The US Open is played in August and September each year, the last two weeks of the summer in New York City. It is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments, and was first held in 1881, making it one of the oldest tennis championships in history. All the courts used by the US Open are illuminated, allowing matches to continue into the evening.
Ticket prices for the US Open are usually among the highest in the sport, but early buying and resale options make it possible to find affordable seats. The best way to find deals is on the official Ticketmaster site, which features both any standard tickets (non-resale, face value) that may be available (shown as “blue dots” on the detailed seat map for each session) and resale tickets (shown as red dots).
The 2025 U.S. Open begins with mixed doubles matches on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by singles action from Thursday through Sunday. Defending champion Jannik Sinner will start his men’s draw against Vit Kopriva, while top seed Aryna Sabalenka will play either Reilly Opelka or Jasmine Paolini on her first match day before potentially facing the likes of Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, and Novak Djokovic en route to the final.
A deep American contingent of players also will challenge in New York, led by runner-up from 2024 Madison Keys and recent semifinalist Coco Gauff, plus rising talents Alex Michelsen, Learner Tien, and Brandon Nakashima. This year, the US Open will use a new format to hold its semifinals and final on consecutive days, instead of spreading them out over three days like previous years.
