What is the world feed in Wimbledon?
Getty ImagesThe world feed is the informal name given to the production offered by Wimbledon Broadcast Services (WBS) each season to broadcasters around the globe. With the grand slam one of the most-watched sporting events around the globe, it has long been centralized in terms of raw footage and coverage.
The WBS had previously handled productions for select broadcast partners before they retained control from the BBC in the UK in 2018, and now produce a selection of singular feeds provided to broadcasters across the United States and around the globe, where they can be individually tailored by the host channel with their own color commentary, to help suit local audience interests.
How to watch 2023 Wimbledon Final on terrestrial television
Getty ImagesYou can watch the 2023 Wimbledon Championships on terrestrial television with ABC. The channel has the rights to broadcast coverage from the grand slam as part of the current deal that includes sister cable channel ESPN, and will do so again this year.
With the draw yet to be finalized for this year’s Wimbledon, it is currently unknown what fixtures will be shown by the broadcaster. However, ABC typically broadcasts from Wimbledon during the middle weekend of the Championships, on Saturday and Sunday.
ABC’s coverage beyond those two days may include further marquee matches on a limited basis, as well as tape-delay highlights packages, but it looks likely that the majority of coverage will be taken by ESPN in 2023.

What are the pros and cons of terrestrial television?
With terrestrial broadcasters delivering free-to-air coverage across the United States, ABC will give casual tennis fans their fix from Wimbledon, ensuring they get to see some big names face off in the midst of the tournament.
But the channel’s overall limited options means those looking for fuller coverage of the Championships are likely to be shortchanged by sticking with just them. In order to get the full Wimbledon experience, customers will likely need to consider other options.
