How much did each 2026 US Open singles champion receive?

Each 2026 US Open singles champion received $5.5 million.

The amount applied equally to the men’s and women’s singles champions. Alexander Zverev won the men’s title, while Elena Rybakina won the women’s title, so both champions received the same singles winner’s prize.

The figure was the largest singles champion payout in tennis history at the time of the tournament. It should not be confused with the total player-compensation package, which reached $108 million across the event.

The 2025 US Open singles champions each received $5 million. That earlier figure is a plausible mix-up because it was also a record when announced, but the 2026 tournament increased the winners’ prize.
