How to watch

Broadcast coverage of the AIG Women’s Open is expanding this year, with more live action available on R&A TV along with an array of global broadcast partners.

A new early broadcast window will provide three additional hours of live coverage in rounds one and two (on Thursday 30 July and Friday 31 July).

Early-window coverage, from 9am to 1pm BST, will feature marquee morning groups with full main coverage, from 1pm to 7pm BST, bringing the best action to fans around the globe.

Seven hours of broadcast coverage, from 12pm to 7pm BST, will then be available on Saturday and Sunday.

Fans can watch live and in full on Sky Sports and R&A TV in the UK, while audiences in the United States can watch on Golf Channel, USA Network and NBC.

International coverage includes JTBC in South Korea, JGN and U-Next in Japan, and VGolf across Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway.

All of this means the AIG Women’s Open has more linear television broadcast hours in the UK and US than any other women’s golf championship.

Broadcast partners

The 2026 AIG Women’s Open will be broadcast live across the world by 35 different broadcasters.

For the opening two rounds, fans will also be able to watch live coverage from 1pm to 7pm BST, with an extra hour (12pm to 7pm) being broadcast on Saturday and Sunday.
