Leading a much-loved roster of presenters, pundits, and commentators are Clare Balding and Isa Guha, who reprise their roles as the main hosts for the TV coverage in 2026.
There are some new additions and returning faces in former British No.1 Laura Robson, 1992 champion Andre Agassi, 2014 finalist Genie Bouchard, and two-time mixed doubles winner Jamie Murray.
Alongside some new faces, the BBC has promised deeper analysis, new technologies and unprecedented access at this year's tournament.
Meanwhile, this will be the last Championships for commentator Andrew Castle, who is set to bow out after more than 20 years on the mic at Wimbledon.
The BBC boasts extensive coverage of Wimbledon once again this year across its TV, radio and online platforms so you need not miss a game, set or match for the entire two weeks.
Radio Times brings you everything you need to know about the Wimbledon 2026 presenters, pundits and commentators.

Clare Balding

The definition of a safe pair of hands. Beginning her career in broadcasting as a BBC trainee in 1994, Balding has become one of the most recognised sports presenters in the UK, reporting on television or radio from numerous Olympic Games' as well as fronting television coverage of horse racing, rugby, athletics and much more.
She has also presented non-sporting shows, including Countryfile and coverage of major events such as The Trooping of the Colour.
Isa Guha

Now a well-established part of the BBC's coverage, Guha will present all the action from Wimbledon every morning on BBC Two.
The former England international cricketer will then hand over the reins to Balding for the afternoon and evening in SW19.
Guha has a wealth of experience commentating and presenting cricket coverage across multiple channels around the world, including BBC's beloved Test Match Special and Sky Sports' coverage, while she also worked on the BBC's coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympics.

An all-time tennis great, Agassi is an eight-time Grand Slam champion and won 60 career titles during a brilliant 20-year career.
The American won Wimbledon in 1992 and played in some truly great matches at the Championships, including his five-set thriller with Pete Sampras a year after his triumph. He will be joining the BBC coverage "for the climax of the tournament"
Laura Robson

Robson announced herself to the tennis world by winning the Junior Wimbledon title at the age of 14 and would later win a silver medal on Centre Court alongside Andy Murray in the mixed doubles at the London 2012 Olympics.
Her career was cut short by injury but she's since become a familiar face in tennis coverage and was part of TNT Sports' coverage of the Winter Olympics earlier this year.
The 32-year-old "will deliver immediate reaction and expert analysis, bringing tennis fans to the heart of the action throughout the Championships".
Jamie Murray

Murray joins the Wimbledon coverage this year as "as BBC Sport’s dedicated analysis expert" and "will use enhanced match data, advanced technology and tactical breakdowns to offer viewers deeper insight into the modern game than ever before".
The Scot was a doubles specialist during his playing career, winning the mixed doubles title twice and capturing seven Grand Slam crowns in total.
Murray spoke exclusively to Radio Times after his retirement earlier this year.
Genie Bouchard

A brand new addition to the BBC team, Bouchard will offer "a contemporary player’s perspective on the realities of competing at the highest level" to "bring audiences closer to the mindset of today’s stars and the stories unfolding beyond the baseline".
The Canadian made the Wimbledon final in 2014, her best result at a Grand Slam, having won the junior event at the All England Club two years before.

Having retired last year, Edmund is part of the BBC broadcast team at the Championships this year – and also works as a tournament director for the LTA.
During a 14-year career, the Brits' highest world ranking was 14. A semi-finalist at the Australian Open in 2018, his best performance at Wimbledon was reaching the third round in the same year.
John McEnroe

Recognised as one of the greatest male tennis players of all time, McEnroe won seven singles Grand Slams and eight doubles Grand Slams in his illustrious career - including lifting the singles title at Wimbledon three time in 1981, 1983 and 1984. Since retiring from tennis McEnroe has become one of the leading pundits and commentators in world tennis.
Martina Navratilova

Navratilova is considered to be one of the best ever female tennis players, with an astonishing record of winning 18 Grand Slam titles during her career - including nine Wimbledon titles between 1979 and 1990. Having dominated the game for so long as a player, her expert insight into the current game has made her a mainstay of tennis broadcasts across the world.
Billie Jean King

A former world number one player, King won an incredible 39 Grand Slam titles during her career: 12 in singles, 16 in women's doubles, and 11 in mixed doubles. Considered to be one of the true greats of modern tennis, she has provided expert commentary for the BBC and other broadcasters for many years.
Pat Cash

Former Wimbledon champion Cash is a familiar face for many across the world after lifting the prestigious trophy in 1987. The Australian is synonymous with Wimbledon after being the first player to climb into the stands to celebrate, a tradition that is now frequently repeated.
Tracy Austin

Former women's World No.1 Austin is a veteran of BBC coverage. She racked up 30 career titles, including two US Open titles. She reached the Wimbledon semi-finals twice in 1979 and 1980 but couldn't take a couple of steps further, though she did win the Wimbledon mixed doubles in 1980.
Tim Henman

One of the best known British players of the modern era, Henman flew the flag as British number one for many years during the late 1990s and early 2000s, reaching the Wimbledon semi-final no less than four times as a singles player - and reaching the same stage of both the American and French Open.
Sadly, he was never to win a singles Grand Slam title, but he is still one of the most recognised names in English tennis, synonymous with Wimbledon.
Henman picked out his six men's players to watch at this year's Championships for Radio Times.
Annabel Croft

A famous face of British tennis, Croft is a regular expert voice across various TV platforms including BBC and Amazon Prime Video. She reached world No.24 in 1985 before retiring at the age of just 21 due to the intense rigours of travel and lack of enjoyment in the game. Croft has since become a household name in the UK due to her career in the media.
Croft tipped her six players to watch in the 2026 women's draw in conversation with Radio Times.
