How to watch Wimbledon 2021 online from anywhere

After being cancelled last year due to the pandemic, the oldest tennis tournament in the world is back on and we have all the details on how you can watch every match at Wimbledon 2021 on TV or online.

The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, England has been holding its annual Tennis championship since 1877. Unlike other Grand Slam tennis events though, Wimbledon is still held on grass. The Club itself currently has 18 tournament grass courts, eight American clay courts, two acrylic courts and five indoor courts as well as 22 Aorangi Park grass courts which are used as practice courts before and during The Championships.

The two-week tennis tournament kicks off on Monday, June 28 and will run all the way till Sunday, July 11 with coverage of each day's matches beginning at 11am BST in the UK or 6am ET / 3am PT in the U.S. While Wimbledon was cancelled last year, there will be some fans in attendance at this year's tournament and up to 15,000 people will be able to watch the matches in the Centre Court during finals weekend.

After losing to Novak Djokovic during the semifinals at the French Open, two-time Wimbledon champion Rafel Nadal announced that he won't be attending this year's tournament. As a result of him sitting out this year, Novak Djokovic will be in the perfect position to add another Grand Slam victory to his record. If he does win his sixth Wimbledon Singles trophy and 20th Grand Slam, Djokovic will be tied with Nadal and Roger Fedrer for most Grand Slam wins.

Japan's Naomi Osaka has also said she'll be sitting out Wimbledon this year to spend with friends and family which leaves the women's field wide open. This will give Ashleigh Barty, Barbora Krejcikova as well as rising stars Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff a chance to shine.

When it comes to the prize money for winning this year's tournament, the winners of the Men's and Women's Singles will each receive 1.7 million, the Men's and Women's Doubles champions will receive 480,000 per pair and the Mixed Doubles champions will receive 100,000 per pair.

Whether you're a huge fan that has been waiting over a year to watch the world's oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament or just want to tune in to see a few matches at The Championships this year, we'll show you how to watch Wimbledon 2021 from anywhere in the world.
