## Where it stands

The public ballot for The Championships 2027 runs from 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-14 at 23:59 BST, confirmed directly by the AELTC's own online application system (reached via wimbledon.com/en_GB/tickets/ballot). Applicants need a free myWimbledon account. The application system itself states there is no advantage to applying early: every entry submitted within the window has an equal chance.

## How to enter

Apply through the free myWimbledon account at wimbledon.com/en_GB/tickets/ballot, using the 'Apply now' link on that page (an AELTC-run application system at ballot.wimbledon.com). The application window runs 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-14 at 23:59 BST; the system states there is no benefit to applying early, since every entry submitted within the window has an equal chance. Successful entrants get an email offer with a payment window.

## Your odds

AELTC publishes no official odds; press guides estimate roughly 1 in 10 applicants succeed. Unsuccessful applicants get access to returns/resale ticket opportunities before the event.

## Good to know

The public ballot for 2027 runs 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-14, confirmed directly through the AELTC's own online application system rather than estimated. That is a 12-day window, shorter than the 2026 cycle's 19-day window (2 to 21 September 2025, per the AELTC's Help Centre). Ballot is random, supervised, and the only free public route to reserved seats besides The Queue (on the day) and debentures (paid). A separate free Wheelchair Ballot runs on a similar September window for accessible seating. See separate record for the LTA membership ballot.
