The US Open is back for its 2025 edition and fans are already buzzing. Whether you’re planning to be at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center or just want to catch the action on your screen, this guide gives you everything you need to know.
The tournament kicks off on August 26 and runs through September 8. Early rounds feature 128 men’s and 128 women’s singles players, so expect a packed first week with plenty of upsets. Keep an eye on the #1 seeds – they usually dominate the first few days before the field opens up.
Wednesday, Sept. 2, is a big night for marquee matchups. Historically, the men’s quarter‑finals land on that date, and the women’s quarter‑finals follow a day later. If you’re chasing the biggest stars, mark those dates on your calendar.
Finals are set for Monday, Sept. 8. The women’s final starts at 5 pm ET, followed by the men’s final at 8 pm ET. Expect a fireworks display and a huge crowd, making it a perfect climax to the summer.
Ticket sales open in March on the official US Open website. There are three main categories: Grounds Pass (access to all outside courts), Box Seats (premium views of the main stadium), and Premium Reserved Seating (closer to the action with added amenities). Prices range from $45 for a Ground Pass day ticket to $600+ for a Box Seat on a final‑day.
If you’re on a budget, consider buying a multi‑day Ground Pass. It gives you flexibility to hop between courts and spot rising stars without breaking the bank. For the ultimate experience, a Box Seat lets you soak up the atmosphere right where the winners’ podium stands.
Can’t make it to New York? No worries. The US Open streams live on ESPN+, with a subscription costing $9.99 per month. Cable viewers can catch the action on ESPN and ABC for free (if your provider includes them). For a no‑ads experience, ESPN+ also offers a premium “Ad‑Free” add‑on.
Don’t forget the official US Open app. It delivers real‑time scores, player interviews, and a multi‑camera court view that feels like you’re right there. The app also pushes notifications for match start times, so you never miss a set.
Planning your trip? Hotels in Manhattan fill up fast, so book early. Look for package deals that bundle tickets with accommodation – they often save you 10‑15% compared to buying separately.
Finally, a quick tip: bring a portable charger. Long days on the ball courts drain phone batteries fast, and you’ll want your device alive for live stats and instant replay.
That’s the rundown for US Open 2025. Grab your tickets, set up your streaming, and get ready for two weeks of top‑level tennis drama.
