The U.S. Open tennis tournament is currently taking place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York. The main draw began on August 30, with third-round matches commencing on Friday, September 4. As the year’s final Grand Slam event, the tournament will conclude with the women’s final on September 12 and the men’s final on September 13.
ESPN maintains exclusive broadcasting rights in the United States, offering coverage across multiple platforms. Matches air on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC, while ESPN Unlimited subscribers can stream all courts through the ESPN app. The network has also introduced a new “RedZone at the US Open” stream available to ESPN Unlimited members, featuring a seven-hour daily feed that rotates between all 16 courts to capture key moments and match points.
For viewers without cable subscriptions, several streaming options are available. Sling TV carries ESPN and ESPN2 through its Sling Orange plan starting at $45.99 monthly, or a more affordable Essentials plan at $19.99 monthly. Temporary passes are also offered, with three-day and seven-day options priced at $9.99 and $14.99 respectively. ESPN Unlimited, the company’s standalone streaming service priced at $31.99 per month, represents the most comprehensive option for tournament coverage.
ESPN’s relationship with the U.S. Open has been strengthened through a new 12-year media-rights agreement beginning this year, extending the partnership through 2037 and expanding streaming capabilities for future tournaments.
