The 2026 Open Championship begins this week at iconic Royal Birkdale in England. Here is our complete 2026 Open Championship viewer’s guide for the entire tournament, including full TV and streaming schedules and Open Championship tee times for Rounds 1 and 2.
2026 Open: How to watch
With fairways browned out and running hard and fast, this week’s Open at Royal Birkdale is shaping up to be a proper links test for the best players in the world.
Scottie Scheffler is the best of the best, and he also happens to be the defending champion having captured his first Claret Jug last year. Will he shake off last week’s shocking missed cut and capture his fifth major title this week?
Bryson DeChambeau, who is grouped with Scheffler on Thursday and Friday, is trying to will away a far bigger slump. Bryson’s missed the cut in all three majors this season.
Other former Open champions, such as Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, are hoping to add a second title this week. For Spieth, he’ll try to rediscover the magic that won him his only Open at Royal Birkdale in 2017.
The majorless stars will want this victory the most, none more so than local hero Tommy Fleetwood.
NBC and USA will handle the TV broadcasts for this week’s Open Championship, and you can stream featured group coverage on Peacock, in addition to several hours of exclusive streaming coverage to start the day.
