The 2025 U.S. Open Tennis Championships will run from Monday, August 26 through Sunday, September 8, delivering two weeks of high-stakes court action from the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York. With DirecTV, viewers can access comprehensive coverage across the entire tournament, from early morning matches to primetime feature showdowns.
During the first week (Aug 26 – Sept 2), coverage spans dozens of early-round clashes every day, followed by the intense Round of 16 and quarterfinals through Sept 4. The semifinals take center court between Sept 5 and 6, leading up to the dramatic women’s and men’s finals on Sept 7 and 8, respectively.
All match times are scheduled in Eastern Time (ET), aligned with New York City. Viewers tuning in from Central (CT), Mountain (MT), or Pacific (PT) time zones will need to adjust accordingly. For example, a match starting at 7:00 PM ET will air at 6:00 PM CT, 5:00 PM MT, and 4:00 PM PT. With DirecTV’s court-specific feeds and multichannel coverage, you won’t miss a single serve—no matter where you are in the U.S.
U.S. Open coverage on DirecTV spans multiple networks, each handling different aspects of the tournament. From early morning matches to prime-time showdowns under the lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium, viewers can catch every set through a strategic combination of national sports broadcasters.
Early rounds of the tournament – especially during the first five days – are mainly broadcast on USA Network, offering multiple hours of live matches starting mid-morning and continuing through the evening. This includes simultaneous play across different courts, with commentary tailored to up-and-coming players and big-name favorites alike.
As the bracket narrows, NBC steps in with elevated coverage. Their weekend packages cover high-stakes matches, such as quarterfinals and beyond, with more dramatic storytelling and seasoned commentators. Night matches and marquee singles faceoffs often receive more polished production under NBC's prime-time banner.

To track every match of the U.S. Open, start with the most reliable resource—DirecTV’s channel lineup. Multiple networks split the broadcast coverage, so knowing exactly where to tune in saves time and eliminates missed points.
Channel assignments may vary slightly depending on your region and package tier, but these numbers reflect the national DirecTV lineup.
Don’t guess—use the onscreen electronic program guide. Press GUIDE on your DirecTV remote, then type in “U.S. Open” with the search function. This filters the broadcast lineup by keyword, surfacing all airing times across networks. You’ll see the station, match start time, and match stage in one view.
For even more precision, head to the official DirecTV website. Use the Guide tool under the TV Listings section. From there, filter by date range, genre (Sports > Tennis), or network. The interface displays match previews, time slots, and even genre tags like “Live” or “Encore”. Bookmark this tool—it updates every 24 hours with the most current broadcast schedule.
Peacock provides extensive streaming coverage of the U.S. Open, offering live broadcasts of select early round matches, featured courts, and daily highlight recaps. The service also delivers exclusive studio shows and real-time analysis, all accessible via its digital platform.
To stream U.S. Open content with Peacock, an active Peacock Premium subscription is required. As of 2025 , Peacock Premium is priced at $5.99/month with ads, or $11.99/month for the ad-free version. The matches stream in HD resolution with support for wide-screen playback on compatible devices including smart TVs, mobile phones, laptops, and streaming sticks like Roku and Fire TV.
Featured content includes:
The DirecTV app extends access to U.S. Open matches beyond the living room. Subscribers can use the app to stream live broadcasts directly from their mobile devices or tablets, provided the device is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data.
To start streaming:
The app also lets users manage and play DVR recordings remotely. Once a match is recorded on the home receiver, you can access it from the “Recorded” tab in the app. Playback is available in full resolution with fast-forward, rewind, and bookmarking features enabled.
Looking to stream a rain-delayed match or rewatch match point from a historic rally? The DirecTV app bridges that gap with real-time mobility and access.
The DirecTV Sports Pack adds over 40 regional and specialty sports networks to your subscription. Included in the lineup are channels like MSG, NESN, SEC Network, and regional FOX Sports networks that focus on local team coverage. As of 2025 , the Sports Pack comes with an added monthly cost of $14.99.
This add-on is designed for fans of college sports, regional matchups, and niche sports content. It includes access to channels such as CBS Sports Network, ESPNU, beIN SPORTS, and Outdoor Channel. However, not all of these channels carry Grand Slam tennis tournaments like the U.S. Open.
No, the Sports Pack is not required to watch the U.S. Open on DirecTV. The tournament is broadcast nationally and is available through channels already included in most of DirecTV’s standard packages. ESPN and ESPN2 carry the bulk of the coverage, while ABC airs select weekend matches and the finals. These channels are available in DirecTV’s Entertainment, Choice, Ultimate, and Premier packages.
Because the U.S. Open is a nationally televised event, access does not rely on regional sports networks, so the Sports Pack brings no added benefit for fans following this tournament. Upgrading to this pack will not unlock any exclusive U.S. Open coverage not already available through base channels.
Choosing between packages comes down to overall interests beyond tennis. For those only tuning in for the U.S. Open, the base Entertainment or Choice plan is fully sufficient. Looking for broader college football or niche sports content year-round might justify the Sports Pack, but it won’t affect your U.S. Open experience.
DirecTV broadcasts select live sports events in 4K Ultra HD—including tennis majors like the U.S. Open—via its dedicated 4K channels. The resolution delivers four times the detail of standard HD, enhancing crowd shots, swing mechanics, and ball movement with superior clarity and dynamic contrast. Coverage depends on the broadcast rights partner, typically ESPN, and the production availability of 4K content. When offered, full matches or marquee court broadcasts get the 4K treatment.
ESPN has produced 4K feeds for select day sessions on Arthur Ashe Stadium in past U.S. Open tournaments. DirecTV typically carries this feed on channel 105 or 107, depending on scheduling logistics. For the 2025 U.S. Open, specific match listings in 4K will be finalized days prior to the tournament's start, and DirecTV updates its 4K program guide accordingly. To confirm 4K availability in real time, check your on-screen guide or visit the 4K Ultra HD section on the official DirecTV website.
Once your equipment is ready, tune directly to channel 105 or 107 for 4K content. These channels are reserved for live events and UHD movies. During the U.S. Open, matches available in 4K will be listed with a “UHD” or “4K” label in the on-screen guide. Use voice search or keyword input (e.g., "U.S. Open 4K") via the remote to jump straight to available broadcasts.
Missed a live match? While on-demand and DVR recordings are not available in 4K for all matches, many replays and highlights broadcast in standard HD will still be viewable if not included in the 4K lineup.
Whether you're juggling meetings or catching up after hours, DirecTV DVR ensures no rally goes unwatched. Take full control of your U.S. Open viewing experience by using built-in recording features that work seamlessly with the tournament’s broadcast schedule.
Use the on-screen guide to browse the U.S. Open schedule up to two weeks ahead. Navigate to the date and time of the broadcast, select the session you want, and press the Record button on your remote. You can choose to record a single airing or capture all broadcasts linked to that program.
Because a single U.S. Open session includes multiple matches, interviews, and live commentary, capturing the entire program block guarantees a comprehensive viewing experience. Sessions may run for several hours, especially during early rounds and night play. Recording the whole window avoids missing unexpected match changes, often caused by weather delays or long five-set duels.
Select the Record Series option when scheduling from the guide. This configuration automatically records all future airings under the same programming title. For fans who follow daily coverage but don’t want to set each day individually, this feature saves time and ensures consistency.
To view your recorded matches, press the List button on your remote. You'll find all U.S. Open sessions arranged chronologically. Use the arrows to navigate and filter by channel or date if needed. You can pause, fast-forward, or replay specific points during playback, ideal for analyzing critical tiebreaks or reliving iconic match points.
How many late-night thrillers will you catch on your own time this year?
Missed a key rally or a late-night upset? U.S. Open highlights appear regularly across NBC Sports, ESPN, and Tennis Channel. Each network curates its own selection of condensed match moments, interviews, and expert analysis. NBC Sports tends to emphasize marquee matchups and American players, while ESPN delivers broader coverage with game summaries and post-match pressers. The Tennis Channel focuses more on in-depth breakdowns and behind-the-scenes segments, especially during the tournament’s second week.
DirecTV’s on-screen guide integrates replay availability directly within program listings. Navigate backward in the guide to a completed match, select it, and choose “Watch” or “View Playback” if available. Not every match has an instant replay option, but all televised rounds from the Round of 64 onward are typically archived within 24 hours. For easier access, bookmark Tennis Channel or ESPN during tournament weeks — their overnight programming blocks often replay key matches in full.
The DirecTV On Demand section includes a rotating catalog of recent matches. Head to Menu > On Demand > Sports and look for U.S. Open content under the “Tennis” category. Replays are arranged by round and player, so it’s possible to jump directly into a specific third-set tiebreak or relive a particular quarterfinal clash. Content refreshes daily during the tournament window and remains for up to three weeks post-event.
For on-the-go access, the DirecTV app mirrors your subscription's on-demand inventory and live stream options. Simply open the app, search “U.S. Open,” and select from available replays or highlight reels. The app supports video bookmarks, allowing you to skip to key moments within a match.
Peacock also plays a significant role in delivering highlights and full-match replays. All night-session matches aired by NBC are uploaded as VODs and sorted by category: match type, round, and player country. Peacock Premium users unlock enhanced match archives, player interviews, and extended highlight packages updated in real time.
When the U.S. Open is underway, audience traffic spikes, and the DirecTV system may encounter stress points. The most reported issues during live tournaments include:
Three steps solve a majority of DirecTV performance issues during live sports broadcasts:
When in-home steps don’t resolve the problem, take it further:
If you're actively troubleshooting during a match, try tuning into another channel or switch to the Peacock stream integrated in the DirecTV app as a backup while resolving the issue in parallel. Always test solutions during non-critical viewing windows so you're ready when match point arrives.
Getting the most out of the U.S. Open on DirecTV goes beyond tuning in to the right channel. A few strategic moves will expand access, increase convenience, and enrich the overall viewing experience.
Combine DirecTV satellite broadcast with digital streaming for complete coverage. While DirecTV delivers high-definition live matches, the DirecTV app and Peacock streaming platform let you catch early-round games, alternate feeds, and exclusive interviews. Switch between them depending on where you are and what device you're using.
Why settle for a single screen? Watch live matches on your 4K TV, then switch to your phone or tablet to view press conferences, player reactions, or highlight reels during breaks. This multi-screen strategy ensures you never miss a moment, even when away from home.
Match schedules can shift, and weather delays are common in New York. Use the U.S. Open official website and apps like ESPN and CBS Sports to track live scores, start times, and draw updates throughout the tournament. These platforms push alerts and offer interactive brackets that make following your favorite player seamless.
Engage with additional layers of match data through NBC Sports and ESPN’s platforms. These provide more than video:
Streaming isn't just a backup. It’s a complement to your DirecTV setup that lets you follow the tournament from every possible angle. Ask yourself: are you watching passively, or are you experiencing every level of the U.S. Open as it unfolds?
