The 2025 US Open will make history with its first-ever weekend start to the main draw in the Open Era, kicking off on Sunday, August 24, and running through Sunday, September 7.
In addition to the expanded main draw, the event will feature a groundbreaking Fan Week from August 18-23, offering six days of free grounds admission prior to the main draw. Fans will have unprecedented access to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y., giving them a chance to get closer to the action and enjoy all the event has to offer before the singles competition even begins.
For the first time, the tournament will span a full three weeks, from August 18 to September 7. This historic shift provides fans with more opportunities than ever to experience the excitement of the tournament.
The expansion includes a revamped opening weekend, with the men’s and women’s singles first rounds scheduled from Sunday to Tuesday. The Sunday start will increase main draw attendance by more than 70,000 fans, thanks to the addition of six new ticketed sessions. These will include day and night sessions for reserved seats in both Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium and day-session tickets for Grandstand reserved and Grounds Admission.
With more competition days, more access, and more fan-friendly features, the 2025 US Open will be a game-changer. Get ready for the most thrilling, action-packed US Open yet!
