USTA and Marvel Release New Spider-Man Comic for 2026 US Open Fan Week

The free, collectible giveaway uses borough-specific limited covers and on-site Fan Access Pass scans to boost attendance and connect the tournament to New York identity.

Overview

  • The USTA announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with Marvel to produce an original Spider-Man comic tied to the US Open theme "Celebrating Our New York Story."
  • More than 40,000 print copies will be handed out for free during US Open Fan Week with distribution on a first-come, first-serve basis to fans who scan their Fan Access Pass at the giveaway tent.
  • A limited-edition set of borough covers will be issued in a blind-bag surprise to the first 1,000 fans each day from August 24–28, creating scarcity for collectible seekers.
  • The comic follows Spider-Man chasing the villain Scorpion across all five New York boroughs and highlights local landmarks including the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center.
  • This is the third consecutive year of USTAMarvel print collaborations and the first to feature New York’s Spider-Man, a move the USTA says will deepen fan experience and could draw new, younger audiences given recent renewed interest in the franchise.
