How many matches are in a session?
Tickets will be sold in sessions, with two sessions taking place every day. Each session will feature at least two matches.
There will be two courts in the arena for the first four days of the competition (12-15 July), with games being played simultaneously. You will be able to choose tickets for court one or court two when you are making your purchase.
The courts are not separated by a physical barrier so it may be possible to see parts of the match taking place on the alternative court from some seats, however this is not guaranteed.
How do I know which teams will be playing when?
The current competition schedule can be found here.
The competition schedule was updated on 2 July when the latest INF world rankings were announced and the automatic qualifiers for the tournament confirmed, alongside England who had already qualified as host nation. After this update, the Preliminaries Stage One matches featuring these six teams were confirmed.
The full competition schedule for Preliminaries Stage One has been announced following the regional qualifying events. Preliminaries Stage Two matches will be dependent on Preliminaries Stage One results.
How do I get to see the opening ceremony?
The opening ceremony will take place within session two on Friday 12 July 2019 and will be included in tickets bought for this session for both court one and court two.
