There's a concrete rectangle in the heart of Queens where, every late summer, the final chapter of the tennis season is written.
From August 23 to September 13, 2026, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York hosts the US Open, the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year, organized by the United States Tennis Association. Fan Week kicks things off on August 23, the main draw begins on August 30, with the women's and men's finals on September 12 and 13 respectively. For two and a half weeks, the Flushing Meadows complex becomes one of the most closely followed sporting landmarks in the world, drawing audiences, media and brands from every continent.
In New York, executive mobility isn't limited to road transfers: helicopters to beat the traffic between Manhattan and the airports, water taxis along the East River, combined transfers that weave together multiple modes into one seamless experience. Alternative solutions that, on the busiest days of the tournament, can make the difference between a simple transfer and a true travel experience. The value of a Partner like Balsamo, in these contexts, lies precisely in the ability to orchestrate the client's entire journey — from airport arrival, to managing daily transfers, to on-the-ground support for any unexpected event — with the same integrated approach we offer for major international events, wherever in the world they take place.
The tournament draws the best of international tennis every year, alongside a diverse audience of fans, executives, brand partners and institutional delegations who choose New York as a fixed late-summer destination. For those arriving from out of town or from overseas, Balsamo also offers a private jet service, designed for those who want to reach Flushing Meadows without giving up the same flexibility and discretion that accompanies every stage of the journey. An option that integrates seamlessly with the rest of our executive mobility offering, for a continuous travel experience from the first to the last mile.
This year the tournament celebrates its longest edition ever, with 22 days of events overall, a milestone that reflects the steady growth of global interest in this Grand Slam. Arthur Ashe Stadium, which seats up to 23,200 spectators, features a retractable roof, the result of more than $600 million invested in the complex's infrastructure since 2016.
