Wimbledon is back for another year and BBC will show extensive coverage of the glorious glass-court tournament throughout the two weeks of tennis action.

No British summer is complete without the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of Wimbledon, so crack out the strawberries and cream, settle into your armchair, and let’s savour every moment.

Novak Djokovic and Elena Rybakina are back to defend their titles from last year, and the 2023 edition boasts a bit of extra spice due to the return of ranking points following last year’s controversial lack of points.

A dispute over Russian and Belarusian players being barred by the All England Club led to the ATP and WTA Tours withdrawing points from the tournament. That means no points will be wiped out this week, with everything to gain.

British players include Andy Murray, Cam Norrie and Dan Evans among the men’s tournament, while Katie Burrage, Katie Swan and Heather Watson are among the women’s contenders, though Emma Raducanu is absent through injury.

Fans across the UK have plenty of options to soak up all the drama live across BBC platforms, with daily live coverage, highlights and more coming throughout the duration of Wimbledon.

Where is Wimbledon 2023 held?

The tournament is held at the iconic All England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon, south west of London.

Wimbledon has been held at the All England Club since 1877, making it the oldest tennis tournament in the world.

The All England Club boasts lush outdoor lawn courts, making it the only Grand Slam tennis tournament to be held on grass.

The main matches are held in the 14,979 capacity Centre Court, which had a retractable roof added in 2009.

The nearby Aorangi Park has become colloquially known as Henman Hill and Murray Mound after the famous British players, and fans traditionally watch the matches there while eating strawberries and cream.
