Your Ultimate Guide to Centre Court Seating & Views

Centre Court at Wimbledon is the crown jewel of tennis, hosting iconic matches since 1922. With a capacity of 14,979, its retractable roof ensures play continues rain or shine. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you choose the perfect seats.

Centre Court Seating Chart Overview

• Lower Tier (100s): Closest to the action, offering unparalleled views of player movements. Best for serious fans but lacks elevation for overall court perspective.
• Middle Tier (200s): Ideal balance of proximity and elevation. Perfect for analyzing gameplay with clear sightlines to both baselines.
• Upper Tier (300s): Most affordable seats with bird's-eye views. Higher rows may feel distant, but central sections provide excellent vantage points.
• Royal Box & VIP: Prime locations near the net with exclusive amenities. Includes debenture seats offering five years' access.

Best Seats for Different Experiences

• Player Perspective: Rows A-F in 100s behind baselines
• Tactical Viewing: Middle tier, sections 203-208 or 223-228
• Budget-Friendly: Upper tier center blocks (311-317)
• VIP Experience: Debenture seats or hospitality packages

Seat View Tips & Obstructions

Avoid extreme side sections (101-104, 131-134) for skewed angles. Upper tier back rows may have slight overhang from the roof. Wheelchair-accessible platforms offer excellent views at various levels.

Premium Options & Accessibility

• Debenture seats include lounges and fine dining
• Hospitality packages with champagne service
• 40+ wheelchair spaces with companion seats
• Hearing enhancement systems available

Choosing Your Perfect Seat

For first-timers, middle tier offers the best introduction. Serious fans should target baseline seats, while casual spectators will enjoy the atmosphere from upper center sections. Book early for best availability, especially for show courts during the second week.
