    Just a month after the Ryder Cup, Team USA will take on a team of non-European international players for the Presidents Cup. Golf enthusiasts around the world can tune into the tournament, which is spread across multiple channels and streaming services. Below we’ll show you how to watch the Presidents Cup, including cable and livestream options.

    The pros have been practicing in Montreal since Tuesday, but play officially starts on Thursday. The US won last year and will be represented by golfers including Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark. The international team includes Jason Day (Australia), Hideki Matsuyama (Japan), Sungjae Im (South Korea) and Adam Scott (Australia). In each round, players are paired up for four-ball or foursome matches, with the final round on Sunday featuring twelve singles matches.

    Keep reading to learn how to watch the Presidents Cup. The viewing options are getting a little tricky, so we’ve broken down which streaming services offer each channel and the cheapest ways to watch it all in one place.

    How to watch the Presidents Cup in the USA

    The Presidents Cup will be broadcast on the Golf Channel and NBC/Peacock in the US. The Golf Channel will provide coverage for the first two days from approximately 11:30 AM to 6:00 PM ET on Thursday and from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM ET on Friday. On Saturday, NBC and Peacock will air rounds 3 and 4 from 8am to 6pm ET. NBC and Peacock will also cover the final round from noon to 6pm ET. Below we’ve highlighted the best ways to tune in if you don’t have cable. All of these live streaming options are month-to-month, so you can cancel at any time.

    The cheapest way to watch all four days without cable is through Sling TV. You’ll need to subscribe to Sling Blue to access NBC (local channel coverage varies, so double-check your regional availability). From there you’ll need to add the Sling Blue Sports Extra to access the golf channel. Sling Blue costs $40 per month, and the Sports Extra costs an additional $11 per month, making this a $51 per month subscription. However, you can now get $25 off your first month, so you’ll only spend $26 this weekend, before taxes and other fees.

    For just the essentials without the extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you’re looking for. It’s more customizable than other plans, with three options to choose from so you only pay for what you need. New members get $25 off their first month.

    Fubo and DirecTV Stream are more expensive options, but they offer broad NBC and Golf Channel coverage. When it comes to Fubo, the basic Pro Plan lets you get over 100 channels (including NBC and the Golf Channel) for $80 per month. The service offers new customers a seven-day free trial and a reduced introductory offer of $50 in the first month. DirecTV Stream has more than 125 channels in its Choice plan, which offers both NBC and the Golf Channel. Subscriptions cost $109 per month, but you can get a five-day free trial and your first three months for $89 per month.

    FuboTv Showcase

    Fubo Pro subscription

    Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its vast library of channels includes regional and international sports competitions, setting it apart from the competition. You can also add additional programming to your plan, but this will cost you extra.

    DirecTV Stream, formerly known as AT&T TV, offers streaming access to a large selection of live channels through an included Android TV box with voice control.

    Peacock is the cheapest option, with plans starting at just $8 per month. However, this only helps you with weekend coverage and doesn’t offer live streams on Thursdays and Fridays. This is a great option if you are only interested in the later rounds. Otherwise, we recommend Sling, Fubo, or DirecTV Stream.

    PeacockTV

    Peacock Premium (monthly subscription)

    Peacock is a convenient streaming source for popular NBC TV shows, Universal movies, and select sports like Sunday Night Football. Prices start at $8 per month, with additional discounts on annual subscriptions.

    How to watch the Presidents Cup from anywhere

    If you’ve gone through all the trouble of finding the right streaming service, you may still have trouble trying to tune in when traveling outside the US. Fortunately, you can keep track of most of your subscriptions abroad with the help of a VPN. VPNs, short for Virtual Private Networks, are easy-to-use cybersecurity tools that let you use your usual websites and apps from anywhere. Because the services we highlighted require US payment methods, this option works best for Americans who are just traveling at the moment.

    If you don’t have a VPN yet, our best suggestion is ExpressVPN. It’s simple and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find it’s not what you’re looking for. You can check out our ExpressVPN review for additional information.

    Note: Using VPNs is illegal in some countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content may violate the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or tolerate the illegal use of VPNs.
