How to Watch Presidents Cup 2026 Live Stream Online
This Presidents Cup 2026 live stream guide covers every way to watch the 16th Presidents Cup from Medinah Country Club, near Chicago, on TV and online. You will find the US channels, the streaming apps that carry them, the UK, Canada and Australia broadcasters, and a VPN route for fans watching from abroad.
The short answer: Golf Channel and NBC share the US coverage from Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 September 2026. NBC rounds stream on Peacock. Golf Channel rounds stream on the Golf Channel app with a pay TV login, or through a live TV service such as YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV or DirecTV. No single service is best for everyone, so the table further down compares what each one costs and carries.

Presidents Cup 2026 TV Schedule: Golf Channel, NBC and Peacock
Golf Channel carries the weekday sessions and the early Saturday matches. NBC takes over for most of Saturday and all of Sunday. NBC Sports has not published its final on air windows yet, so the coverage column below follows the 2024 pattern. The first tee times are official.
| Day | Session | First tee (ET) | Expected US coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thu 24 Sept | 5 four-ball matches | 12:35 pm | Golf Channel from about 12:30 pm |
| Fri 25 Sept | 5 foursomes matches | 2:05 pm | Golf Channel from about 2 pm |
| Sat 26 Sept | 4 four-ball, then 4 foursomes | 8:02 am and 2:15 pm | Golf Channel early, then NBC from about 8 am to 6 pm |
| Sun 27 Sept | 12 singles matches | 12:02 pm | NBC from about noon |
Medinah runs on Central Time, one hour behind the ET times above. For UK viewers add five hours to ET, so the Thursday session begins at 5:35 pm BST. In Sydney the Thursday session starts at 2:35 am AEST on Friday morning.

Presidents Cup 2026 Live Stream in the US
One change matters this year. Golf Channel left NBCUniversal in the Versant spin off in January 2026, so Golf Channel coverage no longer streams on Peacock. A Peacock plan alone gets you the weekend only. To watch all four days on one login, use a live TV service that carries both channels.
With Cable or Satellite
If your TV package includes NBC and Golf Channel, you already have everything. Sign in with your provider details on the NBC Sports app or NBC.com for the NBC rounds, and on the Golf Channel app or GolfChannel.com for the Golf Channel rounds. There is no extra charge.
Without Cable
Cord cutters have two choices. A live TV streaming service gives you both channels in one app. Peacock is the cheaper route, but it only covers the NBC rounds on Saturday and Sunday.
| Service | Price (Sept 2026) | NBC | Golf Channel | Free trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fubo Pro | $84.99 a month, lower first month | Yes | Yes | Yes, 5 days |
| YouTube TV | $82.99 a month, $59.99 for 3 months for new users | Yes | Yes | Yes, up to 21 days |
| Hulu + Live TV | $89.99 a month with Disney+ and ESPN | Yes | Yes | Varies |
| DirecTV MySports | $64.99 a month, $49.99 first month | Yes | Yes | Yes, 5 days |
| Sling Blue + Sports Extra | About $57 a month | Select cities only | Add on only | No |
| Peacock Premium | $12.99 a month or $129.99 a year | NBC rounds only | No | No |
How to choose. If you only want the Saturday and Sunday singles, Peacock at $12.99 is the cheapest way in, and an antenna makes those two days free. If you want all four days, pick any of the first four rows, because each carries NBC and Golf Channel in its base plan. DirecTV MySports is the cheapest of those at $64.99. Sling is the trap: NBC is in select markets only and Golf Channel needs the paid Sports Extra add on, so check your postcode before you sign up.
Prices checked 9 September 2026. Peacock raised its rates in August 2026, and live TV services change promos often, so confirm on the sign up page.
Watch the Presidents Cup From Anywhere With a VPN
Streaming services lock their content to the country you signed up in. If you are travelling during Presidents Cup week, your Peacock, Fubo, Sky or Kayo login will not work abroad. A VPN fixes this by giving you an IP address back home.
A VPN routes your connection through a server in another country, so your streaming app sees a home address and plays as normal. For live golf, speed is the only spec that matters. A slow server drops the picture quality or stalls it during a session, so choose a provider with servers in your home country and test it a day or two before Thursday rather than five minutes before the first tee.
Two things worth knowing before you pay. Most streaming services list VPN use as a breach of their terms, even when you are only reaching content you already subscribe to, and some block known VPN addresses outright. Almost every provider offers a money back window, so use it to confirm your service actually loads before the Cup starts.
Quick steps to stream the Presidents Cup from anywhere:
- Install a VPN app on the device you will watch on, or on your router if you use a streaming stick.
- Connect to a server in your home country, for example the US for Peacock or Fubo.
- Open your usual streaming app and sign in with the account you already pay for.
- If the stream is blocked, switch to a different server in the same country and reload the page.
How to Watch the Presidents Cup in the UK: Sky Sports Golf and NOW
Sky Sports Golf has every session from 24 to 27 September under its PGA TOUR deal, which runs to 2029. Sky customers can stream on Sky Go. If you do not have Sky, a NOW Sports pass gives you Sky Sports with no contract, either a day membership for a single session or a monthly membership for the full week.
The Chicago time difference works in your favour. Thursday and Friday sessions start late afternoon UK time and run into the evening. Saturday coverage begins early afternoon. Sunday singles start just after 5 pm BST.
How to Watch the Presidents Cup in Canada: TSN and TSN+
TSN holds the Canadian rights through 2030, with French coverage on RDS. If TSN is in your cable package, sign in at TSN.ca or the TSN app at no extra cost. Cord cutters can subscribe to TSN+ directly, by the month or the year, and stream all four days on phone, tablet or smart TV.
In 2024 TSN picked up coverage at the first tee each day, so expect the Thursday feed from around 12:30 pm ET.
How to Watch the Presidents Cup in Australia: Fox Sports and Kayo
Fox Sports carries PGA TOUR events in Australia, and Kayo Sports streams the same feed without a Foxtel contract. Kayo Standard is $29.99 a month for one screen. Kayo has dropped its free trial in 2026, but new users can often get the first month of Kayo Premium for $1.
Sessions fall overnight for Australian viewers. Thursday four-balls tee off at 2:35 am AEST on Friday, and Sunday singles start at 2:02 am AEST on Monday. Kayo lets you watch replays and key moments the next morning. With Adam Scott and Min Woo Lee on the International side, Fox Sports usually adds Australian focused coverage during the week.
Presidents Cup Broadcasters in Other Countries
Outside the countries above, the Presidents Cup is shown by each region’s PGA TOUR rights holder. Sky Sport carries it in New Zealand and Golf Network in Japan. Sky Sports Golf also covers Ireland. If your country has no listed broadcaster, the VPN method above with a US or UK service is the simplest fix.
Can You Watch the Presidents Cup 2026 Live Stream for Free?
Yes, in two ways. In the US the NBC rounds on Saturday and Sunday are free over the air with a TV antenna. Free trials cover the rest of the week. Fubo gives new customers five days, DirecTV MySports gives five days, and YouTube TV currently offers up to 21 days. Time a trial to start on Wednesday 23 September and it covers all four days of play.
Peacock, Sky, TSN+ and Kayo no longer run free trials, so those cost at least a day or month pass. Avoid unofficial free streams. They are low quality, often carry malware, and are usually taken down mid session.
Watch the Presidents Cup on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV or Chromecast
Every service in this guide has apps for Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV and Chromecast, plus Xbox and PlayStation, iPhone and Android. Install the app, sign in with your streaming or TV provider account, and you are set. If you are using a VPN on a streaming stick, install the VPN app on the stick itself or on your router.
Presidents Cup 2026 Live Stream FAQs
What channel is the Presidents Cup 2026 on?
Golf Channel and NBC share the US coverage. Golf Channel carries Thursday, Friday and early Saturday. NBC carries the rest of Saturday and Sunday singles. In the UK it is on Sky Sports Golf, in Canada on TSN, and in Australia on Fox Sports and Kayo.
Can I watch the Presidents Cup 2026 on Peacock?
Only the NBC rounds. Golf Channel is no longer part of NBCUniversal, so its Thursday and Friday coverage does not stream on Peacock. Use the Golf Channel app with a TV login, or a live TV service such as Fubo or YouTube TV, for those days.
How can I watch the Presidents Cup without cable?
Subscribe to a live TV streaming service that carries both NBC and Golf Channel. Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV MySports all do. Fubo, YouTube TV and DirecTV offer free trials for new customers.
Is there a free Presidents Cup live stream?
NBC rounds on Saturday and Sunday are free over the air with an antenna in the US. For the full week, a free trial from Fubo, DirecTV or YouTube TV covers all four days if you start it on the Wednesday before play.

Can I stream the Presidents Cup while travelling abroad?
Yes. Streaming services block access outside their home country, but a VPN lets you connect through a server back home and use your normal Peacock, Fubo, Sky Go, TSN or Kayo login. Check your provider’s terms first, since most list VPN use as a breach.
Who has won the most Presidents Cups?
The United States leads 13 wins to 1, with one tie. The International Team’s only win came at Royal Melbourne in 1998, and the 2003 event at Fancourt was shared. The US won 18.5 to 11.5 at Royal Montreal in 2024.
Final Word
The easiest Presidents Cup 2026 live stream is a live TV service with NBC and Golf Channel, such as Fubo or YouTube TV, because it covers all four days in one app. Peacock is fine if you only want the weekend. UK fans need Sky Sports Golf or NOW, Canadians need TSN, and Australians need Kayo. If you are travelling, a VPN keeps your home service working. We will update the coverage times as soon as NBC Sports confirms them, so check back before Thursday 24 September.
