Djokovic and Sabalenka US Open 2026 Live Stream Details

Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka are set to make their first appearance together in the US Open 2026 mixed doubles, facing Henry Patten and Katerina Siniakova in a Round of 16 match on Tuesday, August 25. The contest is scheduled for 8:30 PM IST at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City.

The pairing brings together Djokovic, described as a 24-time men’s Grand Slam champion, and Sabalenka, the women’s World No. 1. Their opening mixed doubles assignment comes in the revised 16-team event at the US Open, where the format includes shortened sets and a 10-point tiebreaker in place of a deciding third set.

For viewers in India, the match is scheduled for live television coverage on the Star Sports network. Live streaming will be available through the JioHotstar app and website, according to broadcaster information.

Djokovic and Sabalenka open against Patten and Siniakova

Djokovic and Sabalenka’s Round of 16 meeting with Britain’s Patten and Czech Republic’s Siniakova is their first contest in the 2026 mixed doubles draw. The match places the new partnership immediately into the knockout stage of the compact competition.

The US Open mixed doubles event has been reduced to a 16-team field and uses a shorter-match structure. Rather than playing a deciding third set if the teams split the opening sets, the match will be resolved by a 10-point tiebreaker. That format makes every set especially significant and provides a clear, fast-moving conclusion if the match is level after two sets.

The fixture is listed for Arthur Ashe Stadium, the New York City venue named in the match details. Its scheduled start time is 8:30 PM IST on Tuesday, August 25. Fans following the match should use the stated television and digital platforms for the live coverage.

The live telecast is set to be carried by Star Sports. Digital viewers can follow the match live on JioHotstar via its app and website. The broadcast and streaming information is provided for the scheduled Djokovic-Sabalenka match against Patten and Siniakova.

The match is one of the notable pairings on the mixed doubles schedule, with Djokovic and Sabalenka joining forces in the revised event. Later in the day, Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz are also set to take centre stage in the competition.

What is at stake in the revised 16-team event

The immediate objective for Djokovic and Sabalenka is a place beyond the Round of 16. Patten and Siniakova stand between them and progression in an event designed around a shortened format, meaning there is no deciding third set under the listed rules.

For the tournament, the match is part of a mixed doubles competition featuring high-profile partnerships and a streamlined structure. For viewers, it offers a scheduled prime-time IST start and clearly listed options for both television and online coverage.
