New Yorkers, get ready! Starting Wednesday, August 26, at 10 a.m. ET, the first 1,000 New York City residents will have the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets to the 2026 US Open.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and the United States Tennis Association (USTA) announced that 1,000 tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis through USOpen.org/NYCTickets.
Eligible New York City residents can purchase up to two tickets for $100 each. The tickets are valid for main draw matches taking place from Sunday, August 30, through Tuesday, September 8, and include access to seats in Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium, as well as grounds passes.
That gives local tennis fans a chance to watch some of the world’s best players compete in both singles and doubles main draw matches at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
“The US Open already offers eight days of free grounds admission. Great crowds of fans and families are coming out to see the best players in the world practice up close, watch world-class competition with qualifying and mixed doubles and experience much more during our free-to-attend Fan Week,” said USTA CEO Craig Tiley. “Access to tennis will always be our priority, and we’re proud to be able to deliver this main draw ticket offer to the residents of New York — the home of the US Open for more than 100 years.”
The USTA celebrated the launch of the 2026 US Open with a spectacular dual drone show over New York City. For the first time, drone performances took place simultaneously above Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, home of the US Open, and over the Hudson River, with the New York City skyline providing the backdrop.
The shows highlighted this year’s US Open theme, “Celebrating Our New York Story,” and were accompanied by the tournament’s “Sonic Identity,” an orchestral composition blended with bucket drums and sounds inspired by New York City’s five boroughs.
