Just a month after the Ryder Cup, the US team will face a team of non-European international players in the Presidents Cup. Golf fans around the world can watch the tournament, which will be broadcast across multiple channels and streaming services. Below, we’ll show you how to watch the Presidents Cup, including cable and live streaming options.

The pros have been training in Montreal since Tuesday, but the games officially start on Thursday. The USA won last year and will be represented by golfers such as 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 consisting of 12 individual matches.

Read on to find out how to watch the Presidents Cup. The range of options is a bit complicated, so we’ve broken down which streaming services offer each channel and the cheapest way to watch it all in one place.

How to watch the Presidents Cup in the USA

The Presidents Cup will air in the U.S. on the Golf Channel and NBC/Peacock. The Golf Channel will handle the first two days of coverage from approximately 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET on Thursday and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET on Friday. On Saturday, NBC and Peacock will broadcast Rounds 3 and 4 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. NBC and Peacock will also broadcast the final round from noon to 6 p.m. ET. Below, we’ve highlighted the best ways to tune in if you don’t have cable. All of these live streaming options are monthly, so you can cancel at any time.

The cheapest way to watch all four days without cable is with Sling TV. You’ll need to subscribe to Sling Blue to access NBC (local channel coverage varies, so check availability in your area). From there, you’ll need to add Sling Blue Sports Extra to access the Golf Channel. Sling Blue costs $40/month, and Sports Extra costs an additional $11/month, making the subscription $51/month. However, you can save $25 on your first month right now, so you’ll only spend $26 this weekend before taxes and other fees.

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

Peacock is the cheapest option, with subscriptions starting at just $8/month. However, this only gets you weekend coverage and doesn’t offer live streams on Thursday and Friday. This is a great option if you’re only interested in the later rounds. Otherwise, we recommend Sling, Fubo, or DirecTV Stream.

How to watch the Presidents Cup from anywhere

If you’ve gone to the trouble of finding the right streaming service, you may still have trouble tuning in while traveling outside the US. Fortunately, you can keep most of your subscriptions active while abroad by using 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. Since the services we’ve highlighted require US payment methods, this option is best for Americans who are simply traveling.

If you don’t already have a VPN, we recommend ExpressVPN. It’s straightforward and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find it’s not what you’re looking for. Read our ExpressVPN review for more information.

Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content may violate the terms of service of certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
