Where to watch Wimbledon 2024: TV and live stream details, session times for tennis grand slam | Sporting News

Tennis’ crown jewel tournament is back and bigger than ever in 2024, as The Championships at Wimbledon begin from the All England Club in London. There’s a £50 million (U.S. $63.4 million) prize pot to be shared come the second weekend in July, as the world’s best players touch down in the UK looking to etch their names into tennis immortality.

There’s no bigger stage, no better competition and no greater glory than Wimbledon, and after Carlos Alcaraz defeated seven-time champion Novak Djokovic to win an epic 2023 decider, tennis fans the world over are expecting another tournament of the highest class.

However, despite Alcaraz’s and Djokovic’s past success, it’s new world No. 1 Jannik Sinner who is top of the seedings coming into this year’s tournament, having just come off the back of a French Open semifinal after victories at the Australian Open and Miami Masters so far this year.

In the Women’s Singles tournament, world No. 1 Iga Swiatek is the top seed having collected her third French Open title in a row at Roland Garros. She’ll be hoping to improve on her best Wimbledon finish — the 2023 quarterfinals — but another major shock could be on the cards after Marketa Vondrousova last year became the first unseeded woman to ever win a Wimbledon final.

We’re all set for two weeks of world-class tennis in the sport’s biggest tournament, and to make sure you catch all the action from the All England Club, The Sporting News has you covered.

Wimbledon 2024 date, location

• Date: Monday, July 1 through Sunday, July 14
• Location: London
• Venue: All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club

The 2024 Wimbledon Championships kick off Monday, July 1 and run for two weeks. The event concludes with the women’s doubles final and men’s singles decider on Sunday, July 14.

The annual tournament is played at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. Wimbledon serves as the third of four grand slam events in the tennis season.

Wimbledon 2024 tennis schedule

The first round of matches in both the ATP and WTA singles competitions begins Monday, July 1, with the order of play on most days starting at 11 a.m. local time (BST) onward, usually lasting until roughly 7 p.m. local time.

This translates to a start time of 6 a.m. in the US and Canada (ET), 8:00 p.m. in Australia (AEST) and 3:30 p.m. in India (IST) respectively.

The doubles tournaments for the ATP, WTA and mixed events will run in tandem alongside the major singles competitions, which conclude with the Women’s decider on Saturday, July 13, and Men’s Final on Sunday, July 14, respectively.

Wimbledon 2024 prize money

Already the most well-known, prestigious and lucrative event in tennis, there’s a huge 11.86 percent increase in prize money from Wimbledon 2023 ahead of this year’s even. That total pot now stands at a whopping £50million (U.S. $63.4 million), which like many of the biggest tournaments on both the WTA and ATP, is split equally for male and female competitors.

The winner of either singles final is set to pocket a huge £2.7 million ($3.4 million) of that sum, just less than double the amount awarded to the losing finalist come July 13-14. The Doubles teams are also compensated with £650,000 ($824,000) to split between the winning pair, with entries for that competition beginning at the Round of 64 stage.

That 11.86 percent jump in the overall prize pot also means competitors lower down the pecking order receive huge sums for their progress, with ATP and WTA players both in line to earn £60,000 alone even if they fail to make it past the first round.
