The answer to how much does the winner of Wimbledon get in 2026 is straightforward: the women's and men's singles champions will each earn £3.6 million.
That figure sits at the top of a record £64.2 million total purse, underlining just how far the prize money has risen at Wimbledon, the most prestigious Grand Slam event. For comparison, the 2025 total purse was £53.5 million, while the singles winners received £3 million.
What the top prizes look like
Wimbledon has confirmed that the singles champions will receive £3.6 million apiece in 2026, making it the biggest amount ever awarded at the tournament. The scale of the increase is significant, both for the winners and for the players chasing the later rounds.
The runner-up prizes also reflect that wider rise. The losing singles finalists will receive £1.88 million, while the semi-finalists will earn £960,000. Players who reach the quarter-finals will take home £400,000.
What doubles and mixed doubles champions receive
The prize structure is also clear for the other events. The men's and women's doubles champions receive £760,000 per pair, while the mixed doubles winners get £148,000 per pair.
That means the title is not only about prestige. It is also about a major financial reward at every level of the event, from the singles finals down through the doubles draws.
A record purse after Jannik Sinner's 2025 triumph
The announcement comes after Jannik Sinner won his first Wimbledon title in 2025, when the singles winners' prize money stood at £3 million. The jump to £3.6 million in 2026 shows a clear rise in value at the top of the sport's biggest stage.
For players, Wimbledon remains the event that carries the most weight. It is the championship everyone wants to win, and now it is also the tournament offering the richest payout in its history.
