Presidents Cup 2026: How to watch on TV, streaming all the action at Medinah

Yes, we know the overall results of the Presidents Cup, the Americans holding a 13-1-1 overall advantage on the International team since the match began in 1994. Yes, the U.S. team heading to Medinah No. 3 is a heavy favorite on paper this time around as well. Yes, the NFL is playing on Sunday.

And yet if you’re a golf fan, there’s something about this four-day event that is compelling enough to swim against all those trends and make the competition outside of Chicago appointment viewing. Just look at what happened at the Walker Cup and Solheim Cup earlier this month, the U.S. team falling in both. So it is that if the Americans should be upset in this event too, it would be the first time that they’d fail to claim possession of any of the four significant Cups. (Five if you also count the Arnold Palmer Cup, which a band of Europe’s collegians won in June.)

More curious now, aren’t you? So here’s how you can watch the 2026 U.S. Presidents Cup on your TV or streaming on your computer/tablet/phone using our handy viewer's guide.
