Every summer, New York City transforms into the epicenter of tennis as the US Open takes over Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens. Since 1978, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center has hosted the action, with Arthur Ashe Stadium - the world’s largest tennis stadium - as its crown jewel.
More Than Just Tennis
The US Open is a two-week festival of sport, food, and culture. Fans sip the iconic Honey Deuce cocktail, explore pop-ups from brands like Ralph Lauren and Tiffany & Co., and savor eats ranging from gourmet bites to NYC classics. Free Fan Week events before the main draw let visitors catch player practices and matches without a ticket.
