All good things must come to an end. The sun begins to set on Wimbledon 2026 as the women’s champion is crowned on the penultimate day of the grass court Grand Slam.

A fortnight of captivating competition on the lawns of the All England Club has seen 128 players cut down to just two, who will battle it out over three sets to write their name on the honours board.

Wimbledon’s Saturday showpiece can be one-sided, Iga Swiatek beat Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0 last year to taste her first SW19 triumph, but they are rarely predictable.

Indeed, the eight finals since Serena Williams claimed her seventh title in 2016 have thrown up eight different winners.

Radio Times brings you all the details about how to watch the Wimbledon women’s final in 2026.
