When is Wimbledon 2026? Sport has set out its plans for The Championships 2026 with every single match live and new voices added across TV, radio, digital and social platforms. The coverage stays free-to-air and available to everyone, while Andrew Castle prepares for his last Wimbledon on the team after over 20 years.
Sport Wimbledon's new voices
Jamie Murray OBE joins as the dedicated analysis expert, while Genie Bouchard is in the team for Wimbledon for the first time. Laura Robson returns, and Andre Agassi comes back for the climax of the tournament. That group gives Sport a wider mix of playing experience and commentary depth than before.
Clare Balding CBE and Isa Guha MBE will lead the daily TV coverage across One, Two and iPlayer. John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Pat Cash, Tim Henman OBE, Annabel Croft and Kyle Edmund are also part of the Wimbledon team, giving the TV side a long list of familiar names around the live action.
Andrew Castle leaves after 20 years
The change comes with one clear departure. Castle will have his last Wimbledon on the team after over 20 years on commentary duties, closing a long run that has covered several eras of the tournament. Sport is widening the roster while one of its most familiar voices steps away.
That split is the sharpest part of the announcement. The broadcaster is adding more analysis, more voices and more ways to watch, but it is also saying goodbye to a commentator who has been part of its Wimbledon coverage for more than two decades. For viewers, that means the 2026 edition will be both broader and more changed than a standard summer reset.
Radio 5 Live coverage
Gigi Salmon and Clare McDonnell will cover Wimbledon across Radio 5 Live, 5 Sports Extra and Sounds. Russell Fuller will continue to lead the ’s cross-platform tennis journalism and commentate on Radio 5 Live. The radio and digital side therefore keeps its core voices in place while the TV team expands around them.
Sport says Wimbledon 2026 coverage will be free-to-air and available to everyone. For viewers, the practical answer is simple: live match coverage will sit across TV, radio, digital and social platforms, with the main TV output on One, Two and iPlayer and the audio coverage spread across Radio 5 Live, 5 Sports Extra and Sounds.
