What was the date range of the 2026 Wimbledon main tournament?
Answer
29 June–12 July 2026
The 2026 Wimbledon main tournament ran from 29 June to 12 July 2026. Those dates cover the Championships’ main draw, when the singles and doubles events were contested at the All England Club.
The tournament began on a Monday and concluded on a Sunday, following Wimbledon’s modern 14-day schedule. The main draw is distinct from qualifying, which takes place before the Championships and is staged at the Community Sport Centre in Roehampton. Qualifying determines some of the additional players who enter the main competition.
Wimbledon is the third Grand Slam tournament of the tennis season, following the Australian Open and French Open and preceding the US Open. Its late-June-to-mid-July position is closely tied to the traditional European grass-court calendar.
The date range is sometimes confused with the 2025 Championships, which ran from 30 June to 13 July, or with individual final dates. In 2026, the ladies’ singles final was scheduled for 11 July, while the gentlemen’s singles final completed the tournament on 12 July.
