The 2026 U.S. Open runs from August 30 through September 13 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, NY, and fans have several ways to catch every match.
Television channels carrying the competition
Traditional broadcasts include the sports network ESPN and its sister channel ESPN2, which will air the entire event. The Spanish‑language feed ESPN Deportes also carries all sessions. ABC will limit its coverage to the three Sundays, the round‑of‑16 round, and the men’s championship preview and final.
Online services that stream the matches
For viewers who prefer digital platforms, Disney+ offers day‑one coverage, while YouTube TV subscribers can add the sports network at no extra charge if their package includes it.
Sling Essentials, Sling Essentials & Select, and Sling Orange all provide access to the same channel, and a 24‑hour trial starts at $4.99.
Its own subscription, ESPN Unlimited, begins at $31.99 per month.
Bundling options exist, too.
Hulu customers can pair Disney+ and the sports network for $35.99 monthly.

Fubo carries ESPN Unlimited, and certain DirecTV packages—MySports, MySports & MyNews Duo, or Signature—include the channel as well.
Many of these services run limited‑time trials, so a viewer could potentially watch the whole competition without paying full price. Trials typically require a credit card but can be canceled before the billing date.
Because the lineup of providers is so wide, fans often have to weigh convenience against cost.
Those who already subscribe to a cable bundle may find the simplest path is to enable it through their existing account.
For cord‑cutters, the day‑one option on Disney+ or a short‑term ESPN Unlimited trial can be a cost‑effective way to see the finals without a long‑term commitment.
Among the players, the doubles wild‑card pair of Venus Williams and Serena Williams draws extra attention.
Women’s first‑round highlights include Elena Rybakina versus Thea Frodin, Venus Williams against Sofia Kenin, and Tatjana Maria versus Jelena Ostapenko.

Singles start on Sunday, August 30, while doubles begin on Monday, September 1.
The women’s doubles final is set for Friday, September 11; the women’s singles final follows on Saturday, September 12, and the men’s doubles final shares that day.
