Two years after Team USA wrestled back the Solheim Cup from Team Europe at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia, the wait for the 20th edition of the match is almost over.

There have been some significant changes in personnel on both sides from the 2024 edition, the biggest being those at the helm of each line-up.

In both 2023 and 2024, Europe’s Suzann Pettersen and the USA’s Stacy Lewis were the captains, but this year, it’s Swede Anna Nordqvist and Angela Stanford taking on the responsibility.

Just seven of the European side that lost 15.5-12.5 two years ago are in the 12-player line-up in 2026, while for the Americans, nine of their victorious team will be attempting to retain the trophy at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands.

Despite the US keeping the majority of its winning team together, Stanford’s side will be well aware they face a very different challenge on European soil.

It is now 11 years since Team USA last won in Europe, with a 14.5-13.5 victory in Germany, so a tight encounter is anticipated, with the US only narrow favorites to win.

We’ll soon have a better idea of which team is most likely to lift the cup, because the opening foursomes and four-ball sessions take place this Friday.

More foursomes and four-ball sessions are scheduled for Saturday, before the final 12 points are fought over in the Sunday singles session, which will conclude the match.

However, it’s not just the on-course action that lies ahead, with the Opening Ceremony taking place on Thursday, when the pairings for the first session of foursomes will be confirmed.

Here’s a detailed look at the key moments in the schedule, including all the session times, over the coming days.
