A record 239,307 spectators attended the 2025 US Open qualifying matches at the UTSA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York (USA) from 18 to 23/08/2025, announced the United States Tennis Association, organisers of the Grand Slam tournament, on 23/08/2025.

Access to the site has been free for fans during this qualifying week since 1978 and the American tournament's move to Flushing Meadows, in the Queens district. A number of promotional and entertainment events, such as concerts, exhibition matches and, this year, the mixed tournament played in a revamped format on the two main courts (Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong), drew 78,000 spectators over two days (see below).

10.78% more spectators than in 2024 (216,029), and 51.5% more than in 2023 (around 158,000), took part in "Fan Week", as it has been called since 2017 and the introduction of musical events, children's activities and workshops, racket giveaways (by Wilson), and so on. By comparison, 56,000 spectators took part in qualifying week in 2011, four times less than in 2025.
