The US Open takes place over two weeks at the end of August and early September, with the middle weekend coinciding with the Labor Day holiday. It is the oldest of all four Grand Slam events, and is known for shocking upsets and thrilling matches that run late into the night.
The 2025 US Open Schedule will start with the qualifying tournament Monday August 18 through Thursday August 21 (free “Fan Week” that allows grounds access and many doubles matches). Then the main draw begins Friday August 24-Sunday August 26. Each day has a full slate of men’s and women’s singles matches and mixed doubles, with the top seeds usually playing on Saturday and the rising stars fighting it out for quarterfinal spots on Super Sunday.
Tip #5: Check the daily schedule of play on the official tournament site and app frequently throughout the summer to keep up with the action. A detailed schedule of plays is typically released each morning, and the app offers a great way to see all available courts in real-time on a map view.
Note that ticket availability for the main draws tends to fluctuate a lot. USTA/Ticketmaster uses “dynamic pricing” on face-value “standard” tickets in response to supply and demand. Plus the event intentionally holds back some initial releases and tends to trickle more out over the summer. Reselling “scalping” is illegal in NYC 1500 feet from the venue, and the US Open has undercover police cracking down on both buyers and sellers.
