Round 1 of the 126th US Open Championship is underway at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York. Here is how to watch Thursday's first round live, what channel the US Open is on today, and the complete streaming options.

What Channel Is the US Open On Today — Thursday June 18

  • USA Network: Early morning ET — First round early coverage
  • NBC: Afternoon ET — Main Round 1 broadcast. Free over the air with an antenna
  • Golf Channel: Evening ET — Live From the US Open post-round
  • Peacock: All day — Live streaming, Featured Groups, early coverage

How to Stream US Open Round 1 Today

Peacock is the most comprehensive streaming option — it carries the full day of US Open coverage including Featured Groups that let you follow specific players from their first tee shot to their last putt. Peacock starts at $7.99 per month. NBC is free over the air with a digital antenna for the afternoon main broadcast window.

Free Options Today

NBC's afternoon broadcast is free over the air with a digital TV antenna. The USGA app and USOpen.com provide free live scoring and shot tracking all day. Golf Channel highlights are posted throughout the day on the Golf Channel website and YouTube channel at no cost.

What to Watch For

Shinnecock Hills under US Open conditions will play extremely difficult in Round 1 as the field gets its first competitive read of the USGA setup. Watch the early scoring — any player reaching four or five under par through the front nine has found something special. The wind direction and speed in the morning versus the afternoon will create dramatically different scoring conditions. Check the weather at Southampton before watching — it will explain everything you see on the leaderboard.

Tomorrow: Round 2 and Cut Day

Friday is cut day at the US Open. The top 60 players and ties after 36 holes advance to the weekend. Round 2 coverage follows the same schedule as today — USA Network early, NBC afternoon, Peacock all day.
