Moët & Chandon takes the position of Official Champagne of the US Open for a third consecutive year, and everything about the 2026 arrangement has been scaled up. The House now has a home on the grounds and a name above the door. Club de Tennis opens a short walk from Arthur Ashe Stadium and trades for the full run of the tournament, from 23 August to 13 September.

The bar is only half of it. The Moët Serve, a chilled champagne cocktail sealed inside a can modelled on a tennis ball canister, was made for a hot afternoon in Queens and for carrying between sets. It reaches a handful of Manhattan addresses as well, so the tournament can be marked without crossing the East River.

A summer at Flushing Meadows

The 146th US Open is the longest edition ever staged, running to 22 days after Fan Week opened on 23 August with Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day leading the programme. The main draw begins on Sunday 30 August, the women’s singles final falls on Saturday 12 September and the men’s follows on Sunday 13 September. Both championship matches are played under the roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium.

An $800 million transformation of the National Tennis Center is midway through its three phases, and the 2026 edition arrives with a rebuilt lower bowl, 23,933 seats and every courtside row in a new position. The courtside tier has been extended upwards, taking that section from 3,000 seats to 5,000, and the first hints of a sculptural grand entrance designed by Daniel Libeskind are visible on the approach.

Louis Armstrong Stadium holds 14,061 and shares the retractable roof arrangement with Ashe, which keeps play running whatever late summer does to New York. The Grandstand seats 8,125 and offers the closest view on the site. Last year’s tournament drew 1,144,562 people across the three weeks, the second consecutive edition to pass a million.

Club de Tennis opens its doors

Guests can order Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut, Nectar Impérial Rosé or the Moët Mimosa, each poured into the gold goblet that has become the visual signature of the Maison at Flushing Meadows.

The goblet is the detail people remember, and the one they take home. Vessels of this kind have a life well past the final point, travelling out of the gates and onto shelves, which turns a single afternoon’s pour into a keepsake with a date attached to it. Gold against hard court blue is a combination the House has worked hard at over three years.

Moët’s Best Serve

The Moët Serve is the headline addition. Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial Brut is garnished with fresh lime and sealed in a can shaped after the ball canister, then sold at the Main Bar and at selected points across the site. Opening it is the moment the House has built the whole thing around.

The format follows the liquid rather closely. Ice Impérial is the cuvée the Maison created to be poured over ice, richer and rounder than the classic Brut and designed to hold its character when chilled hard, so a portable serve is a natural extension of something that already exists. Lime sharpens it. The canister does the rest of the work.

Five decades of tennis

The House has been present at tennis since the 1970s, appearing alongside champions as they marked their victories. The relationship was formalised in 2011, when the Maison became Official Champagne of the ATP World Tour, and the US Open partnership now sits at the centre of that history.

Founded in 1743, the House has spent much of its modern life attached to public celebration, from podiums to trophy presentations. Each year at Flushing Meadows adds another chapter to a record that is now considerably longer than most of the players competing.

“We are honored to return as the Official Champagne of the US Open, a tournament whose energy, elegance and shared sense of emotion are naturally aligned with Moët & Chandon. For decades, the Maison has celebrated the world of tennis, and in 2026 we are delighted to bring a new sense of play, style and celebration to the tournament.”

Sibylle Scherer, President and CEO, Moët & Chandon

The pour across New York

For the first time the partnership programme will now extend into the city itself. Moët Serve will be available at selected bars and restaurants across New York, among them Electric Lemon in Hudson Yards, the St Regis New York, the Hard Rock Hotel and the Gansevoort, so the tournament can be marked without a ticket to Queens.

The US Open also sits within a strong sporting year for the House. Moët & Chandon returned as Official Champagne of Formula 1 in 2026 and holds title partnership of the Belgian Grand Prix, which places the Maison on two of the most watched podiums in international sport inside a single season.
