The US Open begins on Sunday, Aug 24. The tournament’s expanded 15-day schedule gives fans more matches to witness and allows players more rest between rounds. It also means prime-time storylines, marquee matchups on Arthur Ashe, and a final day that is hotly anticipated by fans.
Whether you’re planning your visit or watching from home, the 2025 US Open schedule is sure to deliver. Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka enter this year’s event as defending champions, but they’ll face stiff competition from the likes of No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz, Americans on the rise Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz, as well as rising stars like Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff.
Tip #9: Check the official practice schedule the night before and morning of each day (and on the US Open app). The most reliable way to see your favorite players without fighting crowds is during the free Qualifier Tournament (Monday August 18-August 21) and the week before the main tournament.
The finals of the US Open are traditionally played on a Monday, but this year’s organizers may switch the date in order to heed player demands for a day off between the men’s semifinals and final.
The US Open takes place at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, NY. It’s a great time to visit, as Arthur Ashe Stadium is mid-renovation with 2,000 new courtside seats and a modern mezzanine, plus upgraded facilities and an entirely redesigned entrance.
