Wimbledon Centre Court Tickets for the Opening Day
Wimbledon Centre Court tickets for the opening Monday give you a debenture seat as the defending Gentlemen’s Singles champion traditionally opens play on Centre Court. Three first-round singles matches usually follow across the afternoon.
Most show-court seats go by public ballot and cannot be transferred, so a confirmed seat usually comes from a debenture holder releasing their day, with private debenture lounge access and a ground pass included.
TicketsToSee has provided access to highly sought-after events for over 22 years. Book online or speak with our Private Client Team on +44 20 3070 3997.

This is one option: a named Centre Court debenture seat for the whole of Day 1, normally sold in pairs. Centre Court debenture seats sit in the lower and middle tiers around the court, among the best sightlines in the stadium, looking down on the baseline, the players’ benches and the Royal Box.
- A named Centre Court debenture seat for the whole day’s play
- Entry to the Centre Court debenture holders’ private lounges, bars and restaurants
- A ground pass for the rest of the site, including the outside courts
What Day 1 Brings on Centre Court
Day 1 is the opening Monday. The defending Gentlemen’s Singles champion traditionally plays the first match on Centre Court, and the court usually stages three first-round singles matches: two in the Gentlemen’s draw and one in the Ladies’.
Centre Court has a retractable roof, so play goes ahead whatever the weather, and the All England Club publishes the order of play the evening before on wimbledon.com. For the full fortnight, dress code and getting there, see our Wimbledon debenture tickets page. The same day on No.1 Court is on our No.1 Court Day 1 page.
Who Books Day 1 on Centre Court
It is the day for the first sight of the grass at its best and the champion’s return, and a natural choice for a first Wimbledon or a client day that opens the summer.
How Your Debenture Tickets Reach You
When the tickets are released, each guest receives an invitation to accept their ticket in the Wimbledon app and shows their own phone at the gate. The ticket shows a nominal face value, which is not the price of the debenture seat, and our Private Client Team stays in touch until every ticket has arrived.
