Billie Jean King & John McEnroe: Champions in Sport. Champions in Life.

On Sunday 27th June 2027, the day before The Championships, Wimbledon begins, two of the sport’s greatest champions take to the O2's stage for a unique and exciting spoken event quite unlike any other. 

Billie Jean King, the sports icon and equality champion who captured a record 20 Wimbledon championships, and John McEnroe, the man with the most combined singles and doubles titles in the Open Era and the voice of tennis, they didn’t just win - they changed the sport. They’ll share unfiltered stories from the biggest moments of their lives, both on and off the court, from McEnroe’s unforgettable back-to-back Wimbledon finals to King’s iconic “Battle of the Sexes” win over Bobby Riggs. 

At a time when success is often measured only by winning, Billie Jean and John offer a unique perspective. They’ll explore what it means to overcome adversity, handle pressure, learn from failure, break barriers, and keep moving forward when the odds are against you. 

This is a rare opportunity to hear from two Hall of Fame sporting legends, with 56 Grand Slam titles between them. They’ll reflect on the lessons they’ve learned from a lifetime spent competing at the highest level.
