When does Wimbledon start? Tennis' third Grand Slam set to begin in London
The third Grand Slam event of the 2025 tennis season is at hand as the best players in the world convene in London for The Championships at Wimbledon.
The 138 edition of the storied grass-court tournament takes place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
The top-ranked players automatically qualify for the main draw, which includes 32 seeded players in both the men's and women's pool. A total of 128 players comprise the field in each bracket. Play continues throughout the fortnight, with only one scheduled day off on Sunday, July 6. However, that day is frequently used to make up matches delayed or postponed by rain.
Here are the essentials to get you ready for Wimbledon 2025:
When is the 2025 Wimbledon tournament?
The 2025 Wimbledon tournament will begin on Monday, June 30, 2025 and be played over 14 days before concluding on Sunday, July 13, in London.
How to watch the 2025 Wimbledon tournament
The 2025 Wimbledon tournament will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC, and the Tennis Channel. Fans wanting to stream the action can watch matches on ESPN+ or Fubo.
Who are the defending Wimbledon champions?
Carlos Alcaraz of Spain is the two-time defending men's singles champion at Wimbledon and just won the French Open men's singles title for the second year in a row on the clay at Roland Garros. A three-peat would cement the 22-year-old Alcaraz with some of the all-time greats at the All England Club. Since the Open era began in 1968, only Roger Federer (2003-07), Pete Sampras (1993-95; 1997-2000) and Bjorn Borg (1976-80) have managed to win Wimbledon three years in a row.
On the women's side, Barbora Krejčíková of the Czech Republic is the defending singles champion after she outlasted Jasmine Paolini in three sets to become the second consecutive Czech winner. Markéta Vondroušová shocked the tennis world by becoming the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon when she prevailed in 2023.
Who are the top seeded players at Wimbledon?
Italian Jannik Sinner, the reigning Australian Open and U.S. Open champion is this year's top seed on the men's side at Wimbledon. That's despite losing to Alcaraz in an epic French Open final. Alcaraz is seeded second, followed by No. 3 seed Alexander Zverev of Germany, and No. 4 seed – and hometown favorite – Jack Draper of the United Kingdom.
Aryna Sabalenka is the No. 1 women's seed ahead American Coco Gauff, who is the No. 2 seed despite beating Sabalenka in the 2025 French Open final. American Jessica Pegula is the No. 3 seed in the bracket.

Ryder Lyons Turns Heads With Major Exposure For BYU Decision
Ryder Lyons Turns Heads With Major Exposure For BYU Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. BYU Football made a monumental splash on the recruiting trail Tuesday by snagging five-star quarterback Ryder Lyons. The Folsom (California) signal-caller is the highest-rated recruit in program history. Lyons chose BYU over national powers, including Oregon and USC. Advertisement The announcement came live on ESPN's 'The Pat McAfee Show,' sending shockwaves through the recruiting world. Lyons became the first five-star prospect to commit to BYU since 247Sports began ranking recruits in 2010. He is also the No. 13 overall player and No. 4 quarterback in the 2026 recruiting class. 'They were the first ones to offer me, back in eighth grade,' Lyons said on the show. 'They believed in me early. It's crazy how it all comes full circle.' McAfee is known for his energetic commentary and praised Lyons' maturity and leadership. 'You're a beast,' he said. 'The way you spin it, the way you run and lead your team. It's why every college in the country wants you.' Advertisement Lyons won't be in Provo until 2027 and plans to serve an LDS mission before enrolling at BYU. He spoke candidly about navigating the complexities of NIL opportunities at a young age. He already has an agent and a full support team who navigates every move. 'It's confusing,' Lyons admitted. 'You're thrown a lot of money from a lot of different places. But you've got to stay humble. The goal is to make it to the NFL. That's where the real money is.' McAfee tipped his cap to Lyons' perspective. 'He's like a 45-year-old,' McAfee said. 'He gets it. He's mature enough to handle the attention and the pressure.' Advertisement Lyons also discussed his plans to submit mission paperwork in August. McAfee reflected on his past conversations with former BYU star Austin Collie, his teammate on the Indianapolis Colts, about LDS missions and culture. 'I believe it's a huge honor... A calling from God,' McAfee said. Lyons responded, 'That is it.'

He threw for 3,011 yards, 46 touchdowns and just six interceptions, while also rushing for 585 yards and 14 touchdowns. Advertisement Related: BYU Football Beats Out Oregon For Five-Star QB Ryder Lyons' Commitment With Lyons' pledge, BYU's 2026 class jumped from No. 46 to No. 38 in the 247Sports Team Composite Rankings.

Harris picked BYU over Georgia and Alabama, while Mulitalo is set to be the first top-100 offensive lineman to sign with BYU under head coach Kalani Sitake. BYU enters 2025 with its most talent-rich recruiting class in modern program history. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 24, 2025, where it first appeared.

BYU QB Jake Retzlaff to Enter Transfer Portal, Per Reports
BYU QB Jake Retzlaff to Enter Transfer Portal, Per Reports originally appeared on Athlon Sports. BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff is planning to enter the transfer portal, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Sources say he has informed several members of Kalani Satake's coaching staff and Cougars players of his plan to leave. Advertisement This comes after Salt Lake Tribune's Kevin Reynolds reported that Retzlaff was facing a seven-game suspension for violating BYU's Honor Code tied to a civil lawsuit. An attorney representing Retzlaff denied allegations that his client sexually assaulted a woman in 2023. In response to a lawsuit in the Third Judicial District Court in Utah, Retzlaff's lawyer issued a statement via a court filing on Friday. "Mr. Retzlaff specifically and categorically denies each and every and all allegations that he bit, raped or strangled [the woman], which are ridiculous and bizarre allegations, all of which are false and untrue." After the lawsuit was filed, BYU issued a statement saying, "The university takes any allegation very seriously, following all processes and guidelines mandated by Title IX." However, they didn't get into specifics on the situation. "Due to federal and university privacy laws and practices for students, the university will not be able to provide additional comment." Advertisement Retzlaff enters his senior season after throwing for nearly 3,000 years and 20 touchdowns to 12 interceptions last year. BYU was one win away from their first Big 12 championship appearance.
