In the past 10 years the average number of writers and international radio reporters attending The Championships has been 800, drawn from 50 countries. Of these, almost 200 have full access to the Press Box and a further 150 or so have limited access.

The remainder have full or day Rover passes which allow them to use the reserved press accommodation on the Show Courts and a variety of facilities, including a restaurant in the press area. On any given day the average number of press attending is 450.

The British press corps totals between 350–400, the figure is often dependent on other major sporting events taking place at the same time as The Championships. For example, in 2004, when football's European Championships were being staged at the same time as Wimbledon, 365 British press were accredited; in 2002 when the World Cup coincided with The Championships, 395 British journalists were accredited.

Most National newspapers and press agencies have up to 12 journalists attending — sport, features and news — and many journalists from provincial publications attend, particularly if a British player is local to them.

The next two countries with the largest representation are the United States and France, which average 40–70 correspondents each year, followed by Japan, Germany and Switzerland who all have between 20–39 representatives amongst the press. Countries who have between 10–19 press include Australia, India, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Belgium and Croatia. In 2004 China was represented by eight publications.

In the year 2005, 775 journalists were accredited from 45 countries while 215 photographers’ passes were issued from 107 international publications or agencies. The number of press attending The Championships from a foreign country is usually reflected by the number of players from that particular country competing.
