Roger Federer will return to Arthur Ashe Stadium for an exhibition event during the 2026 US Open fan week. The 20-time major champion is scheduled to appear on August 25 alongside fellow former champions Andy Roddick, Andre Agassi and John McEnroe.
The event, titled Roger Federer: An Icon, will take place at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. Federer described the venue as a place that means a great deal to him, citing many unforgettable moments from his career at the US Open. The Swiss player last competed at the tournament in 2019. He won five consecutive titles from 2004 to 2008, a record unmatched in the Open Era for men or women. Federer participated in a similar exhibition at the Australian Open earlier this year, where he played a light-hearted doubles match. Organizers expect strong ticket demand for the New York appearance.
