Watch U.S. Open Golf on Cable or Satellite TV

• NBC: NBC is the channel you need for all the high-profile moments throughout the 2025 edition of the US Open. NBC took over the FOX Sports broadcasting deal in 2020, retaining the rights to the 2026 tournament, and showcasing the late coverage on every day of the 2025 US Open.
  
  Dan Hicks will take on his familiar role as NBC’s lead play-by-play voice, with Brad Faxon and company now being joined by Kevin Kisner as a lead analyst. Who better to rely on for insights than a guy who was competing on the PGA tour just a few weeks ago right?
  
  
• USA Network: The early-round action every day will be hosted by USA Network. Whilst this does mean USA Network won’t be showing the all-important moments on Sunday, this is still the place to be to see the stars off on Thursday and Friday as they try to make an early move for the US Open trophy.
  
  
• Golf Channel: For die-hard golf fans, this is where you will find the extra analysis you’re craving. From pre-tournament insights to post-round analysis, Golf Channel is the ultimate channel to nerd out on the US Open. Golf Channel will also feature some early-round coverage, making it a fantastic channel to warm you up before the big guns set off on NBC.

US Open – History and Tournament Info

The U.S. Open is one of golf’s most historic and prestigious tournaments, with a legacy dating back over 125 years. It is part of both the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) and stands as one of the sport’s four major championships, alongside The Masters Tournament, The Open Championship, and The PGA Championship.

The tournament is typically held in June and takes place at a different course each year, often chosen for its difficulty. The U.S. Open is widely considered one of the toughest tests in professional golf, known for narrow fairways, deep rough, and firm greens — a challenge that matches its impressive $12.5 million prize pool.

The event spans four rounds, usually played Thursday through Sunday. After the first two rounds (36 holes), a cut is made, allowing only the top 60 players and ties to advance to the weekend.

Qualification Criteria

The U.S. Open field features 156 players, made up of both professionals and elite amateurs. Any amateur with a USGA Handicap Index of 1.4 or lower can attempt to qualify, though roughly half the field earns direct entry through exemption categories.

Some key exemption criteria include:

• Winners of the past 10 U.S. Opens
• Recent champions of other majors and top global events (e.g. The Players Championship, U.S. Senior Open)
• The top-ranked players from the Official World Golf Ranking

This strict entry system ensures the U.S. Open consistently draws one of the strongest and most competitive fields in golf.
