US Open TV Schedule

This is the schedule for the US Open. It used to be simple. USA Network with the weekday sessions from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. and the night sessions starting from 7:30 p.m. until 11 p.m.

CBS would take over the weekends from 11:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. USA would have the night sessions.

Now with Tennis Channel and ESPN2 with the cable contracts, the start times have changed. Tennis Channel will have coverage of the outer courts starting at 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.

ESPN2 will have coverage starting mostly at 1 p.m. of the main courts until 6 p.m. Then at night, it’s all ESPN2.

CBS still has its weekend coverage schedule. The difference here is that due to college football commitments, ESPN2 will not have weekend primetime coverage. That’s been outsourced to Tennis Channel. I have the schedule so take a look at what you’ll see. It’s a new world for coverage of the US Open for the next six years.
