Official US Broadcast and Streaming Options

In the United States the Hero World Challenge is broadcast by Golf Channel (NBC).

For viewers looking for the exact TV broadcast schedule, coverage on Friday is on Golf Channel from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. and 1:30-4:00 p.m. Saturday is on Golf Channel at 2:30 p.m. and NBC at 4:30 p.m. with some sessions ending at 5 p.m. The Golf Channel 1:30 slot and a.m. 1:30 p.m. coverage means you can catch all the action. Use these times—1 30 4, 2 30, 2 30 p.m., 4 30 p.m., and 5 p.m.—to plan your viewing for both Friday and Saturday. 

You can also stream on Peacock (NBC’s streaming service) with a paid subscription. Live rounds, highlights and on-demand replays are available. To access these services from Europe connect to a U.S. server via VeePN, set your region to the U.S. and log in—as if you were home. That way you can stream on Peacock or any participating cable provider’s platform without interruption.

Watching in Europe without a VPN

Most European broadcasters or streaming services will show highlights or selected rounds of most events, though hardly ever a complete live event. In case the tournament is not available in your local provider, you can subscribe to an international sport streaming such as DAZN (not all countries have access to it) or buy a short-term streaming service in a different country. However, you should expect language overlays, a shortage of camera angles or partial access.

1. Download and install VeePN on your device (Windows/Mac/iOS/Android).
2. Launch the app and select a US server.
3. Connect and confirm your virtual location is in the U.S. (via a quick IP check).
4. Go to Peacock or Golf Channel’s streaming portal and sign in/purchase a pass.
5. Start streaming and enjoy every shot uninterrupted.

Pro Tips for the Best Streaming Experience

• Make sure your subscription (Peacock’s Premium plan) covers live sports.
