The 2026 Wimbledon Championships are set to mark a historic milestone as the 139th edition of the world's most prestigious tennis tournament. Scheduled to run from 29 June to 12 July 2026, the fortnight-long event will once again take centre court at the iconic All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Church Road, SW19, in Wimbledon, London — the spiritual home of the sport and the oldest Grand Slam tournament in the world.

As a Grand Slam event sanctioned by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the 2026 Championships will feature a full draw of 128 players in both the men's and women's singles competitions, alongside 64 doubles pairings and 32 mixed doubles teams. Players will compete on the tournament's signature grass surface, which remains unique among the four Grand Slams and demands a distinct blend of serve-and-volley precision, quick reflexes, and adaptability from competitors at every level.

Tennis fans around the world will be watching closely as the world's top-ranked players descend on SW19 in pursuit of the coveted Wimbledon title. Whether you're planning to attend in person, secure a spot in the famous queue, or watch from home, the 2026 Championships promise two weeks of world-class tennis, iconic traditions, and unforgettable moments on the hallowed grass courts of the All England Club.
