Where golf actually airs
Counted from the 2026 tournament listings. Golf Channel is on nearly every PGA Tour week, which makes it the channel that decides whether a streaming service is any use for golf at all.
| Channel | What it carries | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| Golf Channel | Almost every PGA Tour week, plus most of the LPGA | YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV or DirecTV Stream (Choice) — not Fubo |
| CBS | Weekend afternoons at most tournaments | An antenna, Fubo, or any live TV service |
| NBC | Weekend afternoons at the NBC-run events | An antenna, Fubo, or any live TV service |
| ESPN+ | Streaming coverage of most PGA Tour events | ESPN+, a separate subscription |
| Peacock and Paramount+ | Streaming simulcasts of the NBC and CBS windows | Peacock or Paramount+ |
| FOX, FS1 and FS2 | All LIV Golf | Fubo or any live TV service |
Worth knowing before you subscribe: Fubo lost Golf Channel when it moved to Versant at the start of 2026 and the June NBCUniversal deal didn't include it. Fubo is still fine for LIV Golf and the weekend network windows, but it will not show you a normal PGA Tour Thursday.
Golf TV questions
What channel is golf on today?
Most PGA Tour coverage is on Golf Channel, with weekend afternoons moving to CBS or NBC. Early-round coverage streams on ESPN+, and NBC's events also stream on Peacock. LIV Golf is on FOX, FS1 and FS2. The list at the top of this page shows what is actually on today.
How do I watch Golf Channel without cable?
YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream's Choice plan all carry Golf Channel. Fubo does not: Golf Channel moved to Versant at the start of 2026 and Fubo's June 2026 NBCUniversal agreement did not include it. If Golf Channel is what you want, Fubo is the wrong choice.
Why is golf on TV in the morning but not the afternoon?
Most PGA Tour weekends split coverage: Golf Channel carries the early hours, then the broadcast moves to CBS or NBC for the final holes. That is why a tournament can disappear from one channel mid-round and reappear on another.
Do I need ESPN+ for golf?
Only for extra coverage. ESPN+ carried streaming coverage of most PGA Tour events in 2026, typically featured groups and early rounds alongside the television broadcast. You can follow a tournament without it, but the first two days are thinner on television than on ESPN+.
What channel is LIV Golf on?
LIV Golf is on FOX, FS1 and FS2 in the United States, with some coverage on the Fox Sports app. Fubo carries all three channels, so it is a good answer for LIV even though it is the wrong one for the PGA Tour.
