The figure smashes the stream record set in 2021 when 30.5 million tuned in on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport online.
Barbara Slater, director of BBC Sport said: “We are enormously proud to bring extensive coverage of Wimbledon to our audiences, who this year have devoured every moment across all our platforms with these record-breaking figures.”
“It’s been another electrifying Championship and we are delighted that we can offer audiences different ways to follow the action and to meet the ever-increasing appetite for on-demand viewing.”
According to BBC, this year’s match between Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios also amassed a peak audience share of 43 per cent.
The women’s final between Elena Rybakina and Ons Jabeur managed a peak of 3.1 million on BBC One, in addition to being streamed 712,000 times.
