The summer of tennis is about to hit its peak in New York. From Sunday, August 24, through Sunday, September 7, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows will host the 2025 US Open – the sport’s final Grand Slam of the year. Fans can expect two weeks of electric matches, packed crowds, and the kind of late-night drama that only New York City can deliver.
This year brings a historic change. For the first time, the tournament expands to a 15-day format, starting on Sunday instead of the traditional Monday. Coverage begins at noon ET on ABC, giving fans an extra day of action and a bigger stage for early-round storylines. It’s ESPN’s 17th straight year at the Open, and now with ABC handling marquee weekend broadcasts, coverage is wider and more accessible than ever.
On the court, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner arrives as the defending men’s champion after taking down Taylor Fritz in last year’s final. On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka returns to Flushing Meadows fresh off a dominant 2024, ready to defend her crown against rivals like Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, and Jessica Pegula. With established champions and rising stars colliding, the Open is set for a dramaticfortnight.
