The Open 2025 TV Guide: Live Stream, Schedule, How To Watch The Action From Royal Portrush

Watch The Open Championship as the world's best players compete in golf's final men's Major of 2025, with all the details on TV coverage and live streaming here in Golf Monthly's in-depth guide.

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler extended his halfway lead of one shot to four strokes going into the final day. The American carded a four-under 67, which included an eagle and two birdies, on Saturday to leave him four clear of nearest challenger, Haotong Li.

The past nine tournaments that Scheffler has held a 54-hole lead he has closed out the win. Can he make it a 10 out of 10 performance?

Scheffler had travelled to Northern Ireland as the favourite to win the 153rd Open. But world number two, Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, is the player that many of the crowd are rooting for.

This is only the third Open to be held at Royal Portrush. Last time it was here, in 2019, it was won by Irishman Shane Lowry. But the defending champion is Xander Schauffele, who triumphed at Royal Troon last year.

More than 30 broadcasters across 199 countries will be showing The Open Championship 2025.

This year’s Open will have 48 hours of live main coverage of the event. In addition to this, there will be a dedicated Par-3 channel showing the action on the 16th hole, and four dedicated Featured Groups streams each day.

An innovation in the coverage this year is the use of a Spidercam, which will be suspended above the 18th green. The R&A says it will provide “spectacular aerial views and unique angles that will bring to life the natural undulations of the hole and short shots around the green.”

Read on for Golf Monthly's guide on how to watch The Open online, on TV, from anywhere in the world.

Watch The Open Championship 2025 in the US

NBC has the exclusive rights to show The Open in the US.

The main action will air on the NBC channel, which can also be live streamed on its online platform, Peacock. Peacock will also be exclusively showing the early coverage on the first two days, before the NBC coverage kicks in, as well as providing dedicated feeds for Featured Groups and the Par-3 Channel.

You can get Peacock for $7.99 per month on the 'Peacock Premium' plan, which is in fact the most basic of their options. If you want to strip out commercials, 'Peacock Premium Plus' is yours for $13.99 per month.

Watch The Open Championship 2025 in the UK

In the UK, Sky Sports is your port of call as Sky Sports will exclusively televise the live action from The Open Championship 2025.

The Open is no longer broadcast free-to-air on the BBC, but there will be highlights of each day's play every evening on BBC2.

Locking down pretty much all golf coverage in the UK, Sky Sports is a great investment for golf fans. You can get Sky Sports channels in a traditional TV package, either with Sky or a third-party TV provider. For a streaming option with more flexibility, NowTV gives you all Sky Sports channels on a daily or monthly basis. It costs between £26 and £34.99 a month or £14.99 for a day pass.
