FuboTV with Golf Channel and others.

The Golf Channel (often referred to as simply “Golf”) is a cable network that is part of the NBC Sports Group owned by NBCUniversal.

It offers exclusive coverage of the first two rounds of most PGA Tour events, like the Champions Tour, as well as early morning coverage of the final two rounds of most tournaments. Some major events include the President’s Cup/Ryder Cup, US Open, and Tour Championship.

In addition to coverage of the PGA and LPGA Tours, you will find live broadcasts of golf events taking place in Asia and Europe. Finally, Golf Channel offers a variety of original programming aimed at teaching viewers how to play the game.

How to Watch Golf Channel Live Without Cable

Android phone running Sling TV with Golf Channel.

If you want to stream Golf Channel live without cable, you will need to subscribe to a streaming service. There are many streaming platforms that offer this channel as part of a base package or as part of a low-cost add-on to an existing package.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to watch this channel using an antenna. This is because Golf Channel does not broadcast a signal over the air (OTA). It is only available through a third-party provider.

Streaming Services With Golf Channel

Subscribing to a streaming platform may be the best way for those who want to cut the cord to watch their favorite sport on a regular basis. You can watch live coverage of most major golf events and get the latest news from the links, plus it is usually possible to record your favorite shows, highlights, and anything else that you’d want to watch again in the future.

And streaming services allow you to cancel or transfer your service at any time, which makes it easier to watch TV on your terms.

All the major live TV streaming services offer the Golf Channel:

Streaming Features

All these streaming services support the usual devices: Amazon Fire TV, Android mobile devices, Android TV-based smart TVs, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS mobile devices, Roku, Samsung smart TVs, and web browsers. Other devices are supported by some services.

You can also stream on multiple devices so others in your household can watch different things when you are watching golf. And all the services come with cloud DVRs.

Our Choice

If you don’t want to sign-up for a long-term cable or satellite package, you can get access to the Golf Channel by subscribing to one of the many streaming platforms that carry it. My top pick for it is Fubo. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.

FAQs

Does the Golf Channel carry The Masters Tournament?

No. The Masters Tournament is on ESPN (Rounds 1 and 2) and CBS (Rounds 3 and 4). ESPN is available on every major streaming service, and CBS is on most of them. You can get a CBS live stream by itself by subscribing to Paramount+ ($12.99/month). Sling TV, at $45.99/month, is the cheapest way to watch ESPN.

Is Golf Channel available in Canada?

Yes. Several Canadian cable and satellite providers offer the Golf Channel. Coverage may vary from the United States’ version due to differing licensing agreements, blackouts, and other contract and copyright oddities. You can also find golf in Canada, or straight from the horse’s mouth, as it were, with PGA Tour Live.

Do I need the Golf Channel if I have Peacock?

If you have the Peacock Premium package, you may already have access to a significant amount of content that airs on Golf Channel. However, there is no guarantee that a specific show, live event, or other piece of programming will be available without subscribing to a service that offers the channel itself. Peacock Premium does not provide the Golf live stream.

Peacock has introduced a service called GolfPass, which offers much of the same content that Golf Channel does. But it is not the same as Golf Channel.
