Watch Aryna Sabalenka vs Elena Rybakina live streams in the US Open 2026 women’s final as the top two ranked players in the women’s game come face to face across the net in the Arthur Ashe Stadium at Flushing Meadows, New York on Saturday.
A truly fascinating women’s tournament has culminated in a replay of this year’s Australian Open final from the very beginning of the year. Rybakina came out on top that day after a ding dong battle over the course of a gruelling three sets and a match-time of more than two hours. And now, six-and-half months later, the Kazakhstan player has also managed to topple the Belarusian from the summit of the world rankings.
The path to the final has been far from smooth for either player. Rybakina found herself a set down to both Coco Gauff and Qinwen Zheng in her previous two matches, but managed to find the shots and the resolve to battle back. Although Sabalenka has only lost one set herself, she came within a third set tiebreak from a quarter-final defeat to Wimbledon champ Linda Nosková. So which Eastern European player will taste glory in Queens on Saturday?
Here’s how to live stream Sabalenka vs Rybakina in the 2026 US Open final from anywhere, including worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free live streams.
