HSBC joins LTA as title sponsor at Queen’s

The LTA has entered into a four-year partnership with HSBC, making the bank the title sponsor of the HSBC Championships, a two-week event featuring both women’s and men’s tennis at The Queen’s Club in London.

This partnership aligns with the launch of the updated 2025 grass-court tennis calendar, which will include a WTA 500 event at The Queen’s Club. This marks the first time in over 50 years that a women’s Tour-level event will be held in London.

The event will run alongside the established ATP 500 tournament, which has been named ATP Tournament of the Year for three consecutive years by players.

The 2025 edition of the tournament, set to take place in June, will undergo a rebrand to reflect its new dual-gender format, while HSBC’s role as title sponsor reinforces its longstanding commitment to sport, which includes partnerships with British tennis figures such as Tim Henman and Emma Raducanu.

The updated grass-court season will feature new tournaments for both men and women at The Queen’s Club and Birmingham’s Edgbaston Priory Club, complementing existing mixed events in Eastbourne, Nottingham, and Ilkley. For the first time, all the LTA’s grass-court events will feature both male and female players.

Scott Lloyd, LTA Chief Executive, said, “We are delighted to welcome HSBC to our LTA family of partners, becoming the title sponsor of the HSBC Championships of our ATP and WTA 500 events in June.

“The HSBC Championships will mean fans can enjoy the tradition of world class tennis in a unique setting and be part of the return of women’s tour-level tennis to London for the first time in more than half a century. We can’t wait to get started.”
