The biggest Wimbledon 2026 matches will take place on Centre Court, No. 1 Court and No. 2 Court. Here’s what to expect at each venue.
Centre Court
Centre Court is the most iconic stadium at Wimbledon. It seats 14,979 spectators and will host the tournament’s biggest matches during Wimbledon 2026, including the Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Singles finals.
A retractable roof, installed in 2009, allows play to continue during rain. The grass is also maintained at 8 mm throughout the tournament.
During the first week of Wimbledon 2026, Centre Court will stage three marquee singles matches each day. It will then host the Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Singles semi-finals and finals in the second week.
No. 1 Court
No. 1 Court is the second-largest stadium at Wimbledon and has a capacity of 12,345. It also features a retractable roof, which was added in 2019.
Throughout the opening week of Wimbledon 2026, No. 1 Court will host three high-profile singles matches each day. Many of the tournament’s top seeds are expected to play here.
Later in Wimbledon 2026, the court will host several doubles finals and junior championship matches.
No. 2 Court
No. 2 Court offers a more intimate viewing experience with seating for around 4,000 spectators. Unlike Centre Court and No. 1 Court, it does not have a retractable roof.
During the early rounds of Wimbledon 2026, No. 2 Court will host several Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Singles matches. The court has also built a reputation for producing memorable upsets over the years.
As the tournament progresses, Wimbledon 2026 will use No. 2 Court for doubles quarter-finals and semi-finals.
No. 3 Court and Outside Courts
Beyond the three main stadiums, Wimbledon 2026 will also feature matches on No. 3 Court and the Outside Courts (Courts 4–18). These courts offer fans a chance to watch top players and rising stars from much closer seats.
No. 3 Court is considered one of Wimbledon’s main show courts. During the first week of Wimbledon 2026, it will host Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Singles matches featuring seeded players, along with other exciting contests.
Meanwhile, the Outside Courts (Courts 4–18) will stage many early-round singles, doubles and mixed doubles matches throughout the tournament. They are also popular with fans who enjoy moving around the grounds and watching matches from different courts.
