How Many Seats are at Wimbledon?

Wimbledon Centre Court has 14,979 seats and No.1 Court has 12,345. Across Wimbledon's six designated Show Courts, there are approximately 35,900 spectator seats.

The total number of people that can attend Wimbledon each day is higher than the number of Show Court seats because spectators also use the smaller outside courts, standing areas, The Hill and other parts of the Grounds.

This guide compares the seating capacity of Wimbledon's main courts and explains how reserved, unreserved and debenture seating fit within those numbers.

How Many Seats Are on Each Wimbledon Show Court?

Together, the six Show Courts provide approximately 35,900 seats.

This should not be confused with the overall capacity of the Wimbledon Grounds, which also includes spectators using outside courts and other public areas.

How Many Seats Are on Wimbledon Centre Court?

Centre Court has 14,979 seats.

It is Wimbledon's largest stadium and hosts the tournament's biggest matches, including the Ladies' and Gentlemen's Singles Finals.

When Centre Court opened at Church Road in 1922 it had 9,989 seats, together with standing accommodation. Its capacity has increased through successive redevelopment projects.

Today it is an all-seater stadium with a retractable roof.

For the layout, match programme and visitor experience, see our Wimbledon Centre Court guide.

How Many Seats Are on Wimbledon No.1 Court?

No.1 Court has 12,345 seats.

The current stadium opened in 1997 and was substantially redeveloped ahead of the 2019 Championships, when its capacity was increased and a retractable roof added.

It is Wimbledon's second-largest court.

See our Wimbledon No.1 Court guide for more about the stadium and its match programme.

How Many Seats Are on No.2 Court?

No.2 Court has approximately 4,063 seats.

It is considerably smaller than Centre Court and No.1 Court but remains one of Wimbledon's principal Show Courts.

No.2 Court seating is reserved, so spectators require the appropriate court ticket to use its stands.

How Many Seats Are on No.3 Court?

No.3 Court has approximately 1,980 seats.

Unlike the three larger Show Courts, No.3 Court includes both reserved and unreserved seating.

Spectators with Grounds access can use the available unreserved areas, subject to capacity.

How Many Seats Are on Court 12?

Court 12 has approximately 1,736 seats.

Its spectator seating is primarily unreserved, so access depends on available capacity rather than holding a seat allocated for the entire day.

How Many Seats Are on Court 18?

Court 18 has approximately 782 seats.

Despite its relatively small capacity, it is one of Wimbledon's best-known outside courts and is officially designated as a Show Court.

Its unreserved seating is available to spectators with Grounds access, subject to capacity.

What Is the Difference Between Reserved and Unreserved Wimbledon Seats?

Capacity does not mean that every seat on every court can be booked individually.

Centre Court, No.1 Court and No.2 Court have reserved seating. A ticket gives the holder an allocated seat for the relevant court.

Other courts include unreserved seating. These seats can be used by eligible spectators while space is available, but you do not reserve the same seat for the whole day.

Our Wimbledon Grounds Pass guide explains how access to unreserved courts works.

How Many Wimbledon Debenture Seats Are There?

For the debenture series covering the 2027 Championships, there are:

• 2,520 Centre Court debenture seats in the 2026-2030 series; and
• 1,250 No.1 Court debenture seats in the 2027-2031 series.

That means there are 3,770 debenture seats across Centre Court and No.1 Court.

These seats form part of each stadium's overall capacity rather than being additional seats.

For where the debenture sections are located, see our Wimbledon seating plan. For how the underlying five-year allocations work, see What is a Wimbledon Debenture?

Are All Wimbledon Seats the Same?

No. Two seats on the same court can offer quite different experiences depending on their row, viewing angle, proximity to the court, shade and position within the stadium.

Capacity tells you how many spectators a court can accommodate; it does not tell you which individual seats are preferable.

For that comparison, see our guide to the best seats at Wimbledon.
