When is Wimbledon 2023: Dates, full schedule, times, and how to get tickets for SW19 tennis

Andy Murray will play fellow Brit Ryan Peniston in the first round of Wimbledon 2023 — and the winner will face a tough test against Stefanos Tsitsipas or Dominic Thiem.

Two-time champion Murray, 36, missed out on a seeding for this year’s competition, which begins on Monday (July 3), and leaves him vulnerable in the early stages.

The draw, made on Friday, sees defending champion Novak Djokovic paired with Argentina's Pedro Cachin, while Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina starts her defence against American Shelby Rogers.

Elsewhere, the ban on Russian and Belarusian players has been lifted, after athletes from both countries were barred 12 months ago following the invasion of Ukraine.

There will be some notable absentees, though, with Emma Raducanu not competing after undergoing surgery on both wrists and her ankle, while Rafael Nadal is not yet ready to make his return to tennis as he battles a hip injury.

Here’s all you need to know about this year’s tournament.

When is Wimbledon 2023?

The Wimbledon main draw gets underway on Monday, July 3, with the tournament coming to an end with the men’s singles final on Sunday, July 16.

For the second year in a row, play will take on Middle Sunday, meaning there are 14 days straight action at SW19.

Matches on outside courts get underway at 11am BST, with later starts on Centre Court (1.30pm) and Court One (1pm).

The Wimbledon Public Ballot offered tennis fans a chance to get tickets for this year’s tournament, though that closed at the end of last year and those who were successful will have been notified in recent months.

For those who did not enter or did not succeed in getting tickets through the ballot, there are two remaining options.

Tickets can be bought through the official hospitality provider, Keith Prowse, or fans can try their luck with the famous Wimbledon queue later this summer.

It begins at Wimbledon Park very early each morning, with up to 500 tickets available for the three Show Courts that day.
