Where to watch Wimbledon for free in London
the tennis, on a big screen, for nothing
Wimbledon 2026 finals weekend: Sat 11 and Sun 12 July
Who's playing and when
Screens show the BBC feed 11am to 11pm BST. Women's Final, Sat 11 July at 4pm, Muchová vs Nosková, an all-Czech final. Men's Final, Sun 12 July at 4pm, Sinner vs Zverev. Doubles finals from 1pm both days.
Free on the BBC
Wimbledon is free to air on BBC One and Two and every court is live streamed free on BBC iPlayer. The only cost is a UK TV Licence. That is the baseline free watch, at home or any pub showing it.
The Hill is not a free screen
Henman Hill, or The Hill, is inside the Wimbledon grounds and needs a paid Grounds Pass of about £21 to £33. It is not a free outdoor screen. See our guide to getting into Wimbledon without overpaying.

Pubs and beer gardens
Most pubs show the tennis and a beer garden is the summer pick. One catch this year, the World Cup is on at the same time so some places put the football on instead. Finals weekend gets busy and a few charge for the finals.
Confirm before you go
It is finals weekend and these free screens can fill up early or be called off if it rains, so check the venue before you travel. Last verified 11 July 2026.
