World No.1 Scottie Scheffler goes into the US Open as favourite. Below we have all the info on how to watch the US Open 2026 online and on TV.
US Open golf: key information

• Venue: Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Southampton, New York., USA
• TV Channels: NBC, USA via Sling / YouTube TV (US) | Sky Sports (UK) | Kayo Sports (Aus)

Were Scheffler to win, he would become the seventh man to complete the career Grand Slam of all four Major titles. But he has not won a tournament since January.
Rory McIlroy completed the Grand Slam last year, and he already has a Major win this season, at the Masters, where Scheffler was runner up. Rory’s first Major win was at the US Open in 2011, but he is yet to win it again. Last season’s T19 finish in this event was the first time in seven years he had not been in the top 10, and he was runner up in 2023 and 2024.
Shinnecock Hills opened in 1891 and is the only course to host US Opens in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
The last time the US Open was here, in 2018, Brooks Koepka won, at one over par. The runner up was Tommy Fleetwood. The popular Englishman has yet to win a Major, but set the course record 63 in the final round that year.
Brooks Koepka’s win at Shinnecock Hills gave him back-to-back US Open titles. JJ Spaun will be hoping history repeats, having won at Oakmont Country Club last year.

A Virtual Private Network – to give it the full name – can make your devices appear to be in any location, bypassing geo-restrictions so you can watch the things you've signed up for. It's perfect for watching golf from anywhere, and it comes with a host of internet security benefits, too.
Our expert colleagues over at TechRadar have tested loads of VPNs and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider out there right now.
