    ABOUT OPEN COURT

    Public access, with context.

    This is a curated starting directory, not an exhaustive index of every U.S. court. Sources were researched on November 10, 2026. Every entry links to its official court or government source.

    “In-page player” means an official player can be loaded here; it does not mean a proceeding is currently live. Schedules are manually researched snapshots, not a continuously refreshed calendar. Scheduled sessions sort first and expire automatically. “Scheduled now” requires a published start and end; a start time alone is never treated as live. No players are loaded to check status. Broadcast status is not automatically monitored. Courts can end streams, change links or disable embedding.

    Federal access varies. The Ninth Circuit provides live video of oral arguments. The Supreme Court and Federal Circuit sources here provide audio. There is no universal federal trial video feed.

    Follow each court’s viewing rules. Many prohibit recording, screenshots, copying or rebroadcasting. This site does not record or archive proceedings. Captions depend on the source player.
