Williams Sisters Play Wimbledon
Wimbledon 2026: Serena and Venus Williams Play Doubles Saturday, Find Out How to Watch
Serena and Venus Williams are returning to Wimbledon on Saturday, July 4, for a doubles match starting at 11:30 a.m. ET, according to Yahoo Sports. The sisters will face Camila Osorio and Solana Sierra in what marks a much-anticipated comeback to the Grand Slam stage.
The match is a rare Saturday scheduling move that breaks from the usual Wimbledon routine, Yahoo Sports notes. Fans across the US, UK, and Australia have several ways to catch the action live.
Williams Sisters Face Osorio and Sierra on Grass
Serena and Venus Williams will step onto the Wimbledon grass together for the first time in years. Their opponents are Camila Osorio and Solana Sierra, a South American doubles pairing. The match tips off at 11:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, July 4, according to Yahoo Sports.
The Saturday slot is unusual for Wimbledon, which typically reserves its biggest draws for later in the week. The Williams sisters' presence alone makes this one of the most-watched matches of the tournament's early rounds.
How to Watch in the US on ESPN
ESPN will broadcast the match live in the United States. Viewers can also stream every Wimbledon match this year through an ESPN Unlimited subscription, Yahoo Sports reports. This gives fans full access to all courts, not just the featured matches.
If you do not have ESPN or ESPN+, other streaming options are available. Yahoo Sports notes that several services carry ESPN as part of their live TV packages, including popular options like Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV.
Free Streams Available in the UK and Australia
Fans in the UK can watch most of Wimbledon for free on BBC iPlayer, according to Yahoo Sports. The BBC has long held broadcast rights to the tournament, making it one of the most accessible major sporting events in Britain.
In Australia, most matches will stream free with ads on 9Now, Yahoo Sports reports. That means viewers in both countries can catch the Williams sisters without paying for a subscription, as long as they have a stable internet connection.
A Historic Return for the Williams Sisters
Serena Williams retired from singles tennis in 2022. Venus has stepped back from the tour in recent years due to injury. Their return together at Wimbledon is being treated as a major event, drawing global attention to the doubles draw, per Yahoo Sports.
Wimbledon has been a defining stage for both sisters. Serena has won seven singles titles there. Venus has claimed five. Playing doubles together on the same grass courts where they built their legacies adds significant weight to Saturday's match.
