Overview

  • The United States Tennis Association unveiled plans for an $800 million, self-funded renovation of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, marking the largest single investment in US Open history.
  • Arthur Ashe Stadium will receive a new grand entrance, expanded concourses, 2,000 additional courtside seats, and two new luxury suite levels, while maintaining its near 24,000-seat capacity.
  • A $250 million, two-story player performance center will include redesigned locker rooms, expanded fitness areas, and spa-like amenities to enhance player comfort and performance.
  • Construction will be phased to begin after the 2025 US Open, ensuring no disruption to play or fan access during the 2025 and 2026 tournaments, with completion targeted for 2027.
  • The project reflects the USTA's commitment to maintaining world-class facilities without public funding, continuing its long-term investment in the US Open's legacy and economic impact.
