Wimbledon 2021 is now live, having started on June 28. It concludes on July 11. Coverage gets under way at around 6 a.m. ET / 3 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. BST each day. In the U.S., Wimbledon will air on ESPN and the Tennis Channel, both are available on Sling TV Orange with Sports Extra. Sling starts as low as $10 for the first monththanks to a current sale. Both networks are included with Fubo (7-day free trial). In the U.K., it’s free with BBC iPlayer, but Brits traveling abroad will need a VPN such as Express VPN to watch like they’re back home.
Week 2 of the 2021 Wimbledon live streams is here, we’re about to see another big name take the courts as we try to forget all the other notable names not in attendance. Today’s Novak Djokovic vs Cristian Garin live stream appears (on paper) to possibly be the first real test of the former, the defending men’s champ. That said, it could be another squash.
And we just saw the elimination of upstart Frances Tiafoe, who’d upset No. 3 ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round. As for who’s not here: the list of names grew longer on Tuesday due to injury. Serena Williams had to withdraw after suffering a leg injury on court as she faced Aliaksandra Sasnovich.
No matter who wins on the women’s side, they won’t face Simona Halep, who beat Williams at Wimbledon 2019. Unfortunately, the defending women’s singles champ from Wimbledon 2019 (last year’s edition was shut down due to Covid-19) had to withdraw due to a calf-injury. Yes, the world’s No. 3-ranked star removed herself on Friday, and follows her decision to remove herself from the French Open.
Halep is not the only notable name who will be absent from the festivities. Naomi Osaka, the No. 2 ranked women’s tennis player, issued a statement earlier this month that she won’t be participating in Wimbledon, noting that she will be “taking some personal time with friends and family.”
Osaka’s decision to leave the French Open, opting to favor her own mental health over mandatory press conferences, garnered more headlines than the tournament itself. In their absence Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka (now No. 2 seed) and Ash Barty (No. 1) are two of the biggest threats to win.

Get a load of this, not only do U.K. fans have the Wimbledon matches at an acceptable time of day (11 a.m. BST, not nearly as early as the U.S.), but it’s also free on the BBC.
Matches will be held on BBC One, BBC Two and the Red Button, with BBC iPlayer there for anyone who isn’t near an actual TV.
Anyone from the U.K. who wants to watch from abroad can get their hookup by using a VPN. How might you do that?
How to watch Wimbledon with a VPN
If you’ve had to leave your own “bubble” — or you’ve been hit by a dreaded local blackout — and you can’t watch the 2021 Wimbledon live streams on cable, you’re not out of luck. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town, and access the same streaming services you already paid for — which is a big deal when the BBC just gives it away for free.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We’ve tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service.
We think speed, security and simplicity make ExpressVPNsecond to none. During our tests, we saw fast connection times, and we’re impressed by the service’s ability to access more than 3,000 services spread out across 160 locations in 94 countries. View Deal
After signing up, you just download and install Express VPN on your laptop, phone or other device and select your home location’s servers. Then, just boot up the streaming service of your choice, and enjoy Wimbledon like you’re back home.

In the U.S. Wimbledon matches are on ESPN and the Tennis channel. Matches start at 6 a.m. ET and 3 a.m. PT.
If you cut the cord, you can get both channels from Sling TV (via Sling Orange with Sports Extra) or Fubo TV’s entry-level package. Both are on our best streaming services list, but tennis fans who also love basketball won’t want to go with Fubo, as it doesn’t have TNT.
Sling TV: You can get ESPN and Tennis Channel in the Sling Orange package with the Sports Extra add-on. The 30-plus channels in the lineup include AMC, CNN, Food Network, AMC, Comedy Central, HGTV and many more.View Deal
