When is the Wimbledon 2025 men's final? Date, new start time and TV coverage confirmed
Your guide to the Wimbledon 2025 men's singles final.
The Wimbledon final is one of the few sporting occasions that can still bring the nation to a relative standstill.
Last year's men's singles final drew in a peak audience of 7.5 million on BBC One, proving that traditionally huge events can still pull in huge TV audiences across the land.
This year's final could be another blockbuster, with world No. 1 Jannik Sinner up against back-to-back reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz.
Their Wimbledon final comes just five weeks after they faced off in the French Open final, an epic five-hour game that saw Alcaraz defeat Sinner. It's the building rivalry that many tennis fans have been waiting for, akin to the glory days of Nadal and Federer. But who will emerge triumphant?
As for when and where you can watch the Wimbledon men's final, RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about how to watch in 2025.

Alcaraz won 6-2 6-2 7-6 to claim last year's crown, and he will feel well-positioned to go deep into the tournament again.
