Standout field announced for American Collegiate Player Wildcard Playoffs

The USTA announced the field of standout American collegiate players that will compete for entry into the US Open at the American Collegiate Player Wildcard Playoffs, set to be held at the USTA National Campus’ Collegiate Center, June 16-18. 

Six wild card entries into the 2026 US Open (four singles, two doubles) will be awarded via the second-year playoff event. The winners of the four-player men’s and women’s singles playoff and four-team men’s and women’s doubles playoff will earn US Open main draw singles and doubles wild cards, respectively, while the men’s and women’s singles finalists will earn US Open Qualifying wild cards.

The full fields are below, listed by the schools with which each player or team competed in 2025-26. Players appearing in bold automatically qualified based on having reached the finals of the NCAA Singles or Doubles Championships in the fall.

The remaining selections were made based on a number of criteria, including 2025-26 match record, ITA ranking, ATP/WTA ranking, professional and head-to-head results, and more.

All singles and doubles matches will be played with a best-of-three-set format featuring regular scoring, with a 10-point tiebreak at 6-all in the third set. 

Admission is free. Cracked Racquets will provide streaming coverage.
