Wimbledon 2026 takes place at the All England Lawn Tennis Club from 29 Monday June and builds towards the finals weekend two weeks later.

The Women's (traditionally called Ladies') single's final takes place on Saturday 11 July.

And the Men's (Gentlemen's) final is up for grabs the following day.

Also, if you are a footy fan, two of the World Cup quarter finals are on these days too, so it's going to be a bumper weekend of sport.

The Wimbledon singles trophies (won in 2025 by Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek) are two of the most prestigious pieces of silverware in sport

Men's singles, Women's singles, Men's doubles, Women's doubles, Mixed doubles and wheelchair events.

Not only do each of the winners receive a replica of the shiny Wimbledon trophies, they also win a share of the £64.2 million prize pot.

Each of the singles champions will take home £3.6 million each.

There are also junior titles for players between the ages of 14 and 18.

The GOAT was seen back training at the All England Club this week.

On the men's side of the draw, reigning champion Jannik Sinner, from Italy, is returning to defend his crown.

However, his main rival and two-time winner Carlos Alcaraz won't be back on the grass courts of SW19 (Wimbledon's famous postcode).

On the women's side, the draw is wide open and very exciting with the return of the G.O.A.T Serena Williams, who will be playing her first professional singles match in four years.

But, she is almost 20 years older than the reigning champion Iga Swiatek, who is 25, and 17 years older than 28-year-old world number one Aryna Sabalenka.

And, let's not forget Britain's Emma Raducanu, she won't play at Wimbledon this year. She withdrew from the tournament, the day before it started, because of a stress fracture in her lower right leg.

The Wimbledon Championships are the oldest tennis tournament in the world having started in 1877.

It is one of the four Grand Slams along with the French, US and Australian Opens.

But it's the tradition and spectacle of Wimbledon that excites audiences all over the world.

Around half a million spectators visit the tournament each year making it one of the UK's biggest moments on the sporting calendar.

And many of them come not only for the tennis, but for the strawberries and cream!

Plus, there's always a fun game of "spot-the-celeb" in the crowds and in the famous Centre Court Royal Box.
