How to watch Wimbledon 2023: TV channel, live stream details and coverage explained ahead of tennis Grand Slam

We are now just a few days away from the start of Wimbledon 2023 with tennis stars from around the world venturing to SW19 to take part in the third Grand Slam of the year.

Novak Djokovic will be this year’s top favourite to lift the trophy. The Serbian is the reigning champion in the men’s competition and recently secured his 23rd Grand Slam after winning the French Open in June.

Elena Rybakina is the defending champion in the Ladies’ tournament and will face fierce competition from the world number one, Iga Swiatek, who is still seeking her first Wimbledon Grand Slam win.

The British contingent is set to be out in full force next week with Cameron Norrie leading the way. The 27-year-old reached the semi-finals of the tournament last year and will hope to go one step further in 2023. He will be joined by Dan Evans and Andy Murray while the likes of Katie Boulter, Harriet Dart and Liam Broady have all been handed tournament wildcards for the first round proper.
