US Open Schedule Changes

For two weeks in late summer, the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens becomes the focal point of the world’s best players. As they make their way through four rounds of matches, the field of 128 men and women dwindles until only the last two competitors in each category are left to battle it out for the grand prize. You can watch all of the action unfold at this year’s US Open, which runs from Aug. 24 through Sept. 7.

This year’s tournament will feature some new scheduling changes, including a move to a Sunday start and a 15-day schedule. The USTA will also move the first week of men’s and women’s doubles to qualifying week, according to reports.

It’s not clear yet exactly how these changes will affect the tournament, but many fans are less than thrilled. For example, according to a report by sports insider Parsa Nemati, the men’s and women’s doubles tournament could see the event begin on Tuesday of qualifying week rather than Wednesday, which would move it out of the main draw window.

Whether you’re planning to attend the US Open or just want to keep up with all the action, you can follow the tournament on ESPN and other streaming platforms. You can also purchase tickets on Ticketmaster or Stubhub for any sessions you’d like to watch. Both websites make it easy to put your tickets up for resale if you change your mind or can’t attend, which is a great option if you’re looking to save some cash.
