Wimbledon livestream: where to watch the tournament
In short
Broadcast rights for Wimbledon in Belgium sit with Eurosport (Warner Bros. Discovery), with streaming via Max or discovery+, a paid subscription through 2027. Sporza (VRT) does not air the tournament live, RTBF offers French-language coverage. Napoleon Sports itself does not broadcast video, but shows a live scoreboard for both draws.
Who broadcasts Wimbledon in Belgium
Broadcast rights for Wimbledon in Belgium sit, just like Roland Garros, with Eurosport, part of Warner Bros. Discovery. That contract runs through 2027. Wimbledon is therefore not free to watch in Belgium via the public broadcaster: Sporza (VRT) does publish news articles and results about the tournament, but holds no rights to air the matches themselves live. Don't confuse Sporza's news coverage with a livestream or TV broadcast: an article about a match result is not a broadcast right to that match itself.
Good to know: a Sporza news piece about a result is not a broadcast right. That makes Wimbledon comparable to Roland Garros, but different from Cincinnati (Play Sports) or the US Open (where Sporza does carry the live broadcast).
This rights split occasionally shifts from tournament to tournament and year to year, so it's worth checking again each time rather than assuming it's the same as last year.
Eurosport and Max: TV and livestream
Eurosport broadcasts Wimbledon on its linear TV channels, with streaming via Max (formerly HBO Max) or, in some cases, discovery+. Access to these livestreams usually requires a paid subscription. The exact platform lineup and pricing can change from year to year, so check the current terms directly with Eurosport or Max right before the tournament.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Channel | Eurosport (linear TV) |
| Streaming | Max (formerly HBO Max) or discovery+ |
| Access | Paid subscription required |
Alongside full live coverage, Eurosport usually also offers highlights and recaps of the biggest matches, often available through its own website or app, sometimes even without logging in. That's a handy option if you missed a match, especially for the often long men's matches on Centre Court, which at best-of-5 sets can easily run three to four hours.
Since Wimbledon is broadcast worldwide through many different channels and platforms, with coverage varying by country, it's worth checking your own TV or internet package first for existing Eurosport access before signing up for a new subscription. Some providers in Belgium include Eurosport channels by default in their digital TV package, others don't, and that varies by operator.
Roughly what a Eurosport or Max subscription costs
The exact price of a Max or Eurosport subscription changes regularly and depends on whether you go for a standalone subscription, a bundle through your TV provider, or a short-term subscription just for the duration of the tournament.
Rule of thumb
Expect a monthly fee in the range of an average streaming subscription, sometimes with a better-value annual rate if you plan to follow the whole tennis season. Because amounts can change, no fixed figure is quoted here.
Check current prices directly on the Eurosport or Max website before signing up, and also check whether you already have access at no extra cost through your own internet or TV provider.
Wimbledon versus the other Grand Slams: broadcasting in Belgium
It helps Belgian tennis fans to know that not every major tournament airs on the same channel.
| Tournament | Channel in Belgium |
|---|---|
| US Open | Eurosport, paid |
| Roland Garros | Eurosport, paid; partly free via RTBF (French-language) |
| Wimbledon | Eurosport, paid |
| Cincinnati (ATP Masters 1000) | Play Sports (Telenet), paid |
In practice, that means anyone wanting to follow the whole tennis year could end up juggling several subscriptions or packages, depending on which tournament is running. So check again for each tournament which channel holds the rights, rather than assuming it stays the same.
Following Wimbledon on mobile, tablet or smart TV
Beyond the classic TV broadcast, Wimbledon is also available through Eurosport and Max on mobile, tablet and smart TV, via their respective apps. That makes it easier to follow a match on the go, or to switch from your TV to a second screen during a long men's match. The exact apps and platforms that work can vary by provider and by year, so check this in advance if you want to watch on a specific device.
Some internet and TV providers in Belgium offer their own app that includes Eurosport channels, which adds extra convenience. Other viewers deliberately choose a standalone Max or Eurosport subscription, precisely to stay independent of their TV provider.
RTBF for French-speaking viewers
RTBF: French-speaking viewers in Belgium can also turn to RTBF, the Walloon public broadcaster, for news and analysis on Wimbledon. That's not a substitute for Eurosport's full live coverage, but it can be a useful addition if you also want to follow French-language reporting.
Following it live at Napoleon Sports: scores, not video
Good to know: Napoleon Sports itself does not broadcast any live video footage of Wimbledon. What you'll find here is a live scoreboard for both draws, updated continuously while the match is underway, including the set score and the latest point-by-point action. That makes the live tennis page a handy tool alongside Eurosport's coverage, not a replacement for it: you can follow the match on screen while keeping the scoreboard open for extra context.
If you want to bet on Wimbledon, you'll find the offering on the ATP betting page and WTA betting page for Wimbledon. Find more on how tennis betting works in the tennis betting guide.
