The 2025 US Open, the 145th staging of this iconic tennis Grand Slam, will be held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York, from August 24 through September 7. This year brings historic changes: for the first time in the Open Era, the main draw expands to 15 days and launches on a weekend, matching the extended schedules of the Australian and French Opens. Both men’s and women’s singles first rounds begin Sunday, packing the opening days with headline matches and more opportunity for surprise upsets, according to The Telegraph.

Fan Week opens earlier on August 18, including qualifying rounds and practice sessions, culminating in the debut of a radically reimagined mixed doubles event. The mixed doubles, now held during Fan Week August 19–20, features a compressed two-day format, a record $1 million winner’s prize, and innovative match rules: matches are best-of-three sets to four games with no-ad scoring and tiebreaks at four-all, intended to boost pace and drama. This format has sparked mixed reactions from athletes and fans, with some criticism reported by Wikipedia.

Reigning champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka return to defend their singles titles, fresh off impressive seasons—Sinner dominated the men's 2024 US Open while Sabalenka took the women’s crown. Notable among the British contingent is 2021 champion Emma Raducanu, rejuvenated by a string of deep runs at top-tier events this year, and Katie Boulter, who’ll look to surpass her 2023 third-round showing, as detailed by the LTA.

In addition to the marquee singles and doubles events, the US Open will once again stage all wheelchair competitions, having skipped 2024 due to the Paris Paralympics schedule. Junior draws and new wheelchair boys' and girls' events expand the tournament’s scope, reinforcing its reputation as the world’s most comprehensive tennis showcase, highlighted by Wikipedia.

Matches unfold across 17 tournament courts (including Arthur Ashe, Louis Armstrong, and Grandstand) with both ESPN and Sky Sports providing exhaustive live coverage in the US and UK, per The Telegraph and LTA. For digital coverage, the official US Open app—built with IBM tech—offers 3D match visualizations, live scores, and personalized alerts for your favorite players, facilitating a uniquely immersive following experience, as promoted by the United States Tennis Association.

Ticketing is fully mobile, and fans on-site are encouraged to explore interactive schedules, exclusive American Express perks, and "At the Open" guides for the best on-grounds experiences. The event continues to attract more than 850,000 visitors, each immersing in the unique summer atmosphere of New York tennis, as described by The Tennis Tribe.

The US Open finals weekend will conclude with the women’s singles championship on September 6 and the men’s title match on September 7, culminating a Grand Slam season packed with storylines, innovation, and the world’s biggest tennis stars.
