US Open Turns Up the Tennis Party for its 2026 Finals Fan Fest
Aug 19, 2026
The US Open is continuing to expand beyond the matches, adding another celebrity-heavy lineup for its 2026 Finals Fan Fest.
“Summer House” star Kyle Cooke, former “Bachelor” Joey Graziadei, comedian and actress Yvonne Orji, and DJ duo Tinx & Lucas will all be part of the festivities at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center during championship weekend.
Now in its third year, Finals Fan Fest gives fans a way to experience the women’s and men’s singles finals without a ticket inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. Grounds passes are available for $30 and include access to watch parties inside Louis Armstrong Stadium and Fountain Plaza.

Fans inside Louis Armstrong will even have the chance to watch the finals while sitting directly on the court.
Orji will return for a second year to help host the women’s final celebration alongside US Open commentator Nick McCarvel, while Tinx & Lucas will take over the DJ booth during Fan Hour ahead of the championship match.
The entertainment continues after the women’s final with Zedd headlining the US Open Finals Afterparty presented by DOBEL Tequila, with HoneyLuv appearing as a special guest. A separate ticket is required for the afterparty.
Sunday brings another crossover between tennis and pop culture. Joey Graziadei will co-host the men’s final celebration with tennis personality Blair Henley. Before his reality television career, Graziadei played college tennis at West Chester University.

Kyle Cooke will then step behind the DJ booth during Fan Hour ahead of the men’s singles final, adding another entertainment element to the weekend.
Finals Fan Fest will also feature the US Open Blue Carpet, fan photo opportunities, sponsor activations, giveaways and appearances from tennis legends.
The Red Ball Youth Team Invitational will bring 40 youth teams onto US Open courts as part of the weekend, adding a grassroots tennis element alongside the celebrity programming.
The broader entertainment push reflects how much the US Open has evolved into a cultural event as well as a Grand Slam tournament. With live music, DJs, celebrity hosts and interactive experiences layered around championship tennis, finals weekend is increasingly becoming a festival built around the sport.
And for fans headed to New York, the message is clear: the tennis may be the main event, but the party surrounding it keeps getting bigger.
