U.S. Open Extends Tournament to 15 Days with Sunday Start in 2025

The schedule change aims to accommodate record-breaking attendance and aligns with other Grand Slam tournaments' expanded formats.

The U.S. Open will begin on Sunday, August 24, 2025, marking the first weekend start in the tournament's Open Era history.
The event will expand to a 15-day main draw, matching the formats of the Australian Open and French Open.
An estimated 70,000 additional fans will gain access due to the extra day, which includes six new ticketed sessions across key stadiums.
The first rounds of the men's and women's singles matches will now be played over three days, from Sunday to Tuesday.
This change follows three consecutive years of record-breaking attendance, with no further adjustments planned for the singles schedule beyond the first round.
