BBC extends Wimbledon broadcasting deal until 2027

Wimbledon was first broadcasted by BBC 85 years ago and it will continue to be broadcasted until 2027 after a new 3-year deal was struck.

The Wimbledon-BBC broadcasting partnership is the longest in sports history and it will continue to do so in the future. A new three-year deal was announced which means that the Grand Slam will be broadcasted on the station until 2027. The event will be free-to-air for at least six more years.

Barbara Slater, BBC Sports CEO said:

"Wimbledon has a special place in the hearts of the nation and, with this extension, we can continue our longstanding and valued partnership with the All England Club. Wimbledon on the BBC will continue to bring the nation must-see sporting moments free-to-air captivating audiences of all ages."

Mick Desmond, the All England Club's commercial and media director added:

"We are absolutely delighted to have extended our historic partnership. The BBC is as synonymous with Wimbledon as strawberries and cream and enables us to reach all corners of the UK through their outstanding production and network of platforms."
