Defending champion Stefan Edberg defeated Pete Sampras in the final, 3–6, 6–4, 7–6(7–5), 6–2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 1992 US Open. It was his second US Open singles title and sixth and last major singles title overall.
The semifinal between Edberg and Michael Chang lasted 5 hours and 26 minutes, the longest US Open match in the Open Era at the time (later surpassed by the 2024 first-round match between Dan Evans and Karen Khachanov, at 5 hours and 35 minutes).
This tournament marked the last appearance in a singles major for two former world No. 1s: seven-time major singles champion John McEnroe and eight-time major singles champion Jimmy Connors. Both were defeated by world No. 1 players themselves: McEnroe lost to Jim Courier in the fourth round, while Connors lost to Ivan Lendl in the second round. This was Connors and Lendl's 35th and final professional meeting; Lendl won to end their head-to-head at 22–13 in his favor.
