US Open Tennis 2025: Schedule, Must-Watch Matches, Rising Stars & How to Stream Live

The 2025 US Open Tennis Championships are set to serve up their biggest edition yet, expanding to a 15-day schedule that now begins on Sunday, Aug. 24 and runs through Sunday, Sept. 7 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens. New 15-Day Format Means More First-Round Action By shifting the start to Sunday, the tournament joins the Australian and French Opens in offering three days of first-round play, giving fans extra chances to catch marquee names on court while boosting overall attendance and global broadcast hours. Organizers report that the 2024 edition delivered record crowds, and the added day aims to push those numbers even higher. How to Secure 2025 US Open Tickets All sessions for the 2025 US Open are already listed on major resale sites, with opening-day grounds passes hovering around $220 and men’s final seats starting near $600 as of late May. Fans can choose single-session, day-session or grounds-pass options across Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium and the intimate Grandstand. Early buyers not only lock in lower prices but also a wider selection of seat locations for the newly extended first round. $800 Million Makeover for Arthur Ashe Stadium The USTA has unveiled an $800 million “reimagining” of Arthur Ashe Stadium—the largest single investment in the event’s 145-year history—including wider concourses, a skyline-view premium bar and a state-of-the-art Player Performance Center slated for completion by 2027. Construction will be phased so that fans experience no disruption during the 2025 tournament. Defending Champions and Contenders Men’s world No. 1 Jannik Sinner returns after lifting his first US Open crown in 2024, while women’s champion Aryna Sabalenka looks to repeat in New York. American star Coco Gauff, still riding the momentum of her 2023 title run, headlines the home hopes alongside Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe. With Novak Djokovic eyeing a record-extending Grand Slam tally and Iga Świątek seeking hard-court redemption, the player fields promise blockbuster match-ups from day one. Fan Experience Beyond the Baseline Between matches, visitors can explore upgraded food halls, signature cocktails overlooking the iconic Unisphere and nightly music on the Fountain Plaza. Pair that with the subway-friendly location in Queens and the tournament’s $1.2 billion annual economic impact on New York City, and the 2025 US Open is positioned as both a sporting and cultural centerpiece.
