US Open Tennis 2025 Schedule
Alright, here's the deal with the 2025 US Open—you can almost feel New York's summer heat just thinking about it. For the first time in its history, the main draw kicks off over the weekend: it starts Sunday, August 24, 2025, and will run right through to Sunday, September 7. This extended 15-day format, basically stealing some limelight from the other slams, means you get a fat chunk of tennis right from the start and a few more matches to lose your voice over.
So, Sunday the 24th isn’t some slow “Fan Day”—it’s all about marquee matches. Men's and women’s singles first rounds take center stage across Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong Stadiums. And don’t skip the first week if you like surprise upsets; the best drama seems to happen before the stars get a grip on those slippery courts. By September, all roads lead to the finals weekend, with women’s and men’s singles champs crowned the 6th and 7th.
Fan Week, though—don’t sleep on that. It actually starts August 18 with qualifying rounds and practice sessions, and includes a fresh twist: mixed doubles will be done early this year, August 19-20, in a brand new, heavily debated format. A $1 million prize is on the line, which is wild for just two days of tennis.

US Open Tennis 2025 Tickets
Getting tickets this year? There's a whole menu of choices, and prices swing wildly depending on your timing and seat cravings. Grounds passes, they’re the budget pick, starting at just $37, letting you bounce between all courts—just not Arthur Ashe for the top-dog matches. If you want to see Alcaraz or Gauff shock the crowd, Arthur Ashe tickets are as low as $44 early on, according to recent sales info. As the tournament heats up, those numbers climb, especially for night sessions and later rounds—north of $300 by semis or finals, no surprise there.
If you want something way more bougie, some travel packages include hotel stays, transport, even Broadway tickets over the Labor Day weekend or Finals. The W Times Square seems to be the spot for those wanting the “see and be seen” NYC life alongside the tennis. Individual tickets for each day are still on sale and can be snapped up online via the US Open’s official site or platforms like Vivid Seats and SeatGeek. Don't forget, package deals or resale markets can sometimes sneak in savings or better seat views—just watch for the legit badge, you know.
