Queen's Club Championships Prize Money 2026: What the HSBC Championships Pay Per Round, Men and Women
Two weeks of grass in West Kensington before Wimbledon: the women since their return in 2025, the men in the week after. Here is what each round of the HSBC Championships paid in 2026, why the two purses are so far apart, and who has won on the club's lawns.

Prize money per round
Queen's Club Championships prize money per round
In shortThe 2026 men's champion took €483,145 and the women's champion $294,445. A first-round loser earned €20,145 in the men's draw and $20,160 in the women's.
Queen's Club Championships prize money is paid per player for the last round reached, before tax. The two events are separate 500-level tournaments with separate tables, since the men's is set by the ATP in euros and the women's by the WTA in US dollars. That is why the two ladders below are shown on their own scales rather than side by side.

The men's ladder is steep. The runner-up earns 54 percent of the champion's cheque, a quarterfinalist about 15 percent, and a first-round loser €20,145, roughly 4 percent. The women's table below has a flatter top: its runner-up earns 62 percent of the title money.

The ranking points follow each tour's 500-level scale. Both champions earn 500 points; below that the tables part ways. A men's runner-up takes 330 points and a women's 325; a men's quarterfinalist 100 and a women's 108. A men's first-round loser earns no points at all, while a woman who loses her opening match still collects one. For players heading to Wimbledon, the points count for less than the matches, since Queen's is one of the few chances to play best-of-three on grass at full speed before the Championships begin.
The men's and women's gap
Why the Queen's Club purses are so far apart
In shortIn 2026 the men's purse was €2,583,330 and the women's $1,915,000. The LTA has committed to equal prize money at Queen's no later than 2029.
The gap is wider than the raw numbers suggest. The men's champion earned €483,145 and the women's $294,445, and since a euro is worth more than a dollar, converting the men's figure only stretches the difference. Much of it comes from the tours rather than the club: the ATP and WTA set different scales for their 500-level events, and the women's event at Queen's was rebuilt from nothing in 2025.
The Lawn Tennis Association, which runs the event, has moved faster than the tour minimum. The women's total rose from $1,415,000 in 2025 to $1,915,000 in 2026, an increase of about a third, and the LTA says it will close the gap with the ATP prize money at both Queen's and Eastbourne no later than 2029. Our tennis prize money ledger tracks which big events already pay equally.

ATP prize money as published on the ATP's page for each edition. The women's event has only two editions, $1,415,000 in 2025 and $1,915,000 in 2026, so it is described in the text rather than charted.

Murray's five titles came between 2009 and 2016, and he remains the last British champion. Feliciano Lopez holds two records at once from his 2019 win: the oldest champion, at 37, and the lowest-ranked, at No. 113. The 2026 women's final was a near miss for the home crowd. Emma Raducanu led by a double break in the second set before Donna Vekic came back to win on her fifth championship point.
