Wimbledon, the world’s oldest, most famous and most prestigious tennis tournament, kicks off on July 3 in London.
Last year, more than 500,000 people attended Wimbledon—the most in history—and 7.5 million viewers tuned in during the Men’s Singles Final. US viewers can watch online via ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN+ and The Tennis Channel this year. Sling TV Orange, Fubo, and DirectTV Stream offer both, while Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV have ESPN. In general, tennis fans watch on every possible screen, but studies have shown they are 42% more likely to respond after seeing a commercial on cable TV and 37% more likely after an ad was served on a streaming app.
Tennis fans have some specific traits that can appeal to certain advertisers. For instance, 80% of tennis fans are college-educated, have an average household income of over $120K, and spend on average 17.9 hours watching cable TV per week and 11.7 hours per week on the Internet. Wimbledon’s wealthier audience is 3.3X more likely to have an affinity for Ralph Lauren, 4.4X more likely to have an affinity for Stella Artois and 4.3X more likely to have an affinity for Jaguar than the sports fans’ audience.
