Wimbledon 2026 (The Championships) runs from Monday 29 June to Sunday 12 July 2026 at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in SW19, London. The Ladies' Singles Final is Saturday 11 July; the Gentlemen's Singles Final is Sunday 12 July. Wimbledon 2026 dates are 29 June – 12 July 2026. The fortnight covers two weeks of play including Middle Sunday (5 July, full play day since 2022), Ladies' Final (Saturday 11 July), and Gentlemen's Final (Sunday 12 July). Qualifying takes place the week before at the Bank of England Sports Ground in Roehampton. Centre Court play starts at 13:30 BST. No.1 Court starts at 13:00 BST. All other outside courts start at 11:00 BST. Last entry to the Grounds is 19:00 BST. Curfew for Centre Court (with roof closed) is 23:00 BST — matches must end by then under London council planning rules. Late June to mid-July in London averages 23°C (73°F) highs and 14°C (57°F) lows, with around 7 rainy days across the month. Expect a mix of warm sunny spells, occasional thundery showers, and the rare 30°C+ heatwave day. It is one of London's most reliable weather windows of the year. Climatologically, Wimbledon fortnight sees rain on roughly 1 in 3 days, but showers are usually brief rather than all-day washouts. Centre Court and No.1 Court both have retractable roofs that close in 8–10 minutes, so Finals Weekend matches are weather-proof. Outside courts pause and resume play around showers. Yes. Centre Court has had a retractable roof since 2009, and No.1 Court since 2019. Both close within 10 minutes when rain arrives, with concert-grade ventilation taking another 20–30 minutes to settle conditions for play. All other courts (No.2, No.3, outside courts) are open-air and pause during rain. July in London usually peaks around 25–28°C, but Wimbledon has seen extreme heat (35°C+) in recent years (2018, 2022). The All England Club uses a Heat Stress Rule above ~30.1°C wet bulb globe temperature, allowing 10-minute breaks between sets. Spectators should prepare for full sun on most courts — there is limited shade. Yes. The famous Wimbledon Queue at Wimbledon Park can mean overnight camping or hours of standing outdoors. Rain, heat, and overnight cold (10–12°C) all affect comfort. Bring a waterproof, layers, sunscreen, and a foldable chair. Showers are usually brief — the Queue rarely cancels. Smart-casual works best (no enforced dress code for spectators, but dressy shorts/dresses dominate). Bring layers — mornings start at 14°C, afternoons can hit 28°C, evenings drop again. Always pack a packable waterproof jacket and sun hat. Comfortable shoes are essential — you walk 6–10 km on a typical day at the Grounds. Spectators have no enforced dress code in the Grounds (Members' Enclosure and Royal Box are different). Smart-casual is the norm — sundresses, chinos, polo shirts, blazers. Avoid sportswear, sliders, and overtly branded clothing. Centre Court ticket holders typically dress more formally. Hats are welcome — both for sun and tradition. The closest tube is Southfields (District Line), a flat 15-minute walk to the Grounds. Wimbledon (District + South Western Railway) is a slightly longer 20-minute walk uphill. Free shuttle buses run from Wimbledon station on busy days. Parking is extremely limited; almost everyone arrives by tube or train. The wettest recent Wimbledon was 2007, with rain affecting 8 days of play and several singles matches finishing under floodlights. Since the Centre Court roof opened in 2009, rain has had far less impact on showcourt scheduling — but outside courts still suffer significant delays in wet years. Week 1 (29 June – 5 July) gives best value: lower ticket prices, all 18 courts in play, and chance to see top players close-up on outside courts. Week 2 from Quarter-Finals onwards has the biggest matches but is dramatically more expensive. Middle Sunday (5 July) offers the lowest crowd density. Public ballot tickets range from £55 (Week 1 outside courts) to £315+ (Centre Court Finals). Resale tickets via The Queue cost £15 daily ground pass to £50 for showcourt resale. Hospitality packages start around £700 per person. The Public Ballot for 2026 closes in autumn 2025 — check Wimbledon.com for exact dates. Heatwave Week 2. Peak 35°C on Quarter-Finals day. Heat Stress Rule invoked twice.
Scores are capped by dealbreakers — heavy rain, dangerous wind, thick fog or hazardous UV pull a day down no matter how pleasant the rest of the numbers look.
