EventsWimbledon 2027: tickets, dates, prices and schedule
The Wimbledon Championships, 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: the Public Ballot, The Queue, a Grounds Pass, returned tickets, the official on-site resale scheme, debenture tickets and hospitality packages. Each works differently, and some require you to plan several months ahead.
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. The 2027 Public Ballot is now closed: applications were open from 1 to 14 September 2026. Wimbledon will begin contacting successful applicants from October 2026.
First held 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.
What are the dates for Wimbledon 2027?
Wimbledon 2027 will take place from Monday 28 June to Sunday 11 July 2027, with two weeks and 14 days of competition.
The qualifying competition will take place before the main draw at the Wimbledon Qualifying and Community Sports Centre in Roehampton, rather than at the main Church Road site. The exact dates and ticketing arrangements for the 2027 qualifying competition will be added once they have been officially announced.

What is the Wimbledon 2027 schedule?
The detailed Wimbledon 2027 schedule has not yet been published. The opening days of the tournament are mainly devoted to the early rounds of the men's and women's singles, as well as doubles and other competitions. The quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals then take place progressively during the second week.
| Period | Main schedule |
|---|---|
| First week | Early rounds of the men's and women's singles, doubles and other events. |
| Beginning of the second week | End of the 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, as well as several doubles finals. |
Wimbledon also hosts junior competitions, wheelchair tennis and other events. Their 2027 schedules will be confirmed closer to the tournament.
Want to see a particular player? It is impossible to know several months in advance which day and court they will play on. The Order of Play is published progressively during the tournament.
Where can I find the Order of Play and results?
The official Wimbledon schedule and Order of Play show the matches scheduled on each court. Draws and results are also updated throughout the tournament.
How can I buy tickets for Wimbledon 2027?
Wimbledon ticketing works differently from many other major sporting events: there is no single general sale covering all available tickets.
The main options are the Public Ballot, returned tickets, The Queue, the official on-site resale scheme, debenture tickets and official hospitality packages.
| Option | When? | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Public Ballot | Several months before the tournament | Random ballot. Applications for 2027 are now closed. |
| Returns shop | Before the tournament | Returned tickets offered to unsuccessful Public Ballot applicants. |
| The Queue | On the day | A limited number of tickets are available, with no guarantee of getting one. |
| Official on-site resale | During the tournament | Seats returned by spectators who have left the grounds. |
| Debenture tickets | In advance | Premium tickets that can legally be resold. |
| Official hospitality | In advance | A match ticket combined with premium hospitality services. |
The Wimbledon 2027 Public Ballot
The Wimbledon 2027 Public Ballot was open from 1 to 14 September 2026 at 11:59 pm BST. Applications are now closed.
The system is a random ballot rather than first come, first served, so applying on the first day did not increase your chances of receiving tickets. Only one application was permitted per person and per household, using one myWimbledon account and one email address.
Applicants cannot request a specific day, court or seat. Tickets are allocated automatically from those available at the time of selection.
When will the Wimbledon 2027 Public Ballot results be announced?
Wimbledon will begin contacting successful applicants by email from October 2026. This does not necessarily mean that all applicants will receive a result on the same day.
What can you do if you don't get tickets through the Public Ballot?
Being unsuccessful in the Public Ballot does not mean you have missed every opportunity to buy tickets. Wimbledon states that unsuccessful applicants will have access to its returns shop, where returned tickets may become available closer to the tournament.
Availability will depend on the number of tickets returned, so keep an eye on communications linked to your myWimbledon account.
Beware of unauthorised resale websites. With the exception of debenture tickets, Wimbledon tickets are subject to strict transfer and resale restrictions. Tickets offered through unauthorised platforms or sellers may be cancelled.
The Queue: can you buy a Wimbledon ticket on the day?
Yes. The Queue is one of Wimbledon's best-known traditions: some tickets are reserved for sale on the day to spectators who join the organised queue in Wimbledon Park.
In recent editions, The Queue has offered a limited number of tickets for certain Show Courts, as well as Grounds Passes. As the detailed rules for 2027 have not yet been published, ticket allocations, opening times and practical arrangements should be checked before travelling.
If you plan to use The Queue, check Wimbledon's official information shortly before your visit. The rules can change from one edition to another and entry is never guaranteed.
How does the official on-site ticket resale scheme work?
The returns shop available before the tournament and the official resale scheme inside the Wimbledon grounds are two different systems.
During the tournament, when a spectator with a seat on certain courts leaves the grounds for the day, their ticket can be returned and made available again. These seats can then be purchased by visitors already inside the grounds for the remainder of the day.
The courts included, opening times and prices for the Wimbledon 2027 resale scheme should be checked once information specific to the 2027 tournament has been published.
Can you buy Wimbledon tickets on a resale website?
Debenture tickets are an important exception. Linked to debentures issued by the All England Club, they can legally be transferred and resold in accordance with Wimbledon's rules.
They provide premium seats on Centre Court or No.1 Court and are generally much more expensive than standard tickets.
For other ticket categories, avoid unauthorised platforms and sellers: Wimbledon may invalidate tickets that have been resold or transferred outside its permitted channels.
What are Wimbledon hospitality packages?
Official hospitality packages combine a match ticket with additional services, such as dining or access to dedicated hospitality areas, depending on the package selected.
They are considerably more expensive than standard tickets, but allow you to book a complete experience with a guaranteed ticket well in advance.
Which Wimbledon ticket should you choose?
It mainly depends on your priority: watching the biggest matches from a reserved seat or moving between several courts to experience more of the tournament.
| Ticket | Reserved seat? | Main access |
|---|---|---|
| Centre Court | Yes | Centre Court + accessible outside courts |
| No.1 Court | Yes | No.1 Court + accessible outside courts |
| No.2 Court | Yes | No.2 Court + accessible outside courts |
| No.3 Court | Yes | No.3 Court + other accessible outside courts |
| Grounds Pass | No | No.3 Court and outside courts, subject to capacity, plus accessible areas around the grounds |
Centre Court
Centre Court is Wimbledon's main court. The biggest names play here throughout the fortnight, and it hosts the women's and men's singles finals.
It has a retractable roof, allowing play to continue when rain stops matches on uncovered courts.
No.1 Court
No.1 Court also hosts many top seeds and important matches, particularly during the later stages of the tournament. It also has a retractable roof.
No.2 Court and No.3 Court
No.2 Court and No.3 Court are also among the Show Courts for which reserved seats may be available. A ticket for either court also provides access to the general areas and accessible outside courts.
No.3 Court has an additional advantage: it is also accessible to Grounds Pass holders, without a reserved seat and subject to capacity.
The outside courts
The outside courts are particularly interesting during the early rounds, when many matches are taking place simultaneously and highly ranked players can sometimes be seen from just a few metres away.
With a Grounds Pass, you can move between these courts rather than spending the whole day in the same stadium. For a first visit, this is often one of the best ways to experience the atmosphere of Wimbledon.
How much do Wimbledon 2027 tickets cost?
The price of Wimbledon tickets depends on the court, the day and the ticket category. Prices generally increase for the main courts and as the tournament progresses towards the finals.
Wimbledon 2027 ticket prices: the official 2027 price list has not yet been published. Prices for Centre Court, No.1 Court, No.2 Court, No.3 Court and the Grounds Pass will be added here once confirmed by Wimbledon.
Prices from previous editions can provide a rough idea of the budget required, but they should not be treated as the final prices for Wimbledon 2027.
What is a Wimbledon Grounds Pass?
A Grounds Pass allows you to enter the Wimbledon grounds without a reserved seat on one of the main Show Courts.
It provides access to No.3 Court and the outside courts, subject to capacity, as well as the general areas of the grounds and the big screen on The Hill.
You can also visit the shops, restaurants and other public areas around the grounds.
Can you enjoy Wimbledon without a Centre Court ticket?
Yes. Particularly during the opening days, a Grounds Pass allows you to watch several matches in one day and experience a large part of the Wimbledon grounds.
Where do the Wimbledon 2027 qualifying matches take place?
The Wimbledon qualifying competition does not take place at the All England Club on Church Road. It is held at the Wimbledon Qualifying and Community Sports Centre in Roehampton, also in south-west London.
Qualifying takes place before the main tournament and gives successful players the opportunity to earn a place in The Championships.
The dates, opening times and ticketing arrangements for Wimbledon 2027 qualifying have not yet been confirmed and will be added here once officially announced.
How can you 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 added once confirmed. During the tournament, Wimbledon's official 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 offer all or part of the tournament free of charge, while others require a subscription to a sports channel or streaming platform.
Check the broadcasting rights for your country closer to the tournament.
What will the Wimbledon 2027 prize money be?
The Wimbledon 2027 prize money has not yet been announced.
For comparison, Wimbledon distributed £64.2 million in prize money in 2026. The men's and women's singles champions 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 distributed across the different competitions according to the round reached, including during qualifying.
How do you get to Wimbledon?
The tournament takes place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south-west London.
Address:
All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club
Church Road
London SW19 5AE
United Kingdom
Public transport is generally the easiest way to reach the tournament.
| Transport | What to know |
|---|---|
| Underground | Southfields, on the District line, is around a 15-minute walk from the grounds. |
| Train | Wimbledon station is served by National Rail, the District line and tram services. Allow around 20 minutes to walk to the grounds. |
| Bus | Bus services operate to the area around the All England Club during the tournament. |
| Taxi or ride-hailing service | Possible, but traffic around Wimbledon can be particularly heavy during the tournament. |
Even if you already have a ticket, allow extra time before the start of play: public transport and security checks can take longer on the busiest days.
What can you bring to Wimbledon?
Visitors can bring certain personal belongings, food and drinks into the grounds within the limits set by Wimbledon's regulations.
Rules covering bags, containers, cameras and prohibited items can change. Check the official Wimbledon safety and security information before your visit.
Can you bring a picnic to Wimbledon?
Wimbledon generally allows visitors to bring their own food and certain drinks, subject to the restrictions in its regulations. Cafés, restaurants and food stands are also available throughout the grounds.
And if you want to follow tradition, strawberries and cream remain synonymous with Wimbledon.
How long should you spend at Wimbledon?
For a first visit, it is worth allowing a full day. Even with a reserved seat, Wimbledon is about more than the match on your court: the outside courts, The Hill and the different areas around the grounds are all part of the experience.
Is Wimbledon accessible for disabled visitors?
Facilities and services are available for disabled visitors and visitors with accessibility requirements.
If you have specific requirements, check the official Wimbledon accessibility information before booking to find out which facilities are available for the relevant edition.
Where should you stay during Wimbledon?
Accommodation close to the tournament can become expensive or sell out well before the competition begins. If your dates are fixed, it is worth booking early.
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 to your accommodation can be particularly welcome after a full day at Wimbledon.
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 easy to reach by public transport.
What is the history of Wimbledon?
The first Wimbledon Championships were held in 1877, making it the oldest tennis tournament in the world. The 2027 edition will therefore celebrate the 150th anniversary of The Championships.
Wimbledon is also the only one of the four Grand Slam tournaments played on grass. The surface, the players' white clothing, The Queue and strawberries and cream all contribute to the tournament's distinctive identity.
Wimbledon records
| Record | Holder |
|---|---|
| First edition | 1877 |
| Most men's singles titles | Roger Federer (8) |
| Most women's singles titles | Martina Navratilova (9) |
| Longest match | John Isner - Nicolas Mahut (11 hours 5 minutes) |
| Youngest men's singles champion in the Open Era | Boris Becker (17) |
What can you do near Wimbledon?
If you are visiting the area for the tournament, you can also discover:
- the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum, dedicated to the history of the tournament and tennis;
- Wimbledon Village, with its cafés, restaurants and shops;
- Wimbledon Common, for a walk away from the bustle of the tournament.
The Hill, however, is located inside the Wimbledon grounds, so you need a ticket giving you access to the site to visit it during the tournament.
