Wimbledon Raises Prize Money to Record Levels: Champions to Earn £3 Million Each
Wimbledon has increased its total prize money for this year’s championships to a staggering £53.5 million ($72.59 million). This marks a seven percent rise from 2024 and is double the amount offered just a decade ago, according to the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC).
This year, both singles champions will take home £3 million each, reflecting an 11.1 percent increase from the prize money awarded to last year’s winners, Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova. This boost not only highlights Wimbledon’s tradition of excellence but also aims to reward players more generously for their hard work and dedication.
Even those who exit in the first round will benefit from the increase, with prize money rising to £66,000—up 10 percent from the previous year. This is part of Wimbledon’s ongoing effort to support all participants in the tournament, ensuring that even early exits are compensated fairly.
The enhanced prize structure is expected to attract top talent from around the globe, further elevating the tournament’s status as one of the most prestigious events in the tennis calendar.
