Mike Bryan and Jack Sock were the reigning champions, but Sock did not participate due to injury. Mike Bryan partnered his brother Bob, but lost in the third round to Mahut and Roger-Vasselin.

This was the first Wimbledon where a final set tie break rule was introduced. Upon reaching 12–12 in the fifth set, a classic tie break would be played. Henri Kontinen and John Peers won the first final set tie break played in any match in Wimbledon history, defeating Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury in the third round.

This was the sixth consecutive major where the men's doubles event was won by a pair of players from the same nation.
