Wimbledon 2022: Full schedule, seedings, match times, tickets, prize money and what time does it start on TV today?

Wimbledon, the oldest tennis tournament in the world, today returns for its 135th year.

The 2022 edition also marks 100 years of Centre Court as we know it, on Church Road, the pinnacle of the grasscourt season.

Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal are the top two men's seeds, though the likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Carlos Alcaraz will also fancy their chances.

World no1 Iga Swiatek heads the women's seedings and is on a stunning 35-match winning streak - tied for the longest by a woman this century - but her grasscourt experience is limited, meaning Ons Jabeur, Maria Sakkari, Coco Gauff and home favourite Emma Raducanu will sense an opportunity.

Here’s all you need to know...

Date, start time and venue

Wimbledon starts on Monday, June 27, 2022, and for the first time runs for 14 straight days until Sunday, July 10.

As ever, play will take place across 18 grasscourts in SW19 - from Centre Court to Couty 18 (there is no Court 13).
