When Is the HSBC Championships 2026 Final?

The 2026 HSBC Championships will crown champions on two separate weekends. The women’s singles and doubles finals are scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2026, while the men’s singles and doubles finals will take place the following weekend on Sunday, June 21, 2026. 

All final matches are expected to take place on the historic Centre Court at the Queen’s Club, which has been renamed the Andy Murray Arena. Singles and doubles finals happen on the same day, with singles usually being the main event. However, the exact match times and order of play won’t be officially confirmed until the evening before the finals. 

How the HSBC Championships Order of Play Works

The HSBC Championships order of play is the tournament’s official daily schedule. It tells everyone who is playing, on which court, and in what order. Since tennis matches have no time limits, organisers list matches one after another rather than giving each one a fixed clock time. The second match on a court simply starts whenever the first one finishes.

To help fans and players plan, the first match of the day starts at a set time, while later matches often have a “not before” time. This rule guarantees that a match will not start early, even if the previous games finish very quickly. However, long matches or rain delays can easily push the schedule back, forcing organisers to delay matches or move them to different days.

When planning the day, organisers always prioritise star singles matches for the best courts during prime afternoon viewing hours. Doubles matches are usually saved for later in the day or played on the smaller outside courts.

HSBC Championships Courts and Match Times

The tournament’s action is split between the grand main showcase, the historic Centre Court (officially named the Andy Murray Arena) and several smaller outside courts. The Andy Murray Arena hosts the tournament’s biggest headline matches and finals. Meanwhile, the outside courts offer fans a chance to see world-class tennis up close during the chaotic early rounds.

Instead of split afternoon and night sessions, play runs continuously as one long day session from late morning until dark. As weather and match lengths are unpredictable, fans can check the tournament app or stadium screens for live schedule updates.
