The annual week between summer camp and the start of yeshiva has long been a time for families to reconnect and find engaging activities. This year, the U.S. Open is offering a fresh take on its beloved Fan Week, presenting a can’t-miss opportunity for a free and exciting outing from August 18-23 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
For those in the community who have made Fan Week a tradition, this year brings an exceptional lineup of new experiences alongside fan favorites. The grounds are free to enter all six days, allowing families to witness world-class tennis and enjoy a vibrant atmosphere without the cost of a main draw ticket.
New Events Take Center Court
The excitement kicks off with the U.S. Open Qualifying Tournament, where 256 of the world’s most talented players compete for a spot in the main draw, all of which you can watch up close and for free.
A major addition for 2025 is the new U.S. Open Mixed Doubles Championship, taking place on Tuesday, August 19, and Wednesday, August 20. This blockbuster event pits star-studded teams against each other in a new format, with the championship finale lighting up Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday evening. On Thursday, the action continues with the Stars of the Open exhibition, a showcase of today’s top players and legendary tennis icons.
Kosher Convenience on the Grounds
A key feature for the community’s convenience is the availability of kosher food. Located near court 12, the Glatt Kosher cart provides a menu of traditional items, including Sweet Italian Sausage with Peppers & Onions, a BBQ Brisket Sandwich, a Hot Pastrami Sandwich, a Chicken Caesar Wrap, and a Turkey Wrap, among other items. Vegetarian and gluten-free options with or without modifications are also available, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a delicious meal without worrying about kashrus.
To get the most out of your visit, make sure to register for the free Fan Access Pass at fanpass.usopen.org, which provides special entry to events and other benefits. It’s an opportunity to end the summer with a championship-level experience that’s perfect for the whole family.
