EventsWimbledon 2027: tickets, dates, prices and schedule
The Wimbledon tennis tournament, officially known as The Championships, is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. Held every summer at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south-west London, it is the only Grand Slam played on grass.
There are several ways to buy tickets for Wimbledon 2027, depending on your budget and how far ahead you can plan: the Public Ballot, The Queue, the Ground Pass, official ticket resale, debenture tickets and hospitality packages. This guide explains how each option works, along with the tournament dates and practical information for planning your day at Wimbledon.
Wimbledon 2027: the tournament will take place from Monday 28 June to Sunday 11 July 2027 and will mark the 150th anniversary of The Championships. To keep track of the next ticketing stages and Public Ballot updates, check your myWimbledon account and your ticket communication preferences.
Founded in 1877, Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. It is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments alongside the French Open, the US Open and the Australian Open.
Wimbledon 2027 dates and schedule
When is Wimbledon 2027?
Wimbledon 2027 will take place from Monday 28 June to Sunday 11 July 2027, with two weeks and 14 days of competition.

What is the tournament schedule?
The opening days mainly feature the early rounds of the men's and women's singles, doubles and matches across the many courts around the grounds. The quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals are then concentrated in the second week.
Wimbledon also hosts junior and wheelchair competitions, along with other events whose detailed schedules will be confirmed closer to the tournament.
| Period | Main schedule |
|---|---|
| First week | Early rounds of the men's and women's singles, doubles and other events. |
| Start of the second week | Fourth round and quarter-finals. |
| End of the second week | Semi-finals and finals of the main events. |
| Final weekend | Women's and men's singles finals, along with several doubles finals. |
The exact matches, courts and start times are not known several months in advance. The Order of Play is published progressively during the tournament and may still change, particularly because of the weather or the length of matches.
Where can you find the Order of Play, draws and results?
Wimbledon's official schedule and Order of Play show the matches scheduled on each court and their start times. Draws and results are also updated throughout the tournament.
If you want to see a particular player, check the Order of Play the day before or on the day of the match: their exact schedule cannot be guaranteed several days in advance.
How to buy tickets for Wimbledon 2027
Wimbledon ticketing works differently from many other major sporting events. Not all tickets are released at the same time through a single ticket office.
The main options are the Public Ballot, The Queue, official ticket resale, debenture tickets and official hospitality packages.
| Option | Best suited to | In advance? | Guaranteed ticket? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public Ballot | Trying to obtain tickets several months before the tournament | Yes | No, tickets are allocated by ballot |
| The Queue | Trying to buy a ticket on the day | No | No |
| Official resale | Accessing tickets returned during the tournament | No | Subject to availability |
| Debenture tickets | Securing a guaranteed premium seat | Yes | Yes |
| Official hospitality | Combining a ticket with premium services | Yes | Depends on the package booked |
The Wimbledon 2027 Public Ballot
The Wimbledon Public Ballot is one of the main ways to obtain tickets several months before the tournament. It is a ballot, so entering does not guarantee that you will receive tickets.
To receive information about the 2027 Public Ballot and upcoming ticketing stages, you need a myWimbledon account and should enable ticket-related communications in your preferences.
The Public Ballot does not operate on a first-come, first-served basis. When tickets are allocated, you cannot choose a specific day or court in advance.
Being unsuccessful in the Public Ballot does not necessarily mean that every opportunity to buy tickets in advance has passed. Tickets may be returned or offered at a later stage, subject to availability and the arrangements set by Wimbledon.
Beware of unauthorised resale websites. With certain exceptions, including debenture tickets, Wimbledon tickets are subject to strict rules governing their transfer and resale. A ticket purchased from an unauthorised seller may be invalidated.
The Public Ballot is itself part of the tournament's history: Wimbledon has used this ticket allocation system since 1924.
The Queue: buying a ticket on the day
The Queue is one of Wimbledon's distinctive traditions. A proportion of tickets are reserved for sale on the day to spectators who join the organised queue near the All England Club.
Depending on availability, you may be able to obtain tickets for certain show courts or a Ground Pass. The exact arrangements for The Queue in 2027 should be checked before your visit.
If you are hoping for a show court ticket, plan to arrive very early. On the busiest days, some spectators even join The Queue the day before.
Joining The Queue never guarantees a ticket. Availability depends on the day and the number of spectators already waiting.
For many regular visitors, The Queue is part of the Wimbledon experience, just like the grass courts, white clothing and strawberries and cream.
Official ticket resale
Wimbledon also operates an official ticket resale system during the tournament. When spectators leave the grounds for the day, some show court seats may be made available again.
These tickets allow visitors who are already inside the grounds to access a court for the remainder of the day's play, subject to availability.
The arrangements and prices for Wimbledon 2027 should be checked closer to the tournament.
Debenture tickets
Debenture tickets are a separate category. Linked to debentures issued by the All England Club, they provide access to premium seats on the main courts.
They differ from most standard Wimbledon tickets in one important respect: tickets attached to debentures can legally be transferred or resold. They therefore provide one way to secure a guaranteed seat on the secondary market without using an unauthorised resale channel.
This flexibility comes at a price: debenture tickets are generally among the most expensive ways to attend Wimbledon.
Hospitality packages
Official hospitality packages combine a match ticket with additional services such as dining, reserved areas or other benefits depending on the package selected.
They cost considerably more than a standard ticket, but allow you to book a complete Wimbledon experience well in advance.
Which Wimbledon ticket should you choose?
The right option depends mainly on what you want to see, your budget and how you want to experience the tournament.
| You want to... | Suitable option | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| See the biggest matches and finals | Centre Court | The main court hosts major matches and the singles finals. |
| See major matches with a reserved seat | No. 1 Court | Many seeded players and important matches are scheduled here. |
| Experience Wimbledon on a more limited budget | Ground Pass | Access to the outside courts, The Hill and accessible areas of the grounds. |
| Secure a premium seat | Debenture ticket | A much more expensive option, but with a reserved seat. |
Centre Court
Centre Court is Wimbledon's main court. The biggest names play there throughout the fortnight, and it hosts the women's and men's singles finals.
These are also the most sought-after seats at the tournament.
Centre Court has had a retractable roof since 2009, allowing play to continue when rain interrupts matches on the uncovered courts.
No. 1 Court
No. 1 Court also hosts seeded players and major matches, particularly during the later stages of the tournament. It has a retractable roof too.
The outside courts
The outside courts are particularly rewarding during the early rounds, when top players can be scheduled just a few metres from spectators.
With a Ground Pass, you can move from court to court rather than spending the entire day in one stadium. For a first visit, it is a good way to experience the distinctive atmosphere of Wimbledon.
Wimbledon 2027 ticket prices
Wimbledon ticket prices vary according to the court, day and method of purchase. A Centre Court ticket for a final naturally costs considerably more than a Ground Pass during the opening days.
Wimbledon 2027 ticket prices: the official 2027 ticket price list is not yet available. Prices by court and day will be added to this guide once they are published by Wimbledon.
Prices from a previous edition can provide a rough indication, but they should not be treated as the final prices for Wimbledon 2027.
What is a Ground Pass?
A Ground Pass gives you access to the Wimbledon grounds without a reserved seat on Centre Court or No. 1 Court. It allows you to enjoy the outside courts and much of the tournament atmosphere.
With a Ground Pass, you can:
- move around the accessible areas of the grounds;
- watch matches on the outside courts, subject to available space;
- follow major matches on the big screen at The Hill;
- visit the shops, restaurants and other areas around the grounds.
Can you enjoy Wimbledon without a Centre Court ticket?
Yes. During the first week in particular, a Ground Pass can allow you to see several matches in one day and experience much of the tournament atmosphere.
How to watch Wimbledon on TV and online
Wimbledon is broadcast in many countries, but TV and streaming rights vary by market.
Broadcasters for the 2027 tournament will be listed here once they have been confirmed. During the tournament, the official Wimbledon website also provides scores, draws, results and the Order of Play.
Can you watch Wimbledon for free?
It depends on the country you are in. Some broadcasters show all or part of the tournament for free, while others require a subscription to a sports channel or streaming platform.
Check the official broadcaster for your country closer to the tournament.
What is the Wimbledon prize money?
Wimbledon prize money is distributed to players according to how far they progress in the various competitions.
Wimbledon 2027 prize money: it has not yet been announced. The figures will be added to this page once they are officially published.
How much does the Wimbledon winner receive?
In 2026, Wimbledon awarded total prize money of £64.2 million. The men's singles champion and women's singles champion each received £3.6 million.
| Prize money | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Total prize money | £64.2 million | To be confirmed |
| Men's singles champion | £3.6 million | To be confirmed |
| Women's singles champion | £3.6 million | To be confirmed |
Prize money is not limited to the champions: payments vary according to the round reached and the event played, including qualifying.
Practical information for attending Wimbledon
The tournament takes place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, south-west London. The surrounding area is extremely busy on tournament days, so allow enough time for your journey and security checks at the entrance.
Where is Wimbledon held?
Address:
All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club
Church Road
London SW19 5AE
United Kingdom
Wimbledon has been played at the Church Road site since 1922. Centre Court, No. 1 Court and the outside courts are all located within the same grounds.
How to get to Wimbledon
Public transport is generally the easiest way to reach the tournament.
| Transport | What to know |
|---|---|
| Underground | Southfields station on the District line, followed by a walk of around 15 minutes. |
| Train | Wimbledon station, followed by a bus connection or a walk depending on your route. |
| Bus | Several services run to the area around the All England Club. |
| Taxi or ride-hailing service | Possible, but traffic can be very heavy around the tournament. |
From central London, public transport is generally more convenient than driving. Allow extra time for security checks when planning your journey.
What can you bring into Wimbledon?
Visitors may bring certain personal belongings, food and drinks within the limits set by the tournament rules.
Rules covering bags, containers, cameras and prohibited items can change. Check Wimbledon's official safety and security information before your visit rather than relying on the rules from a previous tournament.
Can you bring your own food?
Wimbledon generally allows spectators to bring their own food and certain drinks, subject to the limits set by the tournament rules.
Cafés, restaurants and food stands are also available throughout the grounds.
Strawberries and cream remain one of Wimbledon's best-known culinary traditions.
How long should you spend at Wimbledon?
For a first visit, plan to spend ideally a full day at Wimbledon. Even with a reserved seat, the experience is not limited to the match on your court: the outside courts, The Hill, shops and different areas of the grounds are all part of the day.
Accessibility
Facilities are available for disabled visitors, including accessible routes, dedicated seating and various assistance services.
If you have specific access requirements, check Wimbledon's official accessibility information before booking to confirm the arrangements available for the relevant tournament.
Where to stay during Wimbledon
Accommodation close to the tournament can become expensive or sell out well before June. If your dates are fixed, it is worth booking before the final few weeks.
Staying near the All England Club
Wimbledon, Southfields and Wimbledon Village are the most convenient areas if you want to stay close to the tournament. Being able to walk back after a long day can be a real advantage.
Staying in central London
Central London is often more convenient if Wimbledon is only one day of your trip. There is a much wider choice of accommodation, while the tournament remains accessible by Underground or train.
Compare accommodation as soon as you know your dates: options around Wimbledon and Southfields become more limited as the tournament approaches.
Wimbledon history and traditions
The first Wimbledon tournament was held in 1877, making it the oldest tennis tournament in the world. In 2027, The Championships will celebrate its 150th anniversary.
Wimbledon is also the only one of the four Grand Slam tournaments played on grass. The surface, the players' white clothing and the setting of the All England Club all contribute strongly to the tournament's identity.

- strawberries and cream;
- The Queue, the famous line for same-day tickets;
- the grass courts;
- the regular attendance of members of the British Royal Family.
