    Three kinds of seats on one chart

    Louis Armstrong Stadium's seating chart has three ticket types, and the section number tells you which one you hold. The 2026 US Open seating chart for the stadium, published in Ticketmaster's US Open buying guide, shows:

    • Courtside Reserved, sections 1 to 18: the inner ring of sections closest to the court, wrapping all four sides.
    • Loge Reserved, sections 101 to 124: a ring of reserved sections directly behind the courtside ring.
    • General admission: the larger outer and upper areas, first come, first served, open to grounds-pass holders and Arthur Ashe Stadium ticket holders.

    RateYourSeats' section directory lists the same two reserved ranges, 1 to 18 and 101 to 124. An Armstrong ticket for a session buys a specific reserved seat in one of these ranges. A grounds pass does not; it gets you into the general admission areas, if there is room when you arrive.

    The US Open has shifted some upper-level general admission areas to reserved seating in recent years, so the share of the stadium that is general admission is smaller than when it opened in 2018. Check the seat map at purchase to see whether a listing is a numbered seat.

    How the sections are numbered around the court

    Both reserved rings are numbered clockwise, starting at one baseline. On the 2026 chart, section 1 sits behind the center of one baseline, and the numbers climb around the court:

    • Behind one baseline: courtside sections 1 and 18, with Loge 101, 102 and 124 behind them.
    • First sideline: courtside 4, 5 and 6, with Loge 105 through 109 behind them. The chair umpire's stand is on this side.
    • Behind the other baseline: courtside 9 and 10, with Loge 112, 113 and 114 behind them.
    • Second sideline: courtside 13, 14 and 15, with Loge 117 through 121 behind them.
    • Corners: courtside 2, 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 16 and 17, with Loge 103, 104, 110, 111, 115, 116, 122 and 123 behind them.

    The center sideline sections are courtside 5 and 14 and Loge 107 and 119. Loge 102 and 124 are marked as a separate reserved category on the 2026 chart, so a listing in those two sections may be priced or packaged differently from the rest of the Loge.

    Baseline or sideline: which view to buy

    Behind the baseline

    Tennis is best read from behind the court. From the baseline ends (courtside 1, 18, 9 and 10, and the Loge sections behind them) you see the depth, height and spin of every shot the way the television broadcast shows it, and you never turn your head to follow a rally. A seat a dozen or more rows up behind the baseline is the classic tennis view, and in a stadium this size it is still close.

    Along the sideline

    Sideline seats put you closer to the players between points and at changeovers, and the center sections give the most intimate view of a match. The trade-off is constant head-turning during rallies, and the lowest sideline rows on the umpire's side look past the chair umpire's stand, line judges, ball crew and players' chairs for part of the court. Tennis convention puts the players' chairs beside the umpire, so the side with courtside 4 to 6 is the side where players sit at changeovers.

    The corners

    Corner sections give a diagonal view that combines some of the depth of the baseline with the closeness of the sideline. They are usually a sound middle choice when the center sections are sold out.

    Loge, general admission and the upper bowl

    The Loge ring is one step up from courtside, and that height is often an advantage. You see the whole court, including the lines, without anyone in your sightline, and the stadium is small enough that a Loge seat is far closer to the court than a comparable seat in Arthur Ashe Stadium's upper deck.

    General admission fills the outer and upper parts of the bowl, beyond the Loge ring. It is first come, first served, and it gets crowded when a popular player is on court. Fans relying on a grounds pass for a big match should arrive early, before the previous match ends, and be ready to wait for seats to open between sets. As at any tennis venue, expect to wait for a changeover before you can walk to your seat.

    Sun, shade and the roof

    Day-session play usually starts in late morning, so the sun pattern is the reverse of an evening sporting event. One shade guide reports that seats on the west side begin the first match in the sun and fall into shade after a few sets. Another guide notes that the roof structure shades much of the Loge sideline during day sessions, while the low courtside rows are the most exposed to the sun.

    Evening sessions remove the sun question, and when rain closes the retractable roof the whole bowl is covered. For a heat-sensitive fan at a day session, a Loge or upper sideline seat on the side that shades earliest is the safer buy than a low courtside seat.

    Wheelchair-accessible seating

    The 2026 chart marks wheelchair-accessible positions in both reserved rings. In the courtside ring they sit at the back of sections 3, 5, 8, 12, 14 and 17. Around the Loge they are shown beside sections 106, 108, 118 and 120 and at the baseline ends behind sections 101, 102, 112, 113, 114 and 124. That spread means accessible seating is available behind both baselines, along both sidelines and in the corners.

    Request accessible seats when buying, and check the US Open's official site for the tournament's current accessibility services and policies, which are set each year.

    Frequently asked questions

    What are Courtside and Loge seats at Louis Armstrong Stadium?

    Courtside Reserved is the inner ring of sections 1 to 18, closest to the court. Loge Reserved is the ring directly behind it, sections 101 to 124. General admission fills the outer and upper areas.

    Which sections are behind the baseline at Louis Armstrong Stadium?

    On the 2026 chart, courtside sections 1 and 18 sit behind one baseline and 9 and 10 behind the other. In the Loge, 101, 102 and 124 are behind one baseline and 112 to 114 behind the other.

    What are the best seats at Louis Armstrong Stadium?

    A baseline seat a dozen or more rows up gives the classic tennis view. For value, the Loge sections, especially those near the center sideline, see the whole court from just above the courtside ring.

    Is Louis Armstrong Stadium general admission?

    Partly. Sections 1 to 18 and 101 to 124 are reserved and need an Armstrong ticket; the outer and upper areas are general admission for grounds-pass and Ashe ticket holders, first come, first served.

    Where is wheelchair seating at Louis Armstrong Stadium?

    The 2026 chart shows wheelchair positions at the back of courtside sections 3, 5, 8, 12, 14 and 17, and next to or at the ends of several Loge sections, including 101, 106, 108, 113, 118 and 120.

    Which seats are in the shade at Louis Armstrong Stadium?

    A shade guide reports that the west side starts day sessions in the sun and moves into shade after a few sets, and another notes that the roof structure shades much of the Loge sideline.
