US Open Fan Week 2025 is right around the corner! Very soon, the best tennis players from around the world will descend upon Queens — “the world’s borough” — for a shot at the title.
But before the games begin, the pros need to qualify, which is where Fan Week comes in. The free, multi-day extravaganza is your opportunity to catch practices, the US Open Qualifying Tournament, and all the other perks of the actual event — bites, merch, pop-ups — before matches get underway.
Considering US Open tickets are a pretty penny, this is definitely something you’ll want to take advantage of. Here’s what you need to know ahead of the first serve.
