The 2026 US Open Tennis Championships will take place from August 31 to September 13, 2026, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York. This final Grand Slam of the season will once again unfold across the sport’s most iconic stages, Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, and the Grandstand.

On the men’s side, American hopes will again be in focus as the search to end the nation’s long Grand Slam drought continues. Former champion Andy Roddick has urged players like Taylor Fritz to sharpen their strategies against the world’s best, while much of the spotlight is expected to fall on Ben Shelton. Shelton’s explosive rise and continued climb in the rankings have fueled predictions, from legends like John McEnroe, that he could be the one to finally deliver the next U.S. men’s singles title.

For the women, attention will turn to Emma Raducanu, who is striving to prove lasting consistency following her historic 2021 US Open victory. Injuries and uneven form have defined much of her journey since, but 2026 offers a chance for her to establish herself again as a fixture at the top of the women’s game. Meanwhile, a new generation of American and international stars will be eager to seize their moment on one of tennis’s biggest stages.

The 2026 edition promises drama, storylines of redemption and breakthrough, and the electric atmosphere that only New York can bring to tennis’s grandest nights.
