2026 US Open Printable Schedule: PDF, Sessions and Finals

Download the 2026 US Open printable schedule PDF

Download our free 2026 US Open printable schedule PDF for the complete 15-day main-draw calendar, session guide and finals times. The file is formatted for US Letter paper, works in color or grayscale and needs no signup. It is a schedule planner, not a draw sheet: use it to track when each round happens and write in the players or matches you care about after assignments become official.

What is inside the two-page planner

What the static PDF intentionally leaves blank

The blank space is deliberate. A tournament calendar and an order of play answer different questions. This PDF can tell you that first-round singles run August 30–September 1 or that women’s semifinals are on September 10. It cannot honestly lock every player onto a court weeks in advance. The order of play supplies the player, court, sequence and “not before” details, and it is generally published the evening before the relevant session.

A draw or bracket is different again: it shows who can meet whom and lets you follow winners through the field. If your question is “When is the women’s final?” use this schedule. If it is “Who could Sabalenka meet in the quarterfinal?” use a draw. If it is “Which court is that match on tomorrow?” use the official order of play and this site’s live schedule today.

The file is based on information checked August 30, 2026. Keep the printed round dates as your stable framework, then add names in pencil after each daily release. Weather, a long preceding match or an operational change can still move an actual start. That stable-versus-live split is the planner’s central design choice: it remains useful across the fortnight because it leaves room for real updates instead of pretending every detail is fixed.

2026 US Open day-by-day main draw schedule

The 2026 US Open main draw runs for 15 days, from Sunday, August 30 through Sunday, September 13. Men’s and women’s singles begin with a three-day first round, then use two days per round through the quarterfinals. The women’s and men’s events separate for semifinals and finals during the last four days.

This table is about the featured singles progression. Doubles, juniors, wheelchair and other events overlap portions of the fortnight, so the grounds can host meaningful tennis even when the primary Arthur Ashe program is a semifinal or final. Women’s doubles concludes at noon on September 11; men’s doubles concludes at noon on September 12.

Qualifying ran from August 24 through August 27 inside the larger Fan Week program, which officially began August 23. That full-event opening is useful for visitors, but it must not blur the answer to the schedule keyword: August 30 is Day 1 of the men’s and women’s singles main draws in this printable calendar.

A date still does not identify your player. First-round competitors are split across August 30, August 31 and September 1, and subsequent halves continue on different days. The ESPN coverage calendar can confirm a broadcast window, but it is not a promise that a specific player starts at that minute. Use the live US Open schedule to confirm which names belong to each date before buying around one favorite or writing them onto the PDF.

How day and night sessions work

A “day and night” label on the printable schedule describes separate show-court programs, not one reserved seat that automatically covers both. Arthur Ashe Stadium and, during the early rounds, Louis Armstrong Stadium sell session-specific reserved tickets. The name of the stadium and whether the ticket says day or evening determine where your reserved seat works.

Ticket and access comparison

Opening day shows why broad labels need detail. ATP’s August 30 order put Arthur Ashe’s day program from noon and evening program from 7 p.m.; Louis Armstrong began at 11 a.m. by day and 7 p.m. at night; Grandstand started at 11 a.m. and later listed a match “not before 5 p.m.” Those are court-level planning anchors, not universal match appointments. A “followed by” match begins only after the prior contest and changeover finish.

Availability changes as the field shrinks. Grounds Admission is listed for day sessions from August 30 through September 8. Louis Armstrong offers day sessions for the first nine days and evening sessions for the first seven, while Grandstand reserved seating is sold for the first seven days as a day product. Arthur Ashe remains the main ticketed stadium through the finals.

A practical session-planning rule

Print the calendar for dates and rounds, then read the exact ticket product before purchase. Match your target player to the daily order of play, identify the stadium and session, and only then choose a ticket. The site’s 2026 US Open ticket buying guide explains the products in more depth. If the order of play changes, the stadium/session printed on the ticket still controls the reserved seat.

Semifinals and finals weekend times

The 2026 women’s singles final is Saturday, September 12 at 4 p.m. ET, and the men’s singles final is Sunday, September 13 at 2 p.m. ET. The late-round program begins Thursday evening with both women’s semifinals and includes the two men’s semifinals in separate Friday sessions. These published starts are stable enough to print, although ceremonies and tournament operations can still affect the precise first point.

Championship-week timetable

*ESPN identifies the men’s doubles stream as available in the ESPN App for ESPN Unlimited plan subscribers. Check current provider access before the event.

Do not confuse a preview with a match start. ABC’s men’s championship preview begins at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday; the final is listed for 2 p.m. The women’s championship broadcast begins at its 4 p.m. listed event time. If you are attending, use the ticket’s gate guidance rather than a television window to plan arrival.

Finals time-zone shortcuts

For a single late-round view, bookmark the US Open finals schedule. The PDF keeps these Eastern Time anchors in one place; the live page is where to recheck any official change before travel or a watch party.

Why the daily order of play still matters

A printable 2026 US Open schedule answers the big planning question—which round is played on which date?—but it cannot tell you exactly who plays on Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium or an outer court. That information belongs to the daily order of play. The 2026 publication pattern is already clear: ATP posted Sunday’s Day 1 order on Saturday, August 29. Treat the PDF as your two-week framework and the newest daily listing as the live layer placed on top.

The distinction is already visible on opening day. The ATP’s official Day 1 schedule, published on August 29 for Sunday, August 30, listed Arthur Ashe’s day session from noon and night session from 7 p.m. Louis Armstrong began at 11 a.m. by day and 7 p.m. at night, while Grandstand included a match marked “not before 5 p.m.” Those named players, court assignments and sequencing notes are precisely the details that a static tournament calendar should not pretend to know weeks in advance.

Read “from,” “followed by” and “not before” correctly

“From 11 a.m.” establishes the start of a court’s program. “Followed by” means the next match begins only after the earlier match and court changeover are complete. For example, ATP placed Carlos Alcaraz second in Monday’s Arthur Ashe day session, following Aryna Sabalenka against Camila Osorio; it did not promise an exact Alcaraz first-serve time. “Not before 5 p.m.” sets an earliest possible time, not a guarantee. A long five-set match or rain interruption can push followed matches later even while the printed tournament date stays correct.

This is why the most useful planner has two speeds. Circle the fixed dates now—your session, a semifinal or a final—then add player-level details in pencil when the official order appears. The WTA’s tournament order-of-play page also provides date filters for qualifying and main-draw days, while the US Open’s own schedule surface lets fans move across all 15 main-draw dates. Used together, those live sources prevent the common mistake of treating a round calendar as a promise that a particular player will appear in a particular session.

Planning rule: rely on the PDF for dates and rounds; rely on the latest order of play for players, courts and sequence. If the two seem to conflict, follow the live official listing.

How to print and use the planner without missing a match

Start by saving the 2026 US Open printable schedule PDF to your device instead of printing from a browser preview. The verified file has two compact US Letter pages, with main-draw dates from Sunday, August 30 through Sunday, September 13. Give the saved copy a recognizable name, such as US-Open-2026-planner.pdf, so it does not disappear among ticket confirmations and travel documents.

Recommended print settings

• Select US Letter paper and portrait orientation. If you use A4 or your printer trims an edge, choose Fit in the print dialog.
• Use normal or economy quality. The planner relies on text, rules and light shading, so it remains usable in black and white.
• Print single-sided when you want both pages beside each other on a wall. Print double-sided when you want a portable sheet for a bag or desk.
• Check the preview before committing. Adobe notes that Actual size applies no scaling and can crop a page that is larger than the printer’s available area; Fit scales it to that area.
• Adobe Reader can also place multiple PDF pages on one sheet. Use that option only for a pocket copy; the smaller notes fields are harder to write in.

Next, make the planner personal without making it brittle. Circle the dates for your ticketed sessions or must-watch rounds in ink because those are the stable anchors. Add player names, courts and sequencing in pencil only after the daily order of play appears. A short notation keeps the page readable: use “F” for a match that follows the previous contest and “NB 5” for a 5 p.m. not-before start. That reminds you which entries are estimates rather than appointments.

At home, pin the calendar near the television and use the notes area for the two matches you care about most each day. At the grounds, fold the sheet once and photograph both sides. The photo gives you an offline backup if connectivity is slow, but do not mistake it for a live update. Before leaving for Queens—and again before moving to a different court—open the US Open schedule today to confirm the latest order, court and session.

The paper and live schedule solve different problems. The PDF makes the 15-day tournament easy to scan and helps a household plan around rounds and finals. The live page reflects operational changes that no downloaded file can anticipate. Keep both within reach and the planner becomes a useful control center rather than an outdated promise.
