The 2025 U.S. Open kicks off this Sunday, Aug. 24, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, NY. Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka enter this year’s tennis tournament as the defending champions of their 2024 singles titles. But they’ll have plenty of star power to contend with on the court. Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Jack Draper, Ben Shelton and Novak Djokovic are competing on the men’s side. Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Mirra Andreeva, Madison Keys, Jasmine Paolini take to the court on the women’s. Plus, Venus Williams is back at the U.S. Open, continuing her comeback quest. She’ll face Karolina Muchova in the first round.
The U.S. Open will air on ESPN and also stream on ESPN (formerly ESPN+). Here’s everything you need to know about tuning into the tennis tournament, plus the full broadcast and streaming schedule.
How to watch the U.S. Open:
Dates: Aug. 24 - Sept. 7

Streaming: ESPN (formerly ESPN+)
When is the U.S. Open?
The 2025 U.S. Open tournament begins in earnest on Sunday, Aug. 24. The women’s tennis tournament runs through Saturday, Sept. 6. The men’s tournament runs through Sunday, Sept. 7.
2025 U.S. Open channel:
The majority of the U.S. Open tennis tournament will air on ESPN and ESPN2. Select matches — including the men’s singles final — will air on ABC.
If you don’t have cable, you can stream all the action on every court via ESPN’s newly expanded and rebranded streaming platform, formerly known as ESPN+. In the schedule below, we’re continuing to call ESPN’s streaming platform ESPN+, for clarity about where exactly you can catch select matches.
How to watch the 2025 U.S. Open without cable:
ESPN's new streaming service is divided into two tiers: the ESPN Unlimited package and the ESPN Select package.
For $29.99, the ESPN Unlimited package includes access to all of ESPN's linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNews and ESPN Deportes, plus access to programming on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+ and ACCNX. That means fans will get coverage of more than 47,000 live events each year, on-demand replays, original programming and more.
Right now, for a limited time, you can bundle ESPN Unlimited with Disney+ and Hulu and pay $29.99/month for 12 months — that's like getting those other services free for a year! Even if you're a current subscriber to Disney+, Hulu or even the bundle, you can still upgrade to this great deal.
Not interested in a bundle? ESPN Select (the service formerly known as ESPN+) is still an option, and it appears all the U.S. Open action will stream on ESPN Select this year. For $11.99/month, you can tune in and get exclusive access to events like select NCAA football games, F1 driver cams, simulcasts of certain sports that air on other channels and PPV access to UFC fights.
DirecTV is currently offering its Choice tier (typically $108+/month with fees) for just $83 (after fees) for your first month.
DirecTV's Choice tier gets you access to all the usual sports suspects: Tennis Channel, ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox, plus plenty of regional sports networks (if you want to avoid paying the RSN fees, the Entertainment Tier has plenty of those same channels, though it doesn't include the Tennis Channel).
Whichever package you choose, you'll get ESPN's new unlimited streaming package included free, and unlimited Cloud DVR storage! If you add on a Gemini start device for $10/month, you can get the Disney+ and Hulu bundle thrown in for free too.
The best part is that you can try all this out free for five days. So if you're interested in trying out a live-TV streaming service for the U.S. Open, but aren't ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV.
