BBC Sport will continue to broadcast Wimbledon until 2033 after signing a new deal with the All England Club.

The agreement means the Grand Slam tournament will remain free to air for audiences in the UK across BBC television, radio and digital platforms.

Next year’s tournament will mark 100 years since the BBC first broadcast Wimbledon in 1927.

Under the new deal, audiences will continue to enjoy comprehensive live coverage of the Championships across BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds, and the BBC Sport website and app, as well as across BBC Sport’s extensive social channels.

The 2026 tournament gets under way on Monday with champions Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek defending their singles titles.

This year’s Wimbledon coverage will usher in a fresh new editorial and creative approach from BBC Sport, featuring new voices and personalities, deeper storytelling, enhanced analysis, and technology across TV, radio, online and social platforms – all designed to bring audiences closer to the Championships than ever before.

The announcement follows record-breaking digital audiences for Wimbledon on BBC platforms last summer.

In 2025, the tournament generated 69.3 million online requests across BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and app – the highest digital engagement for the Championships ever recorded.

That figure surpassed the previous record of 54.3 million set in 2023 and marked a significant increase on the 50.1 million online requests recorded in 2024.

MINNEAPOLIS — A queue formed around Dalton Rushing. It had been one of the most frustrating half innings of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ season, and the young catcher was at the center of it. When the bottom of Wednesday’s cortisol-raising second inning was complete, Shohei Ohtani stomped to the dugout and down the tunnel, so Rushing followed. When Rushing returned to the bench, Freddie Freeman approached him.

The veteran first baseman heard Rushing out. So did Brent Walker, who is on the Dodgers’ staff as a mental skills coach. Eventually, pitching coach Mark Prior joined in. Then manager Dave Roberts came and put his left arm around Rushing, spending most of the half inning trying to get the 25-year-old dialed back into the game still in progress.

Rushing felt one thing.

“It’s embarrassing that I need support like that,” Rushing said. “I’m a grown man. It’s a pretty tough pill to swallow, both sides of the ball. Not a great showing. It hasn’t been great as of late. I’m going to get better.”

The cameras seem to find Rushing often in his first full season in the major leagues, especially when he’s catching the best player on the planet. The backstop lets his emotions be seen and heard. The Dodgers know this. They did not learn anything new about their 2022 first-round draft pick over the course of an eventual 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins.

This was still a learning moment. This time, there was plenty of emotion to go around in the Dodgers dugout.

“It’s a work in progress,” Roberts said of Rushing. He has been pressed into everyday duty with Will Smith on the injured list with an inflamed disc in his neck and is experiencing the learning curve in real time.

The frustration, at least mostly, centered on Rushing’s pitch calling for Ohtani as the second inning spiraled.

Ohtani had allowed the Twins to string together three singles to load the bases. He and Rushing already were on different pages, with Ohtani saying afterward he didn’t feel convicted about what was being called.

“It’s more of the in-game flexibility, just reading the swings, reading how the hitters are taking their approach during the game, that I see, where you know where the adjustment needs to happen,” Ohtani said through interpreter Will Ireton.

Then they got mixed up altogether. Ohtani said two pitches were called before his first pitch to Ryan Kreidler: first a breaking ball, and then a fastball.

Ohtani threw the fastball, the hardest pitch of his career at 101.7 mph. It zipped inside and past Rushing, allowing a run to score and exemplifying the gap in communication between them.

“I messed it up,” Rushing said. “It was my fault.”

Two pitches later, Ohtani fired a sweeper to Kreidler that he thought caught the bottom of the strike zone. So he challenged it, despite Rushing not wanting him to challenge earlier in the frame. Rushing shook his head again this time, but it was indeed a strike. Later in the at-bat, Kreidler sent a 101.4 mph fastball back up the middle to bring home two more runs and turn up the heat to boil.

It took too long to stem the bleeding.

“It’s about as difficult as I made it look,” Rushing said.

The Dodgers had retaken the lead by the time Ohtani came back out for the following inning (in part thanks to Ohtani’s run-scoring single in the top of the third). This time, he did not wait for Rushing’s signal. He punched in his own pitches into a PitchCom device on his left biceps, telling Rushing in the tunnel that he was taking over the controls on the pitch calling. Ohtani struck out the side on 13 pitches.

“There’s really a couple ways of communicating,” Ohtani said. “One is by words, but the other way to be able to communicate is by example, and just taking the charge and showing Rush what kind of pitching style I’m capable of.”

The second-inning runs wound up being the only damage Ohtani allowed in six innings Wednesday as he moved his ERA to 1.58. Ohtani averaged 99.8 mph on his fastball, the highest average velocity of any outing in his career.

“Thankfully he’s as good as he is and he can take control of the game,” Rushing said. “It was pretty embarrassing.”

It is a small sample, but a notable one. In 10 starts with Smith behind the plate, Ohtani allowed five earned runs in 61 innings. In three with Rushing catching him (a stretch that has also seen Ohtani pitch through knee trouble and a blister), Ohtani has allowed nine earned runs in 18 2/3 innings.

Rushing’s emotional night did not end there. When he struck out in the third inning for the second time, he slammed his helmet on the bench, breaking it into two. When he struck out a third time, he repeatedly slammed his head into his hands. He popped up in the eighth inning against Yoendrys Gómez, then screamed into his helmet as he retreated into the dugout.

Rushing homered seven times in a stellar April. Since then, his OPS in the 31 games entering Wednesday was .589, and then he went 0-for-4. Roberts assured that Rushing’s offensive swoon hasn’t bled into other aspects of the game. Neither is going particularly well at the moment.

“There’s a learning curve for everything,” Roberts said. “He’s still trying to find his way in the big leagues, he’s trying to perform offensively.”

The Dodgers have brought Rushing along slowly for a reason. They treated his first stint in the big leagues in 2025 as essentially an internship under Smith, instructing Rushing to focus on developing his rapport with the pitching staff and learning the finer aspects of being behind the plate. Even as Rushing got out to a torrid start offensively, the Dodgers have urged him to separate that from his defensive priorities. When Smith went down this month, Roberts preached how much Rushing had grown to be able to handle close to an everyday role.

That will continue, Wednesday’s bad inning aside. Smith is still not doing baseball activities. The club’s current backup catcher, Chuckie Robinson, has scant experience with several of the team’s top arms. Rushing will have to continue to work out his development in real time.

“Luckily we’ve won baseball games,” Rushing said of his recent taste of being a starting catcher. “I just want to get back to doing my part and helping on both sides of the ball.”
