On what date was the 2026 Wimbledon gentlemen's singles final played?

The 2026 Wimbledon gentlemen’s singles final was played on 12 July 2026. It was the closing singles match of the Championships and took place on Centre Court at the All England Club.

Wimbledon traditionally schedules the gentlemen’s singles final on the final Sunday of the tournament. In 2026, that Sunday fell on 12 July, after the ladies’ singles final on 11 July. The placement reflects the event’s two-week structure and the importance of finishing the premier singles competition on the tournament’s last day.

The word “gentlemen’s” is Wimbledon’s traditional term for the men’s singles event. The match is played over the best of five sets, unlike most regular ATP Tour matches, which are best of three. The winner receives the gentlemen’s singles championship trophy and becomes the latest name added to Wimbledon’s long record of champions.

The date can be confused with 11 July, because that was the day of the ladies’ singles final. It can also be confused with the 2025 men’s final, which was played on 13 July under that year’s calendar.
