How to watch Open Championship 2025: live stream major golf online, TV schedule, tee times

Tom's Guide16-07-2025
The 2025 Open Championship sees the world's best golfers head to Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland, with much expectation on local hero Rory McIlroy. You can watch Open Championship 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
Open Championship live streams take place between Thursday, July 17 to Sunday, July 20.• U.S. — NBC and Golf Channel via Sling TV / Peacock• U.K. — Sky Sports• AUS — Fox / Kayo Sports (7-day FREE trial) • Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free
Except for world number 1 Scottie Scheffler, McIlroy is the favorite to win his second Open Championship — more than a decade since his first. He finally completed his career Grand Slam at the Masters in April and looked in foreboding form at the Scottish Open last week. Can he put a smile on Northern Irish faces?
Last time the U.K.'s major was played at Portrush, it was another Emerald Isle fave Shane Lowry who lifted the Claret Jug. He tends to leave his best golf for the Open, and will hope to challenge alongside the likes of Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Matt Fitzpatrick and reigning champion Xander Schauffele, as well as LIV Golf rebels like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau.
Below is a complete guide to where to watch Open Championship 2025 live streams no matter where in the world you are, together with U.S. broadcast schedules and international TV channels ahead of Round 1 on Thursday.
Watch the Open Championship with Sling TV (50% off)Sling's Blue TV packages lets you watch major golf via NBC (in select cities). For a limited time, you can get your first month of Sling Blue half price making it a great way to watch live 2025 Open Championship action, plus highlights and previews.
Looking to catch the 2025 Open Championship for free? R&A TV will have limited coverage of four featured groups every day as well as the Par 3 channel which will have a stream of Harry's Colt and Calamity Corner.
Can't access it in your country? Use a VPN and stream R&A's coverage of the Open live from Royal Portrush.
2025 Open Championship live streams will be shown on different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
You can still watch the golf thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software enables your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So it is ideal for sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 7,000 servers, across 165+ countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
Get 70% off NordVPN with this deal
Using a VPN is incredibly simple:
1. Download and install a VPN — as we say, our top choice is NordVPN.
2. Connect to the appropriate server location — open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate server location.
3. Go to the broadcaster's stream — head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch the Open as if you were at home.
Live U.S. TV coverage of the British Open will be shown on NBC with the Peacock streaming service also showing every minute online.
The Golf Channel will also show a repeat of the action later in the day.
If you already have those channels as part of your cable TV package, then you're all set. If not, try a cord-cutting TV service such as Sling TV. Its Blue plan starts from $50.99/month and includes NBC (available in select markets). And there's a half-price discount for new users, too. To get the Golf Channel you'll need the Sports Extra add-on, which is an additional $11/month.
Fubo (7-day free trial) is another cord-cutting streaming service through which you'll be able to watch the British Open. Subscriptions start at $84.99/month though so if you're looking for a bargain head to Sling TV.
Anyone outside of the States who wants to watch their home golf coverage can just pick up a good VPN and follow the instructions above to live stream all the golf safely.
All four days of the Open Championship will be shown live on Sky Sports in the U.K. across its Main Event and Golf channels.
Sky Sports subscribers can watch the golf on the go on mobile devices via Sky Go, which has dedicated apps for iOS, iPadOS and Android devices, along with Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
Looking to sign up? Head to Sky TV deals and packages for today's best prices. Or if you don't want to commit to a full Sky package, Now Sports Memberships offers no-contract plans starting at £14.99 for a day pass or a £26.99/monthly for a six-month minimum term.
What if I miss the action? Free highlights of all four rounds will also be shown on BBC iPlayer from 9pm BST on Thursday and Friday and 8pm BST on Saturday and Sunday.
To access your usual streaming service from outside the U.K. you'll need to download a good VPN, as detailed above.
The 2025 British Open is being broadcast on TSN and RDS (French Language) in Canada, which means you can also watch golf live streams on the TSN Plus streaming platform costing $8/month or $80/year.
If you're outside Canada but have a subscription, you can watch Open Championship golf live streams using a VPN, such as NordVPN.
Live Open Championship 2025 action from Portrush is being shared by Fox Sports 503 and 505 on TV and Kayo Sports online in Australia.
Kayo costs from $30/month, after your choice of either a 7-day free trial or first month for $1.
Not in Australia right now? Try NordVPN to unlock your domestic streams from anywhere.
4:58 A.M. / 9:58 A.M. — Xander Schauffele, JJ Spaun, Jon Rahm5:09 A.M. / 10:09 A.M. — Shane Lowry, Collin Morikawa, Scottie Scheffler9:48 A.M. / 2:48 P.M. — Robert MacIntyre, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Rose9:59 A.M. / 2:59 P.M. — Jordan Spieth, Ludvig Åberg, Viktor Hovland10:10 A.M. / 3:10 P.M. — Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood
The Open Championship is the fourth and final major of the 2025 season year and, like the others, is played as a four-round individual strokeplay competition. There is a halfway cut, so only the top 70 positions plus ties go through to play the final two rounds. If two or more players are tied for the lead after 72 holes, there will be a three-hole aggregate playoff to decide the winner.

How to Watch the F1 Belgian Grand Prix Live on a Free Channel

Looking for a way to watch the F1 Belgian Grand Prix online for free? Today is your lucky day. It's a new weekend and a new Grand Prix. This time, we're heading to Europe, to the famous Spa circuit. Spanning just over 7 kilometers and covering 44 laps, Spa is one of the most complex circuits to drive on. It combines lengthy straights with sharp turns, downhill and uphill sections, ensuring maximum excitement for both drivers and fans. So, how can you watch the 2025 Belgian GP live on a free channel? Here's what you need to know. Look online, and you'll be bombarded by premium channels that broadcast Formula 1 races. If you don't want to overpay, free channels are way better. One of them is SRF, also known as SRF Play. Have you heard of it? Likely not if you're not a Swiss resident. SRF is a Swiss TV channel, while SRF Play is its on-demand streaming service. It provides access to all SRF channels, which you can watch live, for free, without an account. There are a few tricks, however. Watch the Belgian GP With NordVPN SRF's Swiss roots mean the channel is not in English. However, it provides top-notch quality footage and lets you watch the entire Grand Prix, not just the main race. The problem with SRF is its limited availability. As you can guess, SRF operates only in Switzerland. Thus, if you're abroad, you'll likely come across a geo-restriction message when trying to watch the F1 Belgian Grand Prix on this free channel. You can remedy the issue by getting a Swiss IP address with a VPN. We mentioned a VPN, but haven't specified which one to use. According to thousands of F1 fans worldwide, NordVPN seems to fit the bill. It offers countless Swiss VPN servers, unrestricted traffic, and impressive streaming speeds. How does NordVPN work? It's pretty simple. You connect to one of its remote servers and get assigned that server's IP address. Install NordVPN, open its app, and choose Switzerland. Within seconds of connecting, your new IP will be ready. As the new IP overrides your original one, you'll appear in Switzerland to any website you visit. Now, you can go to SRF Play, click Live, and watch the Belgian Grand Prix on a free channel. But wait, NordVPN isn't free, so what's the point? The point is a refund policy. You get 30 days to obtain a refund with a money-back guarantee. This leaves you ample time to watch the F1 Belgian GP online for free and even enjoy the Hungary GP after that. Even if you do this, you'll still be able to obtain a refund and lose nothing. No free channel streams the F1 Belgian GP live in English. While we advised SRF, the race can also be seen on Belgian RTBF or Austrian ServusTV. Both are free but in their respective languages. Premium channels have their advantages, but they're not flawless. Here are a few ideas: Channels from the UK, USA, and Canada offer access to all Formula 1 races; however, they cost a fortune. The cheapest options are Kayo Sports and TSN Plus, but they work exclusively in Australia and Canada. US streaming services, especially Hulu + Live TV and fuboTV, cost way more than NordVPN and don't have refund policies. Plus, users abroad still need to use a VPN because all are restricted to their native countries. Try NordVPN risk-free today Here's a full schedule of this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix. The main race starts on July 25th and ends on July 27th. For your convenience, we have presented the full schedule in CEST, EDT, and PDT.

Over the next two days, riders will embark on the final two stages of the 21-day, 2,052-mile cycling race across France, but even though it's winding down, stakes are high as ever and you can watch every moment. Riders are coming off of a shorted Stage 19, where nearly 30 kilometers were cut from the race course around the Col de Saisies mountain pass due to a herd of diseased cattle that needed to be culled. Dutch rider Thyman Arensman won Stage 19, passing leaders Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard on the final climb up the French Alps. It marks Arensman's second stage win in one week. Vingegaard finished in second, with Pogačar right behind him in third place. Stage 20 will take racers from Nantua to Pontarlier (114.5 miles on hilly terrain), while Stage 21 begins in Mantes-la-Ville and ends 82.2 miles later on the Champs-Élysées. In the final two stages, Pogačar will look to become a back-to-back champion. Tour de France 2025 TV and streaming schedule: Stage 20: 6 a.m. ET (Peacock); 8 a.m. ET (NBC) 6 a.m. ET (Peacock); 8 a.m. ET (NBC) Stage 21: 9:30 a.m. ET (Peacock) How to watch the 2025 Tour de France: You can watch the remaining stages of the 2025 Tour de France on Peacock. Peacock currently offers two subscription types with live sports: Premium with ads and Premium Plus ad-free. Peacock Premium costs $10.99/month, while Premium Plus costs $16.99/month. You can save a bit by subscribing to one of Peacock's annual plans, which give you 12 months for the price of 10. These cost either $109.99 with ads or $169.99 without ads. If you just want to tune in to the NBC portions, you can do so with a DIRECTV free trial. 2025 Tour de France standings: Below, find the overall standings in the Tour de France as of the conclusion of Stage 19.
