Wimbledon goes greener this month.

Will it be enough to satisfy players, who want a bigger piece of Grand Slam revenues?

The All England Lawn Tennis Club today announced a record prize money of £64.2 million, which is about $85.6 million for The Championships 2026. 

The £10.7 million increase from 2025 prize money represents “a significant 20% increase, and by far the biggest annual increase in the history of the event,” tournament organizers said in a statement.

The ladies’ and gentlemen’s singles champions will earn £3.6 million, which is about $4.83 million (up 20%) and singles finalists will take home £1.8 million, which is about $2.4 million (up 18%).  

First round singles prize money is set at £80,000 ($106, 726, which is 21% increase), while total prize money on offer at the Qualifying Competition is £6.2 million (25% increase). 

The ladies’, gentlemen’s and mixed doubles events have each received a 10% raise, while the total prize money for wheelchair and quad wheelchair singles and doubles events has risen by 20%. 

 “I am delighted to announce a total prize money fund of £64.2 million for The Championships 2026, a very significant increase of 20% from £53.5 million last year,” All England Lawn Tennis Club Chair Deborah Jevans said in a statement. “This announcement recognizes the success of The Championships, and that we operate a sustainable program that allows us not only to increase prize money, but also to invest in facilities, the grass court season and support British and international tennis. 

“We are clear that as Wimbledon grows, the players will continue to share in that success.”
