Before the U.S. Open turns Flushing Meadows into the center of the tennis universe, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center throws open its gates for Fan Week, eight days of free practices, exhibitions, concerts and family-friendly programming that offers all the excitement of the year's final Grand Slam—without the price tag.
This year's Fan Week runs August 23 to 29 and includes a packed lineup of can't-miss events. Fans can hear directly from the sport's biggest stars during US Open Media Day inside Arthur Ashe Stadium and then listen to Sounds of the Open, the annual free concert that transforms the South Plaza into an open-air music venue. Past performers have included Leon Bridges, DNCE and LANY.
Check out the full list of free activities, which include Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, open practices and qualifying matches.
