The USTA announced the can’t-miss lineup of world-class and fan-friendly shows, events and activities set to make this year’s US Open Fan Week the biggest and best-ever free tennis and entertainment festival preceding the US Open Singles Main Draw. US Open Fan Week – the first week of the US Open – runs August 18-23 this year at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and features free grounds admission all six days. In addition to the previously-announced, separately ticketed events taking place during Week 1 – the blockbuster US Open Mixed Doubles Championship presented by Vital Proteins played August 19-20 and the fan-favorite Stars of the Open presented by Chase held August 21 – US Open Fan Week will feature a packed schedule of free and accessible tennis and entertainment for fans and families of all ages.
Experience World-Class Entertainment and See Iconic Tennis Players Up Close – For Free
The first-ever US Open Silent Disco joins Fan Week’s lineup of free entertainment for 2025, taking place Monday, August 18, from 7-9 p.m. on the Fountain Plaza. Thousands of fans will be able to groove the night away to three different varieties of tunes – Top-40 hits; ‘80s, ‘90s and 2000s throwback; and Latin and HipHop Fusion – spun by DJs Jasmine Solano, DJ Whutever and DJ Curly Nez through green, red and blue sets of headphones, each representing one of the different playlists.
Today’s hottest music will take over the Fountain Plaza on Friday, August 22, as the fan-favorite US Open Block Party – a nighttime, festival-style celebration – returns for a second consecutive year. Legendary New York City artist, producer and DJ D-Nice returns to headline the Block Party, accompanied by renowned producer and DJ Beverly Bond and hosted by KTU’s Maxwell and Z100’s Shelley Rome.
Fan Week also continues to offer one of the best deals in sports – free grounds admission to watch the US Open Qualifying Tournament and to see the biggest stars in tennis practice up close. The Qualifying Tournament, played on the field courts of the US Open August 18-21 – features 128-draw men’s and women’s tournaments that determine the final 16 players to gain entry into each of the US Open Men’s and Women’s Singles Main Draws, which begin on Sunday, August 24. Fans can also enjoy free access to see the biggest stars in tennis practice on the US Open’s practice courts and stadiums throughout Fan Week, including featured practices in Louis Armstrong Stadium and Grandstand, as well as inside Arthur Ashe Stadium via the Arthur Ashe Stadium Experience.
