LIV Golf Schedule 2026: Multiple New Events Confirmed In League's ‘Most Global’ Year Yet

As the PIF-backed circuit continues to drip feed its schedule for 2026, here is what has been locked in so far and what is reported to be in the plan for next year

Now that the 2025 LIV Golf League campaign is over and Jon Rahm has been crowned champion for the second year in a row, attention is already turning to where the PIF-backed circuit will be heading next year.

LIV has taken in nine different countries this term with four international stops to kick off its season, starting with Saudi Arabia before travelling to Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. Trump National Doral became the first US host in early April.

As the details begin to filter out for 2026, it seems as though the 54-hole league is making an extra effort to expand its global footprint after announcing a new tournament in South Africa alongside confirmed returns for LIV Golf Riyadh, Adelaide, Singapore, Mexico City, the UK and Spain.

The South African tournament - which is set to take place in Steyn City, Johannesburg between March 20-22 - marks LIV's first adventure to Africa and means it will take place on five of the world's six most-populated continents, with only South America left out at this stage.

In a largely filled schedule on the tour's website, LIV has labelled its 2026 plans as "our most global schedule yet" and called the unconfirmed list of events "our boldest lineup yet" while promising multiple new venues and cities.

One of the fresh sites, as first reported by Sports Business Journal's Josh Carpenter, is Bayou Oaks Golf Club at New Orleans City Park. Set to be one of five US stops in the 14-tournament schedule, LIV Golf Louisiana has been confirmed as taking place one week after the US Open next June (26-28).

Three of the other four US sites are supposed to arrive right towards the back end of the season - with Chicago, Indianapolis and Michigan capping off the campaign in August.

Per Carpenter, who stated that SBJ has "viewed a 2026 schedule" which was "likely the final product" - although not officially finalized - there is no room for Miami during 2026, nor Dallas. Subsequently, Trump National Doral was recently confirmed as returning to the PGA Tour schedule as a new Signature Event.

However, LIV has moved around the States quite regularly since its inception, playing one-off tournaments in Nashville, Boston and Houston.

To kick off the season, LIV is heading to five international locations first before touching down in the USA at LIV Golf Virginia in early May. Of the 10 sites confirmed so far, only three have been confirmed as taking place inside the USA.

LIV Golf Virginia - hosted by the President's Trump National Golf Club Washington, D.C. - is set to occur the week prior to the PGA Championship, which is May 14-17. That could be the only LIV event which directly precedes a Major unless other dates are switched.

LIV heads back to Chupultepec GC in Mexico City a week after The Masters and has confirmed its UK return to JCB Golf and Country Club immediately following The Open Championship.

The circuit's return to Valderrama in Andalucia, Spain has been moved forward a month compared to this year. This year's event took place the week before The Open but will now be held in early June, two weeks before the US Open.

More recently, LIV confirmed a return to The Club at Chatham Hills for the conclusion of the Individual Championship in late August. The PIF-backed circuit says it will announce the remaining events on its 2026 schedule "in the coming days."
