Last updated: 5 September 2026
The 2026 Solheim Cup runs from Friday 11 September to Sunday 13 September at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, the Netherlands. In the United States every session is on Golf Channel, with streaming through GolfChannel.com and the Golf Channel app.
In the United Kingdom it is on Sky Sports Golf and Sky Sports Main Event, streaming via NOW. Because the host venue is in central Europe, American coverage starts overnight rather than in the morning.

Coverage Times and What Time It Starts
Friday’s opening foursomes are expected to begin at approximately 7:30 AM CEST, which is 6:30 AM BST and 1:30 AM ET. Television coverage opens at the same time on both Golf Channel and Sky Sports.
| Session | Date | ET | BST | CEST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1: foursomes and fourballs | Fri 11 Sep | 1:30 AM to 1:00 PM | 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM | 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM |
| Day 2: foursomes and fourballs | Sat 12 Sep | 1:30 AM to 1:00 PM | 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM | 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM |
| Day 3: singles | Sun 13 Sep | 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM | 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM | 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM |
These are broadcast windows, not tee times. Bernardus Golf has not yet published exact session tee times, and confirmed times are released alongside the Friday pairings after Thursday’s opening ceremony on 10 September.
If you are watching from the United States, the practical takeaway is that Friday and Saturday coverage begins at 1:30 AM Eastern, which is 10:30 PM on Thursday and Friday for the West Coast. Sunday singles are much friendlier at 5:00 AM ET, and they are the session that decides the Cup.
How to Watch in the United States
Golf Channel carries all three days. Every session listed in the table above airs there in full.
For streaming, GolfChannel.com and the Golf Channel app both carry live coverage during the broadcast windows, and both require a TV provider login. If you do not have cable, Golf Channel is included in several live TV streaming packages, and NBC Sports platforms including Peacock have carried Solheim coverage in past editions.
Check your specific package before Friday rather than at 1:30 AM on the day. Golf Channel is not included in every entry-level streaming tier.
How to Watch in the United Kingdom
Sky Sports has UK rights. Coverage is on Sky Sports Golf, and Friday and Saturday are also being simulcast on Sky Sports Main Event, which is the wider-reach channel.
Both days start at 6:30 AM BST. Sunday singles start at 10:00 AM BST.
For streaming without a Sky contract, NOW carries Sky Sports channels on a day, month or annual pass. A day pass covering the Sunday singles is the cheapest way to watch the decisive session if you only want one day.
How to Watch in the Netherlands
Ziggo Sport holds the rights in the host country, with streaming through Ziggo GO.
This is the first Solheim Cup ever staged in the Netherlands, and Dutch coverage is expected to be more extensive than in previous editions for that reason.

How to Watch Without Cable
You do not need a cable or satellite subscription to watch. Several live TV streaming services carry Golf Channel in the United States, and in the UK a NOW pass gets you Sky Sports without a contract.
- Fubo: carries Golf Channel in its main sports packages and runs a free trial for new customers. Confirm Golf Channel is in the specific tier you pick before signing up.
- DIRECTV STREAM: carries Golf Channel on its mid-tier packages, alongside the major sports networks.
- Sling TV: the budget option, though Golf Channel sits on an add-on rather than the base plan.
- YouTube TV: includes Golf Channel in its base package.
- NOW (UK): day, month or annual Sky Sports passes with no contract.
Pricing and channel line-ups change regularly, so check the current package details on each provider’s own site rather than relying on figures quoted elsewhere. The key thing to verify is that Golf Channel is included in the exact tier you are buying.
Are There Any Free Ways to Watch?
Not for full live coverage. Every broadcaster carrying the Solheim Cup live is a paid service or requires a provider login.
What is free:
- Highlights. The official Solheim Cup and LPGA YouTube channels post match highlights and daily recaps during the week.
- Social clips. Key moments appear on the official accounts within minutes.
- Live scoring. The official Solheim Cup website and app carry free hole-by-hole scoring for all 28 matches.
- Trial periods. Some streaming services offer short free trials, though availability varies and these are usually restricted to new customers.
If you only want one session, a NOW day pass in the UK or a single month of a streaming package in the US is the realistic low-cost route.
What You Are Watching
Twenty-eight matches across three days: four foursomes and four fourball matches on each of Friday and Saturday, then 12 singles on Sunday. Every match is worth one point, with half a point each for a tie.
Fourteen and a half points wins the Cup outright. The United States are the holders after winning in 2024, so a 14-14 tie leaves the trophy with the Americans and Europe need 14.5 to take it back. That asymmetry is what makes the Sunday singles order matter so much.
Both squads in full are on the Solheim Cup 2026 teams page, and the format is explained session by session on the schedule page.
