When to watch the BMW Championship 2026
- The tournament runs from Thursday, Aug. 20, to Sunday, Aug. 23.
Where to watch
- The BMW Championship 2026 will stream in the US on Paramount Plus and ESPN Select.
The battle to reach the top 30 of the FedEx Cup standings reaches its conclusion this weekend with the BMW Championship at the Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis.
The field is now whittled down to 50 players following last weekend’s St. Jude Championship, with the likes of Rickie Fowler, Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas precariously placed and needing big performances to prevent them from missing out on the season-ending Tour Championship.
Scottie Scheffler comes into this weekend’s action as the defending champ and favorite as he looks to make back-to-back victories after claiming his 21st PGA Tour career win at last week’s St. Jude.
What is the US TV schedule for the 2026 BMW Championship?
While the Golf Channel and ESPN both have rights to show Thursday and Friday’s action live, the main linear TV coverage in the US is with CBS. The network will be showing the tournament’s latter stages. That coverage will also be available to watch via streaming service Paramount Plus.
