The two-week Wimbledon championship culminates this weekend with both the women’s and men’s finals set to decide the titles. The women’s final features an all-Czech showdown between two lower-seeded players: No. 10 Karolina Muchova faces her compatriot, No. 9 Linda Noskova. In the men’s draw, the defending champion and top seed Jannik Sinner will meet No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev in a classic title bout.
Television coverage of the finals will be carried from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. The schedule has the women’s final on Saturday, July 11, at 9 a.m. MT/10 a.m. CT, followed by the men’s final on Sunday, July 12, at the same morning start time, closing out the 2026 tournament. An encore presentation of the women’s final will air on ABC at 1 p.m. MT/2 p.m. CT, after the ESPN primary broadcast on ESPN+ and Disney+. The matches will also be streamed via ESPN+, Disney+, and Fubo (which offers a free trial).
This year’s Wimbledon women’s final marks the first time since 2009 that two players from the same country reached the final, with the last matchup of countrywomen occurring when Serena Williams defeated Venus Williams. The field has produced a range of champions in recent years, and the 2026 final continues a tradition of memorable finals at the All England Club.
Key details for the women’s final: No. 10 Karolina Muchova versus No. 9 Linda Noskova, an all-Czech matchup, with ESPN carrying the primary telecast on Saturday and ABC providing an afternoon encore.
