Key Notes on Coverage
ABC handles the three Sunday windows, including the men’s final. ESPN and ESPN2 carry the majority of the daytime and primetime sessions throughout the fortnight. ESPN Deportes provides Spanish-language coverage of most sessions.
The ESPN App’s RedZone-style feed runs during the early rounds and gives viewers the ability to jump between matches on the outer courts. ESPN Unlimited subscribers get access to every court for the entire tournament.
What to Expect on the Opening Days
The first few days of the US Open TV schedule are heavy on first-round matches spread across all 16 courts. Featured night sessions on Arthur Ashe usually begin around 7 p.m. and often run late. As the tournament moves into the second week, the schedule tightens and the focus shifts to the bigger matches on the main courts.
With the full US Open broadcast schedule now available, fans can plan ahead for the matches they want to catch live. Coverage continues daily through the men’s final on September 13.
