About Wimbledon
The Championships, Wimbledon — tennis's oldest and most prestigious tournament — return to the All England Lawn Tennis Club in London each summer, running a fortnight to the finals weekend in July on the most famous lawn in sport. The countdown above tracks the days to the first serve of the next Championships; the 2026 edition ran from June 29 to July 12.
Wimbledon has been played since 1877 and remains gloriously itself: the only Grand Slam on grass, a strict all-white dress code for players, strawberries and cream (around 200,000 portions a fortnight), the Royal Box, and the queue — the very British institution where fans camp overnight for on-the-day tickets. Centre Court's retractable roof means play continues whatever the London skies decide.
Champions here join a lineage like no other — from Borg, Navratilova, Federer, Serena and Djokovic to the new generation chasing their first Wimbledon title. The two singles finals close the fortnight on the second weekend, with the trophy and the Venus Rosewater Dish presented on Centre Court.
