The Mark Bates Ltd National Championships 2026 are here! The David Ross Sports Village in Nottingham is abuzz with activity today as players aim to qualifying for the main draw beginning tomorrow.

The incentive is huge for all, but particularly those who have been drawn to play against one of the top seeds in the Round of 32.

Qualifying groups start from 9am – and we also have the early rounds of the Mixed Doubles from 7pm.

Saturday tickets are £5 for children and £10 for adults, and on Sunday it is just £7.50 and £15 respectively – with SEVEN champions due to be crowned.
