Watch BMW Championship 2026 live streams
The BMW Championship marks the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs and will be played at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri.
Scottie Scheffler, the world number one, defending BMW Championship winner, as well as the current leader of the FedExCup standings, enters the tournament as the favourite. Fresh off a dominant win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last weekend, he’ll be looking to extend his lead and take one step closer to winning the whole thing at the Tour Championship in Atlanta next week.
Challenging Scheffler will be the 2025 FedExCup champion Tommy Fleetwood, three-time winner Rory McIlroy (though he hasn’t won in the last ten years), 2023 winner Viktor Hovland, and top qualifiers England's Matt Fitzpatrick, Americans Cameron Young and Wyndham Clark, and South Korea’s Kim Si-woo.

How can I watch BMW Championship 2026 for free
Golf fans in Canada are in luck! Rounds 3 & 4 of the BMW Championship are free-to-air on CTV 2, though it requires a TV login or a digital TV antenna.
Elsewhere, the BMW Championship 2026 isn't directly available to stream for free, but those in the US and Australia can benefit from free trials to catch the action without paying a penny.
In the US, since coverage is shared between ESPN and CBS/Paramount+, you can utilize the free trial periods of live TV services such as DirecTV Stream (5-day free trial) and Hulu+Live TV (3-day free trial).
You can also grab Paramount Plus Premium with a Walmart Plus 30-day trial for $1 to watch Rounds 3 & 4 for practically nothing.
In Australia, golf fans can use Kayo Sports' 7-day free trial.
Outside your home country at the moment? Use Proton VPN to unlock your free stream from anywhere in the world.
Watch BMW Championship 2026 live streams from anywhere
You won't be able to watch your regular BMW Championship 2026 live streams while traveling abroad. The streaming service will spot that you're in a foreign country and block you.
You can use a VPN (virtual private network) to get around this, though. It's a straightforward piece of software that sets your device to appear as if it's in a different country, allowing you to watch any BMW Championship 2026 live stream from anywhere in the world.
We rate Proton VPN as one of the best VPNs for streaming sport. It offers a 30-day guarantee for all your money back if you're not happy with the service.

ESPN Unlimited carries all ESPN channels, including ESPN Select. It costs $29.99/month or $299.99/year, and you also have the option to bundle it with Disney Plus and Hulu for $35.99/month.
You will need to get a Paramount Plus Premium ($13.99/month) subscription to access all the simulcast coverage of CBS. Remember, you can get Paramount Plus for FREE with a Walmart Plus 30-day trial for $1.
But if you'd like everything in one place, we recommend a live TV service that includes both ESPN and CBS.
These include FuboTV, YouTube TV, Hulu+Live TV, or the DirecTV Stream MySports Genre Pack. All these offer handy free trials, allowing you to potentially watch the four-day BMW Championship for free.
To access your usual streaming service from outside the US, you'll need to download a good VPN, as detailed above.
