Format overview for Wimbledon 2026:

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 โ€” a fast, low-bouncing surface that rewards big serving and quick net play. A final-set tie-break at 6โ€“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.
