The US Open kicks off in late August at Flushing Meadows, New York. This year the tournament runs from August 26 to September 8, featuring men’s and women’s singles, doubles and mixed events. Knowing the dates helps you plan travel, tickets and viewing parties without the last‑minute scramble.
Tickets sell fast, especially for the later rounds. The best way to secure a seat is to sign up for the official US Open lottery early in June. If you miss that, check the resale platform on the US Open website – it’s the safest place to avoid scalpers. For casual fans, the ground‑level courts offer a great view at a lower price.
Men’s side, the defending champion is back, but the real buzz surrounds the rising star from Serbia who reached the semi‑finals last year. On the women’s draw, the former world No.1 is looking to add another Grand Slam to her tally, while a teenage American wild‑card has already upset a top‑10 seed. Expect dramatic early‑round clashes, especially on Court 1 where the schedule is packed.
If you’re more into doubles, the veteran pair of the United States and Canada are aiming for a historic third title together. Their chemistry makes every set exciting, and they often play on the main stadium, giving fans a chance to see top‑level teamwork.
For those who can’t be at the venue, the US Open streams live on the official platform and major sports networks. A basic streaming package costs about $15 a month and includes all courts in high definition. Mobile apps also let you follow stats, player interviews and real‑time scores.
Travel wise, New York in late August is hot and humid. Pack light clothing, a reusable water bottle and sunscreen. The subway is the quickest way to get to the stadium; just buy a MetroCard and avoid traffic jams around the venue.
Food options at the complex have improved – you’ll find healthy salads, local pizza slices and vegan snacks. Prices are a bit higher than city averages, so budgeting a little extra helps you enjoy a full day without worry.
Lastly, remember the fun part: the night‑time entertainment. The US Open always hosts concerts and fan zones after the matches, giving a festival vibe. Check the official schedule for dates and line‑ups, and you’ll get a full experience beyond just tennis.
With this guide, you’re set to make the most of US Open 2025, whether you’re watching from the stands, streaming at home, or cheering in a local bar. Enjoy the drama, the rallies and the unforgettable moments that only a Grand Slam can deliver.

He joked on court, then admitted he’s more concerned about his body than ever.
