ESPN will exclusively air Wimbledon 2025 across its multiple platforms in the United States, beginning Monday, June 30, and concluding with the women’s and men’s singles finals on July 12 and 13. Fans will enjoy comprehensive match coverage enriched by commentary led by John McEnroe, bringing his renowned expertise to the broadcast team for Wimbledon 2025.
The commentary crew features notable former champions Chris Evert, who, like McEnroe, claimed three Wimbledon singles titles, and Pam Shriver, who boasts five doubles titles at the All England Club. Their deep knowledge of the tournament promises insightful analysis throughout the championship.
A range of distinguished former players will also contribute, including Mary Joe Fernandez, Patrick McEnroe, James Blake, Coco Vandeweghe, Rennae Stubbs, and Jason Goodall. In a new addition, Sam Querrey—who reached the semifinals on grass in 2017—will make his debut as a commentator, providing fresh perspectives from a recent player’s view.
Darren Cahill, currently co-coach of World No. 1 Jannik Sinner, joins the team while balancing coaching responsibilities, offering expert tactical insights during matches. Supporting these expert voices are veteran commentators Mike Fowler, Chris McKendry, Mike Monaco, and Kris Budden, all enhancing the broadcast’s depth and entertainment value.
American audiences will have access to ESPN’s coverage on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes (in Spanish), and ESPN+. Additionally, ABC will air select matches on the weekend of July 5 and 6, adding to the viewing options for fans.
ESPN’s Growing Role as Wimbledon’s U.S. Broadcast Partner Since 2003
ESPN first became involved with Wimbledon broadcasting in the U.S. as a cable television partner in 2003 but did not secure full broadcasting rights until 2012. This change came after tournament organizers expressed dissatisfaction with the previous broadcaster NBC, particularly due to NBC prioritizing its Today Show over key match coverage.
The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) and ESPN subsequently agreed on a long-term partnership extending coverage through 2035, starting with a new 12-year deal from 2024. ESPN has steadily expanded its broadcasting platforms for Wimbledon, including the introduction of Spanish-language coverage on ESPN Deportes, creating a more consistent and fan-friendly experience.
This comprehensive approach allows viewers to watch matches from the opening rounds right through to the finals without interruption, greatly enhancing accessibility and enjoyment of the tournament in the U.S.
The Importance of Expert Commentary for Wimbledon 2025 Fans
The presence of John McEnroe Wimbledon 2025 commentary, combined with multiple tennis legends and current coaching experts, will provide an unparalleled level of insight and entertainment for fans tuning in. Their firsthand experiences and tactical knowledge enrich the broadcast, creating a deeper understanding of the game and a stronger connection to the action on the grass courts.
With ESPN’s commitment to expanded, uninterrupted coverage and a highly experienced commentary team, viewers can expect a high-quality, immersive Wimbledon experience throughout the two-week event.
