Who’s calling the US Open?
The voices you’ll hear on ESPN — the booth, the hosts, the courtside reporters — and, below them, exactly which channel carries which court.
The voices
Meet the booth
Who you’ll actually hear calling the 2026 US Open on ESPN, by role — from the lead booth to the courtside reporters.
This is ESPN’s own 2026 US Open roster, published 24 August 2026 — not last year’s team. ESPN gives a role for only a few of them, so I list the ones it named and leave the rest unroled rather than guess. Six voices from ESPN’s 2025 US Open booth are not on the 2026 list: Chris Evert, Brad Gilbert, Darren Cahill, Pam Shriver, Rennae Stubbs and Sloane Stephens. Verified 2026-08-25.
All the matches, or just the big ones?
The coverage map
The clearest answer to “can I watch every match?” The TV channels show the featured matches; the ESPN app streams all of them.
The pattern is the whole answer: the TV channels — ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC — show you the featured matches on the show courts, while the ESPN app streams every court, plus qualifying and Fan Week. To follow an early-round match on Court 12, you need the app. See what each option costs →
The booth roster is ESPN’s own, from the talent list it published on 24 August 2026 via its press room, checked 2026-08-25. ESPN names a role for only some of the team, so the rest are listed without one — I’d rather show you an unroled name than invent a job for it. Coverage reflects the US Open’s standard US pattern (featured matches on the channels, every court on the ESPN app).
