BBC to show all Wimbledon matches live in HD for first time

June 21, 2019 07.05 Europe/London By Robert Briel

The BBC will provide coverage of all Wimbledon matches from all 18 courts in HD live for the first time ever.

Wimbledon 2019 begins on 1 July, with the BBC bringing coverage across TV, radio and digital platforms.

BBC Sport’s digital service at Wimbledon will be larger than ever this year. The BBC’s ultra-high definition (UHD/4k) trials are being expanded this year, so that viewers with compatible TVs will be able to watch every centre court match in UHD and high dynamic range on BBC iPlayer and by pressing the red button.

And for the first time ever, every match from all 18 courts will be available live and on-demand on BBC iPlayer and on the BBC Sport website and app. All broadcast programmes will be available for 30 days.

Sue Barker (pictured) leads duties across BBC One and BBC Two throughout The Championships.

Barbara Slater, Director of BBC Sport, says: “Wimbledon is the centrepiece event of the sporting calendar and it will be brilliant to welcome back our unrivalled team of experts this year alongside some new faces. The BBC’s offering this year will bring our audiences exceptional coverage and bring them closer to the court action than ever before.”
