Wimbledon 2026 dates are now fixed, with the main tournament set to begin on Monday 29th June and run into July. The four-day Wimbledon qualifiers open first, giving players a clear route into the first round and fans a timetable they can plan around.
Jannik Sinner and Elena Rybakina
Jannik Sinner and Elena Rybakina are among the top-ranking players expected to take to the courts once Wimbledon 2026 gets under way. The tournament starts with the first round and continues through to the finals, so the opening week will decide who stays on course for the closing stages into July.
The qualifiers begin on Monday 22nd June and finish on Thursday 25th June. That four-day window sits directly before the main draw, which means the schedule is set in a clean sequence: qualifying, first round, then the rest of the two-week event.
BBC1 and BBC2 coverage
Coverage for Wimbledon 2026 will take place on BBC1, BBC2 and their streaming platforms. That gives viewers a fixed broadcast plan from the qualifiers through to the final, with the timetable landing before the grass-court swing reaches its peak.
World Cup 2026 football fever is said to be taking over much of the world right now, yet excitement is still building for Wimbledon 2026. The tennis schedule lands in a crowded summer window, but the Monday 29th June start and the Monday 22nd June qualifiers give the tournament a clear place in the calendar.
Toby Anstis is also named in the wider Wimbledon 2026 coverage, but the key detail for readers is the schedule itself: qualifiers first, then the main event, then the final into July. The article does not provide the detailed day-by-day match schedule in the text shown.
