Solheim Cup 2026 TV Coverage Times
Sky Sports Golf goes on air before Golf Channel every day. The two broadcasters publish different windows, so use the column that matches your country.
| Day | Date | Golf Channel (ET) | Sky Sports Golf (BST) | Local (CEST) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1: foursomes and fourballs | Fri 11 Sep | 1:30 AM to 1:00 PM | 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM | 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM |
| Day 2: foursomes and fourballs | Sat 12 Sep | 1:30 AM to 1:00 PM | 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM | 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM |
| Day 3: 12 singles | Sun 13 Sep | 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM | 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM | 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM |
Sky Sports+ also carries the two ceremonies. The opening ceremony runs 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM BST on Thursday 10 September, and the closing ceremony from 5:30 PM BST on Sunday. Golf Channel lists no live ceremony window, so US viewers should plan around the three competition days only.
Solheim Cup 2026 Tee Times
Organisers have published a first tee window for every session. Each range below runs from the opening group to the last group off the tee.
| Session | Date | CEST | BST | ET |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 foursomes | Fri 11 and Sat 12 Sep | 7:40 to 8:16 AM | 6:40 to 7:16 AM | 1:40 to 2:16 AM |
| 4 fourballs | Fri 11 and Sat 12 Sep | 1:05 to 1:50 PM | 12:05 to 12:50 PM | 7:05 to 7:50 AM |
| 12 singles | Sun 13 Sep | 11:10 AM to 1:22 PM | 10:10 AM to 12:22 PM | 5:10 to 7:22 AM |
Foursomes go off in 12 minute gaps, fourballs in 15 minute gaps, and the singles in 12 minute gaps. Pairings are not out yet. Sky Sports confirms Friday’s opening matches are revealed during the Thursday opening ceremony, and the later sessions follow the same pattern, with Saturday’s pairings on Friday evening and the singles order on Saturday evening.
How to Watch Solheim Cup 2026 in the United States
Golf Channel carries every session and all 28 matches. GolfChannel.com and the Golf Channel app stream the same feed live, and both need a TV provider login.
There is no NBC network window and no Peacock simulcast this year. The 2024 edition in Virginia had both because it played in US time slots. European start times put everything on Golf Channel in 2026, so confirm your package includes that channel before Friday morning. On the West Coast, Friday and Saturday coverage begins at 10:30 PM PT the night before.
How to Watch Solheim Cup 2026 in the UK and Ireland
Sky Sports Golf shows all three days, opening at 6:00 AM BST on Friday and Saturday and 9:00 AM on Sunday. Sky has been the exclusive home of the Solheim Cup since 1996 and has extended that deal through 2030.
Sky subscribers can stream through Sky Go or the Sky Sports app. Without a Sky contract, a NOW Sports membership carries the same channel on a day, month or annual pass. A single day pass for Sunday 13 September is the cheapest way to see the singles that settle the trophy.
Solheim Cup 2026 TV Channels by Country
Ziggo Sport holds the host nation rights, with streaming on Ziggo GO. This is the first Solheim Cup on Dutch soil, and the Dutch golf federation expects around 80,000 spectators from 40 countries across the week, with the world feed reaching more than 200 territories. Every broadcaster below is confirmed for 2026.
| Country or region | TV channel | Live stream |
|---|---|---|
| United States | Golf Channel | GolfChannel.com, Golf Channel app |
| UK and Ireland | Sky Sports Golf, Sky Sports+ (ceremonies) | Sky Go, NOW |
| Netherlands | Ziggo Sport | Ziggo GO |
| Germany, Austria, Switzerland | Sky Sport Golf | WOW, Sky Go, Sky X |
| France | Canal+ Sport, Canal+ Live 13 | myCanal |
| Spain | Movistar Plus+ (Golf) | Movistar Plus+ |
| Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland | V Sport Golf, Viaplay Sport (Friday) | Viaplay |
| Belgium | Play Sports (Telenet, VOO) | Play Sports app |
| Japan | Golf Network | Golf Network Plus, Prime Video Channels |
Canada and Australia are still unconfirmed. Neither market has announced a 2026 rights holder, and the Solheim Cup does not appear on the published TSN golf schedule. TSN and RDS carried the 2024 event in Canada, and Fox Sports and Kayo carried 2023 in Australia, so those are the first places to check. Italy has no confirmed listing either.
Start Times in Your Time Zone
These are the world feed start times, 7:30 AM CEST on Friday and Saturday and 11:00 AM CEST on Sunday, converted to local clocks.
| City or zone | Friday and Saturday | Sunday singles |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles (PT) | 10:30 PM, night before | 2:00 AM |
| New York (ET) | 1:30 AM | 5:00 AM |
| Sao Paulo | 2:30 AM | 6:00 AM |
| London (BST) | 6:30 AM | 10:00 AM |
| Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid (CEST) | 7:30 AM | 11:00 AM |
| Johannesburg (SAST) | 7:30 AM | 11:00 AM |
| Helsinki (EEST) | 8:30 AM | 12:00 PM |
| Dubai (GST) | 9:30 AM | 1:00 PM |
| Delhi (IST) | 11:00 AM | 2:30 PM |
| Dhaka | 11:30 AM | 3:00 PM |
| Singapore, Hong Kong | 1:30 PM | 5:00 PM |
| Tokyo, Seoul | 2:30 PM | 6:00 PM |
| Sydney (AEST) | 3:30 PM | 7:00 PM |
| Auckland (NZST) | 5:30 PM | 9:00 PM |
Australia and New Zealand have not moved to daylight saving by this date, so Sydney is UTC+10 and Auckland UTC+12 during Solheim week.
If Your Country Is Not Listed
- Search your provider’s guide for 11 to 13 September. Listings for a three day event often appear only three or four days out, so a channel that looks empty now may fill in this week.
- Check the golf channel you already have. The world feed goes to whichever broadcaster holds LPGA or Ladies European Tour rights in your market, and that is almost always the channel showing regular tour golf.
- Travelling this week? Home streaming apps such as Sky Go, Ziggo GO and Viaplay are geo-restricted and each sets its own rules on use abroad. Check the terms before you rely on one from another country.
How to Watch Solheim Cup 2026 Without Cable
Golf Channel has no standalone subscription. To stream it without cable you need a live TV service that carries the channel in the tier you buy.
- Fubo: Golf Channel sits in the Pro plan and above, with a free trial for new customers.
- YouTube TV: included in the base plan, no add-on needed.
- Hulu + Live TV: included in the standard live plan.
- DIRECTV STREAM: Entertainment plan plus the Sports Pack, or the MySports genre package.
- Sling TV: the cheapest route, but Golf Channel sits on the Sports Extra pack rather than base Sling Blue.
- NOW (UK and Ireland): day, month or annual Sky Sports passes with no contract.
Philo does not carry Golf Channel, so it is not an option this week. Tiers and prices change often, so confirm the current line-up on each provider’s own site. A monthly plan started now covers all three days and can be cancelled afterwards.
Free Ways to Follow the Solheim Cup
There is no free live video stream of full coverage. Every broadcaster carrying the matches is a paid service or needs a provider login. These free options do exist:
- Solheim Cup Radio. Bernardus Golf runs a dedicated station with reporters on course. The Ladies European Tour says it streams worldwide, so it works without a TV subscription.
- Live scoring. The official Solheim Cup site tracks all 28 matches hole by hole at no cost.
- Highlights. The Solheim Cup, LPGA and Ladies European Tour YouTube channels post match highlights and daily recaps through the week. Sky Sports also puts free highlights in its app.
- Free trials. Fubo, DIRECTV STREAM and Hulu + Live TV run short trials for new customers, enough to cover a session or two.
What You Are Watching
Twenty-eight matches, one point each, half a point for a tie. Friday and Saturday each hold four foursomes, where partners alternate shots with one ball, and four fourballs, where both players play their own ball and the better score counts. Sunday sends all 12 players out in singles.
Europe need 14.5 points to take the Cup back. The United States won in 2024, so 14 is enough for them to retain it. That half point gap is why the Sunday singles order matters, and why Anna Nordqvist and Angela Stanford will spend Saturday night deciding where to place their strongest players. Both squads are listed on the Solheim Cup 2026 teams page, and every session is broken down on the schedule page.

How to Watch Solheim Cup 2026: Final Checks
Knowing how to watch Solheim Cup 2026 comes down to two jobs before Friday. Confirm your Golf Channel or Sky Sports access and test the login today, then set an alarm rather than sorting it out at 1:30 AM. Pairings land at Thursday’s opening ceremony, so that is the moment to check back.
The first ball is in the air at 7:40 AM CEST on Friday. The Sunday singles start at 11:10 AM CEST, or 5:10 AM ET, and that is where this Cup gets decided, on European soil for the first time in the Netherlands.
