The official poster for The Championships 2026, designed by British illustrator Nathalie Lees, depicts how the Wimbledon experience is defined by shared anticipation as much as world-class sport.
Through the artwork, she wanted to create a sense of occasion, with people naturally gravitating towards Centre Court as the symbolic and architectural heart of The Championships, while the surrounding courts pulse with activity from players and spectators alike.
Nathalie commented: “Wimbledon is full of iconic elements to draw from - the grass courts, the extraordinary horticulture, and the long shadows cast by the golden evening sun - but one of the most important aspects is the people who visit during those two weeks. In order to capture the unique atmosphere of the greatest Grand Slam, my goal was to try to emulate the buzz of the crowds.
“I explored many early sketches that focused on the spectators and the energy they bring to the tournament and developed several routes which resulted in the final artwork.
“My connection to Wimbledon goes back to 1992, when I first visited as a child and watched Andre Agassi play Goran Ivanisevic in the gentlemen’s singles final on Centre Court. Contributing to Wimbledon’s visual history through this poster has been one of the great privileges of my career.”
