MoqadisShahzadTennis occupies a distinctive position in UK broadcasting. Wimbledon — the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament — is a beloved free-to-air institution on the BBC, while the other three Grand Slams and the broader ATP and WTA tours are split across Sky Sports and Eurosport/Discovery+. IPTV covers this entire broadcast landscape in a single subscription.
Wimbledon — The BBC’s Crown Jewel
The BBC has broadcast Wimbledon since 1937 and the relationship between the nation’s premier tennis tournament and its public broadcaster is deeply embedded in UK culture. Two weeks in late June and early July, BBC One and BBC Two dedicate extensive daily airtime to Centre Court and other courts, with highlights in the evening.
Wimbledon coverage is available through every IPTV subscription as part of the BBC channels in your package. No additional subscription or payment is required.
