Where to watch Wimbledon qualifying on TV and live stream
Wimbledon qualifying is being broadcast live on the BBC from 11am on each day of the competition – from June 23 to June 26.
Live matches will air on BBC Red Button and BBC iPlayer and there is also a live stream of the main court on the BBC Sport website and app.
Where is Wimbledon qualifying held?
The Wimbledon Qualifying Competition is held at the AELTC Wimbledon Qualifying and Community Sports Centre Roehampton.
How does Wimbledon qualifying work?
The men’s and women’s singles main draws at Wimbledon each feature 128 singles players.
The top 104 players automatically gain direct entry, eight spots are given to wildcards and the other 16 spots must be secured via qualification.
To secure a place in the main draw, qualifiers compete in a knockout tournament and must win every one of their matches across three rounds.
If a qualifier wins in all three rounds, they will have earned a spot in the first round of singles at Wimbledon 2025, which gets underway on June 30.
