Wimbledon is upping the ante, as the London Grand Slam announced its raising this year’s overall prize money to £64.2 million — a £10.7 million leap from 2025.
The 20% increase marks the largest in tournament history. ATP and WTA champions will take home £3.6 million each, while first-round losers walk with £80,000.
“What has been decided this year is the biggest uplift ever in quantum terms,” said All England Club chair Debbie Jevans. “We’re proud to be able to do that through how we run the championships in such a sustainable way.”
The news comes after top stars publicly protested French Open revenue sharing. However, Wimbledon’s payout still falls below the 16% players are targeting.
“We’ve always been clear that we’re on the side of the players,” added Jevans, stressing All England Club’s nonprofit status. “Revenue does not take into account the contributions that we give.”
The grass-court Slam’s new total amounts to 15.1% of last year’s recorded revenue. That’s a tick up from 2025’s 13% split.
