US OPEN 2026

It’s official, the US Open kicked off on Aug 23rd here in NYC and will continue through Sep 13th at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Over the next few weeks, our days and nights will be filled with some of the best tennis players in the world coming together! There will be long matches, upsets, and new storylines to be revealed. During Fan Week, we had the pleasure of attending Media Day which took place over the first weekend where we were able to meet Coco Gauff, Novak Djokovic, Ben Shelton, Carlos Alcaraz, Frances Tiafoe and so much more!

The best part of the US Open is that there is something for everyone to enjoy regardless of your tennis level. There are activations, amazing food and beverages, concerts, and of course great game play! As we continue to navigate the schedule, there will be a clearer picture on who will win Mens and Womens Singles as well as Doubles for one of our favorite Grand Slam tournaments!
