Add Page Six on Google The Williams sisters are back on the court.
For the first time in four years, Serena and Venus Williams are returning to the US Open as a doubles team.
Both sisters have already competed separately at the 2026 tournament: Serena and Carlos Alcaraz reached the quarterfinals of the mixed doubles championship, while Venus lost her first-round singles match to Sofia Kenin on Sunday night.
Read on for everything you need to know to catch every minute of their highly antcipated match from home — for free. (After all, when it comes to prices, there’s plenty to love about zero.)
The Williams sisters are taking on Hao-Ching Chan and Maya Joint in the US Open 2026 doubles tournament on Sept. 3, 2026 at 7 p.m. ET, airing on ESPN2.
Serena faced off with Joint at Wimbledon in June — for the first singles match of her comeback — though she ultimately faced a four-set loss.
