It happens again. Every year we have to figure out how to watch the PGA. The 2026 championship lands May 14-17. Aronimink Golf Club is hosting. Newtown Square, PA. It is not your standard desert slog. It is a classic test. Approach shots matter more here. Scottie Scheffler is coming for back-to-back titles. He won last time by five at Quail Hollow. He beat English, DeChambeau, and Riley. Good luck doing that at Aronimink. The course is 7,394 yards. Par 70. It demands precision.
Rory McIlroy is the favorite. Fresh off two green jackets. Cameron Young is hot too. Top-10 in his last five. He might finally win a major. Will he? Or will Scheffler just shrug off the pressure?

Who Shows It in the US?
ESPN owns Thursday and Friday. Live. CBS gets Saturday and Sunday. Linear TV fans will have to hop platforms if they want all four days. Streaming? You have options. And options mean decisions.
Paramount Plus carries the CBS broadcast. It’s the easiest bet for the weekend climax.
The essential plan costs $9. It has ads. It does not have live CBS channels. Don’t fall for that. You need the Premium Plus tier at $14 to actually watch the final rounds live on the Paramount service. Students get a quarter off. Helpful, maybe.
If you want more than just the winner’s circle, go to ESPN Plus. Or rather, what used to be ESPN Plus.
The ESPN Mess
Disney shook things up. It feels like every month brings a new pricing tier. The old ESPN Plus is dead. Long live ESPN Select.
ESPN Select is the cheap one. $13 a month. It includes the PGA Tour feeds. Marquee groups. Featured holes. Main action feeds from morning to night. All four days. That’s your best friend for the early rounds. If you need every network—ESPN, ESPN2, Deportes—get ESPN Unlimited. That’s $30. Expensive for golf only. But it gets you the whole sports ecosystem.
Key US Schedule (ET)
- Thu-Fri: ESPN (noon-8pm), ESPN+ (all day)
- Sat: CBS/Paramount+ (1pm-7pm)
- Sun: CBS/Paramount+ (1-7pm), ESPN+ all day
Check your cable provider too. They still carry CBS and ESPN. Old habits die hard.
Across the Pond
UK fans are on Sky Sports. Sky Sports Golf handles the bulk. Main Events gets the rest. Stream via Sky Go if you have cable. Use Now if you don’t.
Now costs money. Obviously. You can grab a day pass for £15. Just for Sunday. Or pay £35 a month for the whole tourney. £35 for a week of golf is steep. But hey. It’s the second major.
Down Under and North of the Border
Australia has Kayo. Starts at AU$30 for one screen. Premium is AU$46 for three devices. No contracts. You get F1, NFL, everything else. Try the free trial first. Why not.
Canada watches on TSN4. TSN Plus does the streaming for CA$25. You get NFL and Formula 1 with that package. It’s a solid deal for cord-cutters. No live linear TV required. Just the app.
The setups change every year. Apps rename themselves. Prices tick up. The golf remains the same. Someone will walk the 70-par Aronimink links. Someone else will complain about the stream buffer rate.
Who wins? The leaderboard decides. Not the network.
