The Open FAQ

Where can I stream the early rounds of the The Open?
The Thursday and Friday rounds stream on USA Net and Peacock. ESPN+ is the cheapest standalone way in if you mainly want the early-round and featured-group coverage.
What channel is the The Open on over the weekend?
The Saturday and Sunday rounds air on NBC, USA Net, and Peacock. Those are broadcast networks, so an antenna pulls them in free, or any live-TV streamer that carries them works.
Can I watch the The Open for free?
Partly. The weekend network rounds are free over the air with an antenna, and the live-TV services that carry the early rounds run free trials you can use for the tournament before cancelling.
Do I need ESPN+ and a cable login to watch the whole tournament?
To follow every round you generally want ESPN+ for Thursday and Friday plus a way to watch NBC, USA Net, and Peacock on the weekend. A single live-TV streamer that bundles ESPN+ and those networks can cover both in one subscription.
Can I watch the The Open on my phone?
Yes. ESPN+, the Golf Channel app and the live-TV services below all stream on phones, tablets and smart TVs, so you can follow the tournament anywhere.
