Tennis enthusiasts and fans of Roger Federer rejoiced as public tickets for a special exhibition featuring the Swiss maestro at the 2026 US Open Fan Week went on sale today.
The highly anticipated event, officially titled "Roger Federer: An Icon Returns to New York," saw its public ticket release on June 11 at 9 a.m. ET. This followed an exclusive presale opportunity for select groups that took place just one day prior, on June 10, giving early access to what promises to be a memorable evening.
An Evening of Legends at Arthur Ashe Stadium
Scheduled for August 25 at 7 p.m., the exhibition is set to take place in the iconic Arthur Ashe Stadium, the main court of the US Open. The venue, known for hosting countless historic moments in tennis, will once again be the stage for Federer's much-anticipated return to competitive (albeit exhibition) play in New York.
Federer will not be alone in gracing the court. He will be joined by a formidable lineup of tennis legends, ensuring an evening filled with skill, nostalgia, and entertainment. The confirmed participants alongside Federer include American tennis great Andy Roddick, the charismatic Andre Agassi, and the ever-incendiary John McEnroe. This gathering of icons guarantees a spectacle for all in attendance, celebrating the sport's rich history and some of its most beloved figures.
A Return to the Big Apple
Federer's presence in New York for the 2026 US Open Fan Week marks a significant moment for fans who have missed seeing the 20-time Grand Slam champion on court since his retirement. While not a competitive tournament match, the exhibition offers a rare chance to witness Federer and other legends showcase their enduring talent and charisma in one of tennis's grandest settings, further cementing his iconic status.
