ESPN will be rolling out NFL RedZone style coverage for the US Open.The final Grand Slam of the calendar year begins on Sunday, and those watching from home will be treated to unmatched action from all 16 courts at Flushing Meadows, all in one place.ESPN will provide RedZone-style coverage of the US Open this yearAFPRedZone at the US Open premieres Sunday at 11am ET on the ESPN App, and will run through Friday, September 4.Inspired by the NFL‘s popular whip-around viewing experience, the first for ESPN tennis will offer fast-paced, point-to-point coverage that will take fans from court to court during the action-packed early rounds.The network has not announced who will host RedZone throughout the tournament, but it will be broadcast from the Fountain Plaza set in New York.While this is ESPN’s first attempt at a whip-around tennis show, the format has been utilized by TNT Sports in their coverage of the French Open over the past two years.The ‘Worldwide Leader in Sports’ will be able to use the RedZone IP thanks to a multi-billion dollar acquisition of NFL Network earlier this year.“We’re going to be using each day a few commentators across our roster, many names you’re familiar with, to both host as the traffic cop but also to actually call the points that the viewer is seeing on the screen,” ESPN senior director of programming and acquisitions John Suchenski told Front Office Sports (FOS) of the new tennis format.“So it is not a set host and commentator roster each day. It’s really going to rotate.“We like that because it’s going to give everyone a chance to contribute and be fanned here from a lot of different voices, including many of our notable talent — John McEnroe, Patrick McEnroe, Andy Roddick, Caroline Wozniacki, etc.”Who will be part of ESPN’s US Open coverage?FOS reports that Scott Hanson — the popular host of the NFL version — will not be on US Open coverage. He remained an NFL Media employee in the ESPN acquisition.But, on top of the RedZone debut, two new personalities will also join US Open coverage in 2026.NFL RedZone legend Hanson will not be part of ESPN’s US Open coverageGettyGenie Bouchard comes on board as a tennis analyst, bringing the perspective of a former Wimbledon finalist and top five player.Jay Alter, who is well-known for calling various college sports, also makes his debut on the ESPN tennis team.Rece Davis returns to host, and ABC will broadcast all three Sundays for first-round and Round of 16 coverage, as well coverage for the Men’s Championship on Sunday, September 13.Malika Andrews and Katie George will provide on-site coverage throughout the tournament.Will ESPN use RedZone for more sports?Following ESPN’s acquisition of NFL Network, many sports fans have been wondering if the RedZone show could indeed be used beyond the NFL.We now have our first answer — and a perhaps unexpected one — with the US Open. RedZone branding could be applied to other sports by ESPN in futureGettyFOS pushed Suchenski on if the format will be used in other sports moving forward. He noted that ESPN has utilized whiparound coverage in the past with tennis, but in a more ‘methodical’ manner.The new RedZone offering promises to be a much more ‘frenetic’ pace and that it will be ‘potentially point-to-point, not necessarily game-to-game or match-to-match.’Suchenski added that ESPN might apply RedZone branding to other sports in future, but that is still ‘to be determined.’
