The 2026 Wimbledon Championship will see a 20% increase in prize money to 64.2 million British pounds ($86.1 million), setting a new record. Reaching the semifinals as a singles contestant means more than $1 million is guaranteed, meaning a big payday for the players entering the second week.
In the women’s draw, Coco Gauff, Karolina Muchova, Marta Kostyuk and Linda Noskova will each win seven-figure prizes. On the men’s side, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev are no strangers to big money, but wildcard Arthur Ferry has made a life-changing amount of money in his Cinderella run as the new hometown hero in London.
If there wasn’t enough pressure on the players this week in London, the stress of competing for one of tennis’ most prestigious titles will only increase, with so much money at stake. The winners on Saturday and Sunday will take home more than $4.8 million, more than $1.5 million more than Zverev and Mira Andreva won at Roland Garros in Paris last month.
Below is the complete prize money breakdown by round for the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, converted to USD.
