The tennis world returns to the gorgeous grass courts at All England Club for the oldest tournament in the world: Wimbledon 2024. Defending Wimbledon champions Marketa Vondrousova and Carlos Alcaraz will both be back to defend their titles, alongside Iga Swiatek, Jannik Sinner and Coco Gauff.

How to watch Wimbledon for free:

This year, the BBC will once again cover the entire tournament across BBC One and BBC Two for UK audiences. All of the BBC’s free Wimbledon coverage will stream live on BBC iPlayer. And in Germany, you can catch the whole tournament included with Amazon Prime Video. Tuning in from the US but want to watch the grand Slam for free like the Brits or Germans? You can stream freely with the help of a VPN.

A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to a boxing match this weekend without paying the PPV prices, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.

(ExpressVPN)

ExpressVPN offers “internet without borders,” meaning you can catch free coverage of the 2024 Tour de France without shelling out for Peacock. All you’ll need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your server location to the UK and then find free livestream coverage on one of the streaming platforms mentioned above.

ExpressVPN’s added protection, speed and range of location options make it an excellent choice for first-time VPN users looking to stretch their streaming abilities, plus, it’s Endgadget’s top pick for the best streaming VPN. New users can save 49% when they sign up for ExpressVPN’s 12-month subscription. Plus, the service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, in case you’re nervous about trying a VPN.
