Wimbledon 2026 begins in
The 2026 Championships, Wimbledon, is the year's third Grand Slam and the only major still played on grass. It runs from 29 June to 12 July 2026 at the All England Club in London.
Wimbledon's traditions — all-white dress code, strawberries and cream, and royal box — sit alongside the sport's most prestigious singles titles. Here are the dates, format, recent champions, and viewing details.
📋 Format & how it works
Singles draws
Both the men's and women's singles are 128-player single-elimination draws, played best-of-five sets (men) and best-of-three sets (women) over two weeks, culminating in the finals on the second weekend.
Grass-court tennis
Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam contested on grass — a fast, low-bouncing surface that rewards big serving and quick net play. A final-set tie-break at 6–6 is used to decide marathon matches.
All-white tradition
Players must wear almost entirely white attire, one of the sport's most distinctive customs, maintained by the All England Club for over a century.
