How to Catch the US Open Golf Final Round Live: TV Slots, Free Streams & Friday Tee Times

The tension is finally building for the US Open’s climactic final round. After three days of grueling play, the field has been whittled down, and now it’s time to see who will hoist that coveted trophy. If you’re wondering how to tune in, you’re in the right place. Below is a down‑to‑earth rundown of when the action hits the airwaves, where you can stream it for free, and the exact tee‑off times for Friday’s decisive day.

TV schedule at a glance

The final round will be televised live on NBC, with the main feed starting at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. For those on the West Coast, that translates to a 6:00 a.m. start – early, but worth the coffee. If you prefer cable, the NBC Sports Network will simulcast the coverage, and you’ll also catch a condensed highlight reel on the Golf Channel later in the day. Remember, the broadcast runs straight through until the winner is crowned, so there’s no need to switch channels mid‑round.

Free ways to watch the final round

Not everyone has a cable subscription, and that’s okay. Here are three genuinely free options you can try:

• Over‑the‑air antenna: If you live within range of an NBC affiliate, a simple indoor antenna will pull in the live feed without a monthly bill.
• NBC app: Download the free NBC Sports app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. Log in with a free email address and you’ll stream the round live, provided your region supports it.
• Free‑trial streaming services: Platforms like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV often offer a seven‑day trial. Sign up, watch the final round, and cancel before the trial ends – no charge, no commitment.

Pro tip: set a reminder to start the stream a few minutes early. The first few holes can be a bit quiet, but you’ll soon be drawn into the drama as the leaderboard shifts.

Friday tee‑off times

The final round isn’t a single start; players tee off in groups every ten minutes, beginning at 9:00 a.m. ET. The early starters typically include the leaders, so if you want to catch the big names right away, aim for the first two tee‑times (9:00 a.m. and 9:10 a.m.). The last group will tee off around 11:30 a.m. ET, giving everyone a chance to finish before dusk.

Check your local TV listings for any slight variations in start time based on your market, but the overall window stays consistent nationwide.

Wrapping up

Whether you’re glued to an antenna, streaming on your phone, or scrolling through a free trial, the final round of the US Open is within easy reach. Mark your calendar, set those reminders, and settle in for a day of elite golf that could decide a new champion. Enjoy the round – and may the best player win.
