The women's singles final is on Saturday, July 12, at 4pm.
The men's singles final takes place a day later, on Sunday, July 13, also at 4pm.
The men's doubles final, which features the all-British duo of Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, is at 1pm on Saturday.
The women's final is at 1pm on Sunday.
As per The Independent, the schedule has been changed this year to attract more of a worldwide audience, with the singles finals now being at 11am in New York.
All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton said: "We have adjusted the provisional schedule for the final weekend of The Championships with the ambition of improving the experience for all involved.
"The move has also been designed with players in mind.
"The doubles players competing in the finals will have increased certainty over their schedule and fans will enjoy each day's play as it builds towards the crescendo of the ladies' and gentlemen's singles finals, with our champions being crowned in front of the largest possible worldwide audience.'
In the Wimbledon women's singles final, it will be Amanda Anisimova vs. Iga Świątek.

Eighth seed Świątek beat unseeded Belinda Bencic.
Neither has won Wimbledon before, with Anisimova having never won a tennis Grand Slam tournament.
Świątek is a four-time winner of the French Open and also won the US Open in 2022.
For the men, it will once again see Jannik Sinner vs. Carlos Alcaraz.
Sinner beat out tennis legend and this year's sixth seed, Novak Djokovic, in his semi-final, with Alcaraz seeing off fifth-seeded American Taylor Fritz.

It will be a rematch of the duo's final in the French Open in June, where Alcaraz won a five-set thriller to win his second French Open title and fifth major title overall.
At 5 hours and 29 minutes, it was the longest French Open final in history and the second-longest major final overall after the 2012 Australian Open final.
This year's Wimbledon final between the Spaniard and the Italian will be the first French Open rematch since Federer and Nadal in 2008.

Italy celebrates first Wimbledon singles winner after Jannik Sinner success
New Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner was congratulated by the Italian prime minister after his Centre Court win over Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner, the world number one, dethroned two-time defending champion Alcaraz with a 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 victory to become the first winner, male or female, from Italy. Prime minister Giorgia Meloni wrote on X: 'Another page of history for Italian sport: Un'altra pagina di storia per lo sport italiano: Jannik Sinner trionfa a Wimbledon e fa sognare un'intera Nazione. Orgogliosi di te, campione! — Giorgia Meloni (@GiorgiaMeloni) July 13, 2025 'Jannik Sinner triumphs at Wimbledon and makes an entire nation dream. Proud of you, champion!' A first Wimbledon title was sweet revenge for the 23-year-old, who lost an epic five-setter to Alcaraz in the French Open final lust last month. Former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli, commentating on BBC 5 Live, said: 'It's so rightly deserved. 'To be able to come back from that, play another grand slam final against the same opponent and be in the same situation, serving for the match and pull out the game he has put together – I can't imagine what they've been going through until this final.' Australian Pat Cash, the 1987 champion, felt Sinner's gameplan worked to perfection. 'A great performance. Just great serving, nullifying the drop shots of Alcaraz,' said the BBC pundit. What a winner from Carlos Alcaraz for the first set! 🔥👉👂 Incredible entertainment here at SW19 💫 #Wimbledon — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 13, 2025 'Alcaraz was below par on his serve and that made a big difference.' Alcaraz's stunning shot to take the first set, a flicked backhand cross-court winner on the stretch, had former British number one Tim Henman purring. 'That was a moment of magic,' he said. 'Such a great rally at set point, the control of the racket face from Alcaraz to direct a winner from that position. There is no one else who has that athletic ability.' Two-time Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal posted on his Instagram story: 'Congratulations Jannik Sinner. Special moments!

Jannik Sinner reveals what he asked Prince George and Princess Charlotte after Wimbledon win
Jannik Sinner revealed what he said to Prince George and Princess Charlotte after his Wimbledon triumph against Carlos Alcaraz. The world No 1 became the first Italian to win a singles title at the All England Club as he avenged his French Open final defeat to Carlos Alcaraz by beating the defending champion in four sets on Sunday. Watching on from the Royal Box was William, the Prince of Wales, and his family, with Catherine, Princess of Wales, and 11-year-old son George and 10-year-old daughter Charlotte. Sinner signed a few tennis balls for the kids and revealed afterwards that he asked them what type of rackets they use when they play tennis. 'In the beginning, I didn't know what to say,' he admitted in his post-match press conference. 'It's difficult to understand, you know, how you can talk. I always try to talk very natural. 'I asked the kids if they play tennis and asked them what kind of rackets they play with, these kind of things. 'It was amazing. I believe for us tennis players, it's so nice to have them watching us because it makes it even more special. 'You see how much they care about tennis and the sport itself. It's very prestigious. I've been lucky to meet her and the whole family, and it was a very nice moment.' Alcaraz, meanwhile, thanked Felipe VI, King of Spain, for watching on from the Royal Box after the match. Sinner added that he was very emotional after his victory. While the 23-year-old won the Australian Open in January, he was banned for three months for failing a drugs test last year and missed out in agonising fashion at the French Open. 'Even if I don't cry, it feels emotional because only me and the people who are close to me know exactly what we have been through on and off the court,' he said. 'It has been everything except easy. We've tried to push every practice session, even if I was struggling at times mentally. 'Maybe even more in practice sessions because I feel like when I play the match, I can switch off and just play. I believe that this helped me a lot.'
