It might feel like the tennis calendar moves quickly, but the grass-court season keeps the action coming right after the French Open, culminating in arguably the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, running from June 30 to July 13, 2025.

Some of the biggest names in tennis, including Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Barbora Krejčíková, and Aryna Sabalenka will be heading to the legendary All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, for the next exciting two weeks of tennis.

Here’s your comprehensive guide to Wimbledon 2025, covering everything from how to watch all the action to the impressive £50 million prize money.

Where is Wimbledon taking place?

Wimbledon takes place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London.

The club was founded as the All England Croquet Club on July 23, 1868, but their ground, then in Worple Road, Wimbledon, did not formally open until 1870. Lawn tennis was introduced in 1875, and the first Wimbledon Championships were held in 1877.

The club moved to their current location in Church Road, Wimbledon, in 1922. So, Wimbledon has been at its current location for 103 years.

What is the Wimbledon prize money?

The total prize money for Wimbledon in 2025 has reached a record £50 million for the first time.

Here’s a breakdown of the prize money for some key categories:

• Men’s and Women’s Singles Champions: Each winner will take home a substantial £2.7 million.
• Men’s and Women’s Singles Runners-up: The finalists will each receive £1.4 million.
• Men’s and Women’s Doubles Champions (per pair): The winning doubles teams will earn £650,000.
