It extends the company’s partnership with Wimbledon Broadcast Services as the broadcast technical services provider

NEP Europe has revealed its work on Wimbledon 2026, while also announcing a new multi-year agreement with Wimbledon Broadcast Services (WBS) to continue as the broadcast technical services provider for future Championships.
NEP Europe says, together with WBS, they will continue to evolve the host broadcast operation through expanded IP-based production, streamlined workflows and enhanced orchestration with NEP’s TFC broadcast control system.
“What makes this relationship successful is a shared commitment to continually improving how The Championships is delivered,” said Ed Tischler, managing director, NEP UK. “Working alongside WBS, we’ve evolved the host broadcast operation by finding smarter ways to work, embracing new technologies and giving both teams greater flexibility to innovate. This new agreement reflects the trust we’ve built together and, most importantly, the commitment of our people who continue to push the operation forward every year.”
“Our focus is always on delivering the highest-quality coverage of The Championships for rightsholders around the world while continuing to evolve how the event is produced,” adds Paul Davies, associate director of broadcast, production, and media rights at The All England Lawn Tennis Club. “NEP has worked in close collaboration with our team to refine workflows, adopt new technologies and continually improve our production approach. That shared commitment to innovation has strengthened the host broadcast operation and provides a strong foundation as we continue to enhance coverage of The Championships in the years ahead.”
For Wimbledon 2026, NEP Europe utilised two IP-powered UHD HDR outside broadcast units, a large-scale IP flypack serving 11 production galleries and seven automated courts, and an integrated workflow featuring more than 150 cameras, 32 EVS replay servers, NEP’s MediaBank media asset management solution, graphics, quality control and new video review capabilities.
More than 350 engineering, operational and commercial specialists from NEP are supporting the delivery of The Championships, along with the Qualifying Competition at Roehampton.
NEP’s AI-powered Tr-ACE robotic camera system is providing automated capture across Courts 4–7 and 9–11, while enabling a single operator to manage complete on-court coverage.
For the first time, Centre Court and No.1 Court also feature NEP’s Nucleus camera system, delivering ultra-high-quality 4K super slow-motion images.
Creative Technology (CT), NEP Group’s live events solutions division, also has 74 LED displays installed across Wimbledon, including the iconic Henman Hill. CT also manages live content production for public viewing areas.
