Wimbledon has announced a 7% increase in total prize money, bringing the overall fund to a record £53.5 million for the 2025 championships. The boost reflects the tournament’s commitment to rewarding players while responding to growing calls for a greater share of Grand Slam profits.
The men’s and women’s singles champions will each receive £3 million, marking an 11% increase from last year. Meanwhile, first-round singles losers will take home £66,000, a 10% rise compared to 2024. The prize adjustments extend across all categories, with doubles winners earning £680,000 (up 4%) and mixed doubles champions receiving £135,000 (up 3%).
The All England Club emphasized its commitment to player compensation, noting that Wimbledon’s prize fund has doubled over the past decade. The increase comes amid ongoing discussions between Grand Slam organizers and top players, who have been advocating for a more equitable distribution of revenue.
Beyond financial changes, Wimbledon is also introducing live electronic line calling, replacing traditional line judges for the first time in its 147-year history. The tournament, set to run from June 30 to July 13, will see defending champions Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova return to Centre Court in pursuit of another title.
