The 2026 US Open runs from August 30 to September 13, with Emirates bringing new experiences to fans at Arthur Ashe Stadium as well as special touches for passengers flying between Dubai and the United States.
One of the highlights this year is a newly designed 1,579-square-foot Emirates hospitality suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The space takes inspiration from the airline’s premium aircraft cabins, featuring cream leather seating, woodgrain finishes, contemporary interiors and views of the tennis action.

Fans who catch them could win tickets to the men’s singles semifinals.
