Tennis fans will be able to watch a new generation of superstars in action when The Championships from Wimbledon starts on Monday 27 June.

Set to be broadcast live in 11 markets across Europe, Warner Bros. Discovery Sports (WBDS) will deliver a full 360-degree experience for fans in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria on discovery+*, Eurosport, Eurosport App and Eurosport.com. Fans in the UK and Ireland will be able to enjoy a daily highlights show on Eurosport and discovery+ in the UK with both singles' finals broadcast live.

Seven-time Grand Slam champion Mats Wilander and former world number seven Barbara Schett will be on-site giving their expert thoughts and views directly from around the grounds, the lawns and Henman Hill, as well as interviewing the stars set to make the headlines, including Casper Ruud (Norway), Simona Halep (Romania), Botic van der Zandschlup (Netherlands), Karolina Pliskova (Czech Republic) and Emil Ruusuvuori (Finland). Both former players will also front a pre and post-play analysis show from the quarter-final stage to bring viewers even closer to the on-court action.

Fans won't miss a point on discovery+ and Eurosport App with all matches, all courts, from every round covered. In addition to coverage on Eurosport and showcasing the full breadth of its network and commitment to ensuring the greatest reach, WBDS' free-to-air channels in Norway (Max), Sweden (K9 and K5) and Finland (TV5) will broadcast matches from the quarter-finals, semi-finals and both ladies and gentlemen's singles finals**. Eurosport in the UK will also show both the women’s and men’s singles finals live.

Continuing his relationship with WBDS, Roland-Garros runner-up and current world number five Casper Ruud take part in a feature-length Ruud Talk vodcast ahead of the tournament with much, much content produced ahead of, and during, this year's event for tennis fans right across Europe. 

On the road to The Championships, WBDS will preview the tournament by creating content with some of the key players gunning for glory. Cameron Norrie, who has enjoyed a meteoric rise up the ATP rankings over the past 12 months, will star in Players' Voice - a first-person column to be published on Eurosport.com - giving fans an insight into the thoughts of one of the most exciting players on tour. A new episode of Legends Voice will also commemorate Marion Bartoli, who won Wimbledon in 2013.

Scott Young, SVP Content and Production at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, said: “Our coverage of Grand Slam tennis is as innovative as the new generation of players who are coming through the ranks at the moment. Some of these exciting and up-and-coming players come from the countries where we will be presenting Wimbledon. Our philosophy when presenting tennis has taken us closer to the players and those around them. We will be bringing our unmatched tennis expertise and world-class production to the tournament this year to scale live and on-demand coverage to millions of fans.

"On top of this, we are looking forward to continuing our Grand Slam storytelling and will serve the best localised content to our audiences all over Europe via Eurosport.com as part of a 360-degree tennis experience."

WBDS will also show the qualifying tournament starting on Monday 20 June, live and exclusively on discovery+* and Eurosport App.
