated in the first round Tuesday morning by unseeded Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine.

The single elimination tournament has been held since 1877 and is the only major still played on outdoor grass courts, which can be a tough transition for competitors. It's a star-studded tournament with the biggest names in tennis competing, and A-list names in the crowd. From how to watch, the white dress code, and more, here's everything you should know about how to catch every serve and set.

Is Wimbledon 2025 streaming anywhere?

Yes, but there are unfortunately no live streams this year. Wimbledon is being broadcast across ESPN platforms, so you’ll need a subscription or good old-fashioned cable to watch. 

If you’re already subscribed to ESPN+ or have the Disney Bundle, you’re likely covered. You can also catch the matches through Hulu + Live TV, which includes ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN+ as part of its base plan.

The rules are very specific: no bright colors, no bold patterns, and even colored undergarments can get flagged.
