Wimbledon 2025 Prize Money Soars, Champions to Take Home £3 Million
Hey everyone! Let’s talk Wimbledon 2025 – not just the on-court drama, but the big money behind it. This year, the iconic tournament isn’t just serving up aces and thrilling rallies – it’s also delivering a financial smash hit, with a total prize pool of £53.55 million. That’s right – the richest Wimbledon in history.
Here’s the headline grabber: both the men’s and women’s singles champions will each walk away with a whopping £3 million . That’s a £300,000 bump from last year’s winner’s purse. Talk about a strong incentive to lift that trophy! But the prize distribution doesn’t just reward the final match – every round, from qualifiers to the finals, sees significant increases.

Just getting into the first round of the main draw guarantees players £66,000 , which then jumps to £99,000 in round two. Make it to the third round and you’re looking at £152,000 , while a spot in the last 16 brings in £240,000 . Quarter-finalists bank £400,000 , and semi-finalists see their efforts rewarded with £775,000 . For the runner-up, there’s still a handsome payday: £1.52 million .
Even the qualifying rounds have seen meaningful boosts. Exit in the first round of qualifying? That nets £15,500 . Survive to the second? That’s £26,000 , and the third round gives you £41,500 .
Now, the spotlight is always on singles, but let’s not forget the other categories. Doubles champions will split £680,000 per team, while mixed doubles winners take home £135,000 . In the wheelchair and quad divisions, singles champions earn £68,000 , and doubles winners earn between £28,000 and £30,000 per team.
It’s important to note that prize money is not cumulative – players receive the payout for the round in which they exit. So if someone gets knocked out in the quarter-finals, they’ll receive £400,000 , not the combined amounts of all previous rounds.
This year’s increases represent more than a 10% rise from 2024, and it really highlights how much Wimbledon continues to lead in elevating the sport – not just through tradition and prestige, but also through meaningful financial reward for excellence. Whether it’s your favorite underdog grinding through qualifiers or a top seed battling for the title, the stakes are higher than ever.
Wimbledon 2025 isn’t just about tennis history – it’s about rewarding brilliance at every level. So as the competition heats up, know that behind every serve, volley, and backhand, there’s serious prize money on the line. Game, set, match – and cash!
