London, UK, Friday 15 July 2022: Back at full capacity for the first time since 2019, The Championships 2022 delivered record digital and streaming audiences alongside strong television audiences worldwide.

A total of 25.5m people watched on BBC television as British No.1 Cameron Norrie reached his first Grand Slam semi-final before losing to the eventual champion Novak Djokovic. The volume of hours consumed by television viewers was also the highest since The Championships 2016, when former British No.1 Andy Murray won his second Wimbledon title. US audiences also reported strong engagement through broadcast partner ESPN, with the Ladies’ Singles Final averaging 1.2m viewers (peaking at 1.7m viewers at the end of the match), while the Gentlemen’s Singles Final averaged 2.2m viewers (peaking at 3.3m viewers in the final games of the match), a 22% increase on last year’s Final.
