HSBC Championships Tennis at The Queen’s Club: The Perfect Wimbledon Warm‑Up

A British Summer Tradition

Every June, London’s sporting calendar takes on a distinctly British flavour of strawberries and cream, Pimm’s in the sunshine, and world‑class grass‑court tennis on immaculate lawns. There’s no better place to experience it than the HSBC Championships at The Queen’s Club in West Kensington.
For decades, Queen’s has been the trusted proving ground for champions in racket sports. As Wimbledon looms, tennis’s biggest stars descend on West London to fine‑tune their grass‑court game. This event at the Cinch Championships is the ultimate build‑up to Wimbledon.

In 2026, the Championships run from 6 to 21 June at The Queen’s Club, one of the oldest grass‑court tournaments in the world. The tournament was first held in 1889.
Priority ticket sales open on 4 November, with general sale from 11 November. This is an important detail for fans planning their visit.

A Stage for Tennis Royalty: Queen’s Club Tennis

The HSBC Championships have hosted a roll‑call of legends on the ATP 500 tour. Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Boris Becker, and Carlos Alcaraz have all lifted the trophy here. These champions have treated fans to electric matches that set the tone for Wimbledon.
From Rod Laver and Björn Borg to Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, and Roger Federer, icons of the men’s game have used Queen’s to hone their games for SW19. For spectators, the Queen’s Club offers a rare chance to watch the world’s top players in an intimate setting. Unlike the sprawling spectacle of SW19, Queen’s feels personal. Every cheer, every gasp, every rally feels just that little bit closer.

In 2025, history was made again with the return of women’s tennis to Queen’s. WTA 500 stars like Emma Raducanu, Qinwen Zheng, and Madison Keys competed on the iconic grass courts. Germany’s Tatjana Maria became the first woman to be crowned champion at The Queen’s Club since 1973. With the women’s and men’s tours now united at Queen’s, the 2026 edition of the HSBC Championships promises even more excitement and the strongest fields yet.

Wimbledon Quality at a Fraction of the Price

Tickets for Wimbledon are notoriously tough to secure, often requiring a ballot, early queuing, a stroke of luck, or an enquiry on the official Wimbledon site. The Queen’s Club, by contrast, provides easier access and a more affordable alternative without compromising on quality. Here, you’re still watching the very same stars … Alcaraz, Jack Draper, Nick Kyrgios, and others. It’s at a fraction of the price. For fans and corporate guests alike, it’s a smarter way to enjoy world‑class tennis in London.

Queen’s Club: The Spirit of a British Summer

Queen’s isn’t just tennis; it’s the atmosphere of a British summer distilled into a single event. Set in Kensington, the venue combines heritage with modern sporting prestige. From its history dating back to 1886 to the iconic Centre Court and intimate stands, Queen’s is where tradition meets modern sport.
