The third major golf championship of 2025 has arrived, and we've put together everything you need to know about tuning in. Keep reading to learn how to watch the US Open Golf Championship, notable tee times, and more.
The US Open heads to the Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania for the 10th time since the tournament was first established in 1895. It's the third major of the year, following a buzzy Masters tournament and PGA Championship, which Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler won, respectively. McIlroy, who completed a career Grand Slam at the Masters, and Scheffler, who has yet to take the US Open title, join reigning champion Bryson DeChambeau and 153 others at Oakmont this week.
For those who don't want to read further, the cheapest way to live stream the US Open without a free trial is through Peacock in the US. Below, we've broken down everything you need to know about the app and highlighted a few other ways to live stream the tournament, including international watch options.
How to watch the US Open Golf Championship in the US
The best (and cheapest) way to watch the US Open in the United States is through Peacock, NBCUniversal's streaming service. Peacock offers lots of its own coverage, and all NBC coverage is scheduled to be simulcast on the app as well, according to the US Open.
Subscriptions start at $8 per month for Peacock Premium, the service's base tier. This plan offers ad-supported on-demand content and select sports live streaming. You can upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus for $13 per month to unlock ad-free on-demand streaming and 24/7 live streaming of your local NBC station, plus a few other perks.
NBC and USA will have broadcast coverage of the tournament. USA will offer coverage on Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET, and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET. NBC will carry coverage on Friday from 1 to 7 p.m. ET, Saturday from 12 to 8 p.m. ET, and Sunday from 12 to 7 p.m. ET. If you'd prefer to watch this way, a live TV streaming service such as Sling TV, DirecTV, or Fubo will be able to help you out.
Sling TV is one of the cheapest live TV streaming services on the market. You'll need to opt for the Sling Blue plan, which carries USA, NBC, and around 40 other live channels. It's just important to keep in mind that local channel availability (like NBC) varies from region to region, so you should look up your ZIP code before subscribing to ensure that you can access the network. Subscriptions start at $46 per month, but you can get your first month for half off right now.
DirecTV and Fubo are a bit more expensive, but they have more channels than Sling, widespread NBC and USA coverage, and free trials for new customers. DirecTV's Entertainment plan costs $85 per month and comes with 90+ channels, while Fubo's Pro plan costs $85 per month and comes with 150+ channels.
How to watch the US Open Golf Championship in the UK
The US Open Golf Championship is available through Sky Sports in the UK. Coverage will be split between Sky Sports Golf and Sky Sports Main Event. Sky Sports prices depend on your plan and contract length, but a 24-month commitment goes for £22 per month. Sky Sports coverage is also available through Now TV, which offers more flexible plans for £35 per month or a one-time £15 day pass.
How to watch the US Open Golf Championship from anywhere
If you're traveling away from home, you can still access your usual watch options with the aid of a VPN or virtual private network. VPNs are popular cybersecurity tools that enable people to change the virtual location on their electronic devices so that their usual websites, apps, and streaming services work just like they would back in their home country.
ExpressVPN is our top recommendation due to its security-enhancing features, ample server variety, and 30-day money-back guarantee. You can learn more about it in our official ExpressVPN review. Just keep in mind that this option will work best for those who are simply traveling abroad, since the services we've recommended require country-specific payment methods.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
