Wimbledon will use video review technology for the first time at the 2026 tournament.

The All England Club announced Saturday that reviews will be available on Centre Court, No. 1 Court and four other "show courts" at the oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament.

Players will be permitted to review specific calls by the chair umpires, including double bounces. There is no limit to the number of reviews players can request.

The grass-court major begins on June 29 and runs through July 12.

The "show courts" are the No. 2 Court, No. 3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18 for singles competition.

The Australian Open and U.S. Open already implemented video review.

The latest technology does not apply to line calls, as Wimbledon replaced line judges with an electronic line-calling system last summer to determine whether balls were in or out. The venue is adding visual indicators on the scoreboard this year to show "out" and "fault" calls.
