The Championships at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club — better known as Wimbledon 2025 — are on! Some of the biggest names in tennis are gathering on the green to play in the grass-court Major over the next two weeks. Fresh off his French Open win, defending Wimbledon champ Carlos Alcaraz will seek to add another trophy to his case, but Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic are both still in it to win it themselves. American tennis star and 2025 French Open champion Coco Gauff was eliminated in the first round of the tournament in a shocking upset, one of several top seeds, including Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys, and Qinwen Zheng, to exit the tournament early on the women’s side. Here’s how to watch the rest of the action.

Don’t live in either of those places? Don’t worry, you can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to the next F1 race without a cable package, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.
