While we’ve only just said goodbye to 2025, the team at Ilkley Lawn Tennis and Squash Club (ILTSC) are already well underway with planning Ilkley’s biggest week of the year, the Lexus Ilkley Open.

From the 7^th – 14^th June 2026, star tennis players will take to Ilkley’s award-winning grass courts. Attracting players ranked within the top 100 in the World, the growth this event has seen since its beginning in 2015 is outstanding. Prior to Wimbledon, the event is now firmly established as a key tournament on the Men’s and Women’s tours, with Ilkley being praised for its attention to detail and ability to make players feel so welcome.

The team at ILTSC are not shy of putting on a show to remember. With 2025 hailed by many as the best event yet, the schedule for 2026 is much anticipated. As well as World class tennis, we will see the return of the ‘Beyond the Baseline’ live concerts.

Ilkley Chat spoke to Lucy White, Business Development & Events Manager at ILTSC:

“Of course, at the heart of the event is the World-class tennis, giving fans from across Yorkshire and beyond, the opportunity to watch elite-level matches on their doorstep. The Lexus Ilkley Open is an event for everyone- whether you’re a passionate tennis follower, looking for a great family day out, or just wanting to enjoy fantastic summer entertainment.

“We’re expanding our entertainment line-up with even more incredible acts to keep the atmosphere buzzing throughout the week. Coupled with a refined hospitality offering, including a new two-tiered Lounge area, guests can expect a premium experience.”

2025 proved to be yet another sell out, with the 2026 event expected to bring even bigger crowds. Tennis tickets for this year’s Lexus Ilkley Open will go on general sale at 10am on Tuesday 10^th February.
