The Wimbledon 2025 Championships are scheduled to take place from Monday, June 30 to Sunday, July 13, 2025, at the historic All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. The women’s singles final is set for Saturday, July 12, and the men’s singles final for Sunday, July 13. Notably, both singles finals will begin at 4:00 PM local time, a shift from the traditional 2:00 PM slot, designed to enhance viewership in North and South America. The doubles finals are now scheduled earlier the same days at 1:00 PM[1][2][3].

This year marks a significant technological leap for the tournament: Live Electronic Line Calling (ELC) replaces all human line judges for the first time in Wimbledon’s history. The technology will be in place on every court, with a small reserve team available in case of technical difficulties. This change brings Wimbledon in line with most ATP and WTA events and means that the French Open is now the only Grand Slam using human line judges. The move is aimed at improving call accuracy and reducing on-court controversy[2][4][6].

Qualifying matches are set for June 23–26 at the Wimbledon Community Sport Centre in Roehampton. The main draw starts June 30 and covers singles, doubles, mixed doubles, juniors, wheelchair, and invitational events. The junior tournament runs July 5–13, while wheelchair competitions are scheduled from July 8–13[3][5].

Entry lists for the main singles draws feature 104 names each, with defending champions and top seeds like Carlos Alcaraz and Markéta Vondroušová (men’s and women’s) joined by stars such as Rafael Nadal and Iga Świątek, plus a surge of young talent. This year’s bracket already saw unprecedented early exits for top seeds, underlining the unpredictable nature of the competition[3][7].

Other notable features for 2025 include:

  • Real-time stats overlays, shot speed data, and AI-powered replays for viewers, plus experimental new broadcast features such as court-view angles based on predicted shot locations[4].
  • Record numbers of public ballot applications for tickets, reflecting the event’s continuing popularity[2].
  • Centre Court and No.1 Court both have retractable roofs, helping to limit weather disruptions, with seating for 14,979 and 12,345 respectively[5].
