Serena and Venus Williams received a doubles wild-card invitation to compete at Wimbledon, the All England Club announced Tuesday.
The grass-court tournament begins on June 29.
The decision comes on the heels of Serena Williams recently returning to competition following a nearly four-year retirement. She teamed with Victoria Mboko of Canada at the HSBC Championships in London last week, but their tournament ended when Mboko withdrew due to a knee injury in a singles match.
