The guide
When do Wimbledon ballot results come out?
Wimbledon ballot results do not land on one big results day: ticket offers go out by email in rolling waves, and for the 2027 Championships the AELTC says offers are sent from October 2026 onwards, and it gives no end date. A winner pays face value for one allocated pair; the AELTC does not publish the payment window, and it does not accept late payments.
That rolling pattern is the single most misunderstood thing about the ballot. Every autumn, applicants who have heard nothing assume they have lost. The AELTC has not said when the last offers go out, so an early silence settles nothing.

How Wimbledon ballot results actually work
If your application is drawn, the AELTC emails you a ticket offer: one pair of day tickets, allocated automatically to Centre Court or Courts 1 to 3. You do not choose the day or the court. The email tells you what you have been offered and how to pay, and the AELTC does not publish how long you have to pay, so treat the offer as urgent.
The AELTC's own help centre puts it plainly for the current cycle: successful applicants are notified by email, with details of the ticket offer and payment instructions, from October onwards. There is no published schedule of waves and no public list of winners.
The expected 2027 timeline
The public ballot's own window is now confirmed; the results timeline below it is still the expected shape, based on the 2026 cycle, which the AELTC ran from 2 to 21 September 2025 with offers from October 2025:
- 1 to 14 September 2026: the public ballot's application window, per the AELTC's Help Centre. Our guide covers how to enter the Wimbledon 2027 ballot.
- October 2026 onwards (expected): the first offer emails go out.
- After October 2026: the AELTC gives no end date for offers.
- 28 June to 11 July 2027: the Championships.
We track the confirmed dates on the public ballot record and update it when the AELTC publishes specifics.
No email yet: what silence means
Silence in October is not a rejection: the AELTC sends offers from October 2026 onwards and gives no end date. Three practical things: make sure the email address on your myWimbledon account is one you actually read, check spam for anything from Wimbledon, and be patient with the process rather than chasing it. The AELTC does not respond to individual status requests with anything beyond the standard guidance.
Watch out for one trap: any "you have won the Wimbledon ballot" message that asks you to pay anywhere other than through your own myWimbledon account and official payment flow is a scam. Real offers route through the account you applied with.
If you are unsuccessful
Missing the draw is not the end of the road, and ballot entrants actually get a route others do not: access to returns and resale ticket opportunities ahead of the event. Beyond that, The Queue remains the famous free on-the-day route, and debentures remain the expensive but legitimate paid one. Our guide on what to do after missing a ballot walks through all of it in order.
The 1 in 10 odds figure you see quoted for the public ballot comes from press guides, not the AELTC, which publishes no official number. Either way, most applicants will not be drawn in any given year, which is exactly why the returns, resale and Queue routes matter.
LTA Advantage ballot results
The LTA's members ballot runs on its own clock. The 2027 opt-in window closed 31 August 2026, and winners are drawn and emailed in the months that follow, through to the Championships. Unlike the public ballot, successful LTA members choose from the available dates and courts when their turn comes, then buy one pair at face value. Full dates and eligibility live on the LTA ballot record.
Quick answers
▸When do Wimbledon ballot results come out?
There is no single results day. Ticket offers go out by email to successful applicants. For Wimbledon 2027, whose public ballot window ran 1 to 14 September 2026, the AELTC says offers are sent from October 2026 onwards, and it gives no end date.
▸How will I be told if I have won the ballot?
By email to the address on your myWimbledon account. The AELTC's help centre says successful applicants are notified with details of their ticket offer and instructions on how to pay. The AELTC does not publish how long you have to pay, so pay as soon as the offer arrives: it does not accept late payments.
▸I have had no email yet. Have I lost?
Not necessarily. The AELTC says offers are sent from October 2026 onwards and gives no end date, so an empty inbox in October is not a rejection.
▸Do unsuccessful applicants get anything?
Yes. Ballot entrants who are not drawn get access to returns and resale ticket opportunities before the event, on top of the routes open to everyone: The Queue on the day, and the paid debenture market.
▸When are LTA Advantage Wimbledon ballot results announced?
The LTA ballot is also rolling: winners are drawn and emailed in the months after the opt-in window, which closed 31 August 2026, through to the Championships. Successful members choose from available dates and courts and buy one pair at face value.
▸Can I check my ballot status online?
Your myWimbledon account is the place to look, and the AELTC directs all ballot communications through it. But the offer itself arrives by email, so keep the inbox on your registered address monitored, and check spam.
