Overview
- The US Open will run from August 30 to September 13 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and the full daily schedule and ticketing options are published on the tournament website and Ticketmaster.
- In Germany Sporteurope.tv holds the rights and will offer an All‑Access streaming pass for €25 while pay‑TV provider Sky is slated to show many matches through its services.
- Alexander Zverev, the 2026 French Open champion, is confirmed in the main draw but arrives with uneven hard‑court form after an unexpected second‑round singles loss to Tallon Griekspoor in Montréal and a subsequent doubles defeat with Marcelo Melo.
- Cincinnati remains the final big warm‑up before Flushing Meadows and the lead‑up field is shifting as top players withdraw, with Carlos Alcaraz having announced he will not play in Cincinnati because of a wrist issue.
- Organizers have not yet confirmed 2026 prize‑money totals; 2025 paid a record $90 million for singles with equal pay for men and women, and players continue to press for a larger share of tournament revenue.
