US Open joins hands with Marvel for special partnership ahead of 2026 edition

The US Open has announced a partnership with Marvel, teaming up for a third consecutive year for a Spider-Man comic book.

The comic will “champion” the theme of US Open 2026: “Celebrating Our New York Story”. Over 40,000 copies of the comic book will be given out to fans during the US Open Fan Week at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, a limited-edition collectible will be given out to the first 1,000 fans between August 24 and August 28, 2026.

The 2026 edition of the US Open is scheduled to be held between August 30 and September 13, 2026.

Nicole Kankam, Managing Director, Pro Tennis Marketing and Entertainment, USTA, commented:

“This is such a creative and exciting concept that brings Spider-Man to the US Open and also amplifies the celebration of our theme and New York City, with six unique covers featuring landmarks of all five boroughs.

“We’re thrilled to work with Marvel for a third consecutive year – a collaboration that continues to add to our fan experience during US Open Fan Week and undoubtedly helps to grow the game of tennis among new audiences.”

Nick Lowe, VP and Executive Editor for Marvel’s Spider-Man Comic Books, added:

“Peter Parker is the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and while he is from Queens, his neighborhood is the whole of New York City.

“We at Marvel are super excited to honor the five boroughs with our webbed-wonder, highlighting some of each borough’s stellar landmarks in the greatest city in the world, including the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center, which is the heartbeat of Queens for the next few weeks and is also one of my kids’ favorite field trip spots!”
