Registrations are now available for the ancient tournament being held on TopSpin 2K25 starting on July 6.
The Wimbledon eChamps presented by American Express, the Official Partner of The Championships since 2019, are the All England Lawn Tennis Club’s first previously established formal games game. The second sport esports competition to feature TopSpin 2K25, a rehashed version of the popular video game series of golf simulation, will be held at the eChamps.
The eChamps may start with empty qualifiers, which will allow TopSpin 2K25 members to advance their rankings and attempt to advance to the live in-person finals, which will take place in Wimbledon in September. The finals may operate across four countries in Europe, as well as North America, covering UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Canada and the US. Players can sign up for the tournament starting today ( June 28 ), with qualifying matches beginning on July 6.
The in-person finals will take place in Wimbledon’s Media Theatre, where qualifiers will have the opportunity to compete against one another in the home of the most prominent tennis tournament in the world. They may engage there for the privilege of being the first always Wimbledon eChampion, as well as the chance to travel back to the 2025 Gentlemen’s Singles Final with all-expenses paid. In addition, the winner will get a special gold-plated PlayStation 5 system, which will have their brand and historic achievements etched into it by Wimbledon’s established artist.
