Tysons Corner station opened as part of the first phase of the Silver Line to Wiehle–Reston East in 2014.
In the planning stages, controversy ensued over whether to build the Metro in a tunnel or on an elevated viaduct through Tysons.
It was eventually decided that the majority of the line would be built above ground, but the station was built partially below ground in order to send trains through a short tunnel connecting the line's Route 7 and Route 123-paralleling sections.

One of four Metro stations within Tysons, the station is located in the heart of the edge city.
Specifically, it lies above Chain Bridge Road (VA 123) at its intersection with Tysons Boulevard.
It is the closest station to two of the region's most important attractions,  Tysons Corner Center and Tysons Galleria, which combined house roughly 3 million square feet (280,000 m²), or half of the region's retail space.

From May 23 until August 15, 2020, this station was closed due to the Platform Reconstruction west of Ballston–MU and the Silver Line Phase II tie construction.
This station reopened beginning on August 16, 2020 when trains were able to bypass East Falls Church station.
