The Aegon Championships will be at the heart of an expanded grass court season in 2015 after the  ATP calendar was revealed. 

The ever-popular event at The Queen's Club, which will also attain ATP World Tour 500 status for the first time in 2015, will be held in week two of the new grass court season, 15-21 June.

This year, the Aegon Championships will take place a week earlier, 9-15 June. 

As part of the 2015 changes, Nottingham will host an ATP250 men’s event during the week before Wimbledon. The new tournament will see the event move from Eastbourne’s Devonshire Park, enabling the draw size to increase to a 48-man draw, up from 28 players in previous years.

Eastbourne will continue to host the Aegon International, a WTA Premier 600 event which will also feature a larger player field of 48 from 2015, featuring many of the world’s top female players.

From 2015, the ATP World Tour and WTA Tour British grass court season will run as follows:
