The US Open normally is the fourth and final Grand Slam tournament of each season. It will be held without spectators from 31 August to 13 September, making it be the second major of 2020, following the Australian Open, which concluded in early February.

The French Open was postponed from May because of the coronavirus pandemic and currently is scheduled to start a week after the US Open ends. Wimbledon was cancelled altogether for the first time since World War II in 1945.
