Alcaraz vs Djokovic live stream: How to watch Wimbledon men's final tennis online for free

Novak Djokovic of Serbia plays a backhand during a practice session as Coach, Goran Ivanisevic, looks on ahead of The Championships - Wimbledon 2023 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on June 28, 2023 in London, England.

It’s almost time to watch the Alcaraz vs Djokovic live stream to see who takes the 2023 Wimbledon men’s final. The top two seeds meet in a mouth-watering encounter as Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz looks to deny Novak Djokovic winning a record-equalling eighth title at SW19 and 24th Grand Slam single’s title. 

The Serbian has not lost on Centre Court since 2013 and has not been beaten in a completed match at Wimbledon since 2016, but will face a massive test in Sunday’s final. Alcaraz has been able to adapt his game to suit the grass courts at the All England Club and possesses the power, consistency, and deft touch at the net to cause even an all-time great serious problems. The Alcaraz vs Djokovic live stream will start at approximately 9 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. BST.

Wimbledon is airing for FREE in some countries. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on because you can watch Alcaraz vs Djokovic live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Djokovic will be appearing in a record 35th Grand Slam final and has enjoyed a relatively serene path to the second Sunday at Wimbledon. The 36-year-old has lost just two sets along the way and breezed past big-hitting Italian Jannik Sinner 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-4) in the semi-finals. Mentally strong, physically fit, and still absolutely unrelenting, the Serbian is determined to eclipse all records and seems to be enjoying the challenge presented by the game’s rising stars. 

For Alcaraz, it’s his first Wimbledon final and the opportunity to cement his status as the best player in the world. The 20-year-old is the world number one and already has one major title to his name, having won last year’s US Open, but there were doubts before the tournament began as to whether he could excel on grass. Those have been brushed aside in emphatic fashion, especially during his clinical 6-3 6-3 6-3 victory against Russian third seed Daniil Medvedev on Friday. 

Playing in only his fourth professional tournament on grass, Alcaraz is now confident with his footwork and has improved drastically at the net. Combine this with his booming groundstrokes and powerful serve, and he’s looked unstoppable. However, having thrived in the same era as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, there will be little for Djokovic to fear – and you can guarantee he will look to impose his game on the young challenger. 

Make sure to catch all the Wimbledon final action by tuning into the Alcaraz vs Djokovic live stream. Scroll down for details.

How to watch Alcaraz vs Djokovic live streams for FREE in 2023

If you're lucky enough to live in the U.K. then you can look forward to a FREE Alcaraz vs Djokovic live stream in 2023.

That's because the free-to-air BBC and BBC iPlayer has the rights to the action and will be showing wall-to-wall coverage of Wimbledon 2023. 

But what if you're usually based in the U.K. but aren't at home for a particular Wimbledon live stream? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home?

Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.

How to watch 2023 Alcaraz vs Djokovic live streams from anywhere with a VPN

A VPN, or virtual private network, makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

For instance, a Brit who's currently in the U.S. could watch Wimbledon – including the Alcaraz vs Djokovic live stream – on BBC iPlayer, even though they're not in the U.K. 

They're totally legal, inexpensive, and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices, and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer and watch the Alcaraz vs Djokovic live stream.

Tennis fans in the U.S. can catch the Wimbledon live streams, including today's men's final featuring Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, on ESPN or ESPN Plus.

ESPN is available through most cable packages as well as some of the best cable TV alternatives, including Sling TV, Fubo.TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu with Live TV.  

Our pick of these would be Sling TV. The Sling Orange package costs just $40 per month and comes with more than 30 channels including ESPN. Plus, right now Sling is offering new subscribers a $20 discount for the first month

Fubo costs $75 per month for 166 channels and includes ESPN too. It also offers a 7-day free trial.

If you already use those services but aren't in the U.S. right now, you can watch Wimbledon live streams by using a VPN such as ExpressVPN. And if, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money-back guarantee with ExpressVPN.
