The third men's Major of 2025 is being played out over one of the world's toughest courses and in this guide Golf Monthly brings you all the information on how to watch the US Open, including live streams and TV broadcasts, from wherever you are in the world.

US Open key information

• Dates: June 12–15, 2025

• Venue: Oakmont Country Club, Pennsylvania

• TV & Streaming: USA Network via Sling TV | Peacock | NBC | Sky Sports (UK) | TSN (Can) | Kayo Sports (Aus)

• Watch from anywhere: Try NordVPN risk-free

Despite benign conditions, only 10 of the field carded a sub par first round and only the first round leader, JJ Spaun, went bogey free. He leads by one, on four under par, from South Africa's Thriston Lawrence.

With dry weather forecast, the course is expected to get even tougher for the second round.

Highlight of the opening day was when Patrick Reed made only the fourth albatross in US Open history since the event started keeping such records in 1983. He holed his second shot, with a 3-wood from 286 yards, at the par-five 4th.

McIlroy was two under par after completing his first nine holes, but then stumbled to four over par, and is in T64. Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau is one shot better, at T49, tied with, among others, pre-tournament favourite Scottie Scheffler.

All three players are part of the Featured Group coverage for the second day - see below as the world’s best golfers continue to take on one of the toughest tests in golf for the 125th US Open Championship.

This the tenth time Oakmont has hosted the US Open, a record. Three PGA Championships and two US Women's Open have also been held here. It is famed as one of the hardest courses in the US.

The lowest winning score to par in a US Open here is 5 under. In 2007 Angel Cabrera won with a score of 5 over par.

The Argentinian is far from recording the highest wining total here, however. The first two US Opens at Oakmont, in 1928 and 1935, were won at 11 over and 13 over.

Oakmont has been set up to be a typically penal US Open layout with its narrow fairways, thick rough and slick, sloping greens.

Sam Snead once joked that when he tried to mark his ball on one of Oakmont's greens, "the coin slid off.” Johnny Miller, who won the US Open here in 1973, said Oakmont had “the greatest greens for testing a player's ability to putt.”

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler came into the tournament on a run of five consecutive top-10 finishes, including back-to-back wins last month, one of which was the most recent Major played, the PGA Championship. But his Achilles heel is his putting.

Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau has won the US Open twice, but otherwise he has not made it into the top 14 in his 10 starts.

World number two Rory McIlroy's record is even more of an all-or-nothing one. In his last 10 US Opens he has missed the cut three times, but finished in the top 10 the other seven times, including being runner up in both the last two years.

The US Open was last held here in 2016, when Dustin Johnson shot 4 under par to win by three shots.

Below we explain how you can catch all the action from Oakmont.

Are there any free live streams for the US Open?

There are no dedicated free-to-air broadcasters for the US Open, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can't watch it for free, with multiple free trials to be had.

In the US, YouTube TV is offering a 21-day free trial of its service so those in the US may be able to watch the US Open for free this way.

In Australia, Kayo Sports also has a week-long free trial for its streaming of the US Open.

Note that free trials are reserved for new customers or those returning after an absence – most commonly 12 months.

Watch US Open golf in the US

There are a few options for watching the US Open Championship in the US.

NBC is the US rights-holder for the US Open, spreading the event across its channels and platforms.

The main action from the final two days will air on the flagship NBC channel, which can also be live streamed on its online platform, Peacock. There will also be dedicated streams for featured groups on Peacock.

A Peacock Premium plan cost $7.99 a month plus tax or $79.99 plus tax per year. As well as the US Open, Peacock shows a host of PGA Tour and LPGA Tour events as well as many other sports including cycling, rugby and Premier League football.

To watch the early action on the final two days, as well as a large chunk of Thursday's play, the USA Network cable TV channel is the place to go. This action won't be live streamed on Peacock, so to watch online you'll need a cord-cutting service such as Sling or Fubo.

If you don't have traditional cable, you can get the channels in an online package, through what's known as a 'cord-cutting' service. Sling currently has an offer of 50% of your first month, usually priced from $45.99 a month. It includes ESPN, NBC and the Golf Channel, plus access to a wealth of other sports including F1 and soccer.


How this US Open has already set a record

It is played as four rounds of individual strokeplay. The field of 156 will be cut after the second round with the top 60 and ties progressing to the final two rounds.

This cut line is tougher than at The Open and the PGA Championship, the other Majors with 156-man fields, which set their cut line at the top 70 and ties.
