Wimbledon to Replace Line Judges with Technology in 2025

The England Club announces a shift to electronic line calling, ending a 147-year tradition.

Wimbledon will implement electronic line calling (ELC) across all courts, including qualifying matches, starting in 2025.
The move follows successful testing at the 2024 tournament and aligns with similar changes at the Australian and US Opens.
ELC technology is expected to improve officiating accuracy, replacing the need for human line judges.
The French Open will be the only Grand Slam still using human line judges after Wimbledon's transition.
In addition to the technology change, the singles finals will start later at 4 p.m. local time to maximize global viewership.
