Free streaming on R&A TV
The Open organisers, The Royal & Ancient, are hosting free live streaming of The Open 2025 on their own platform, R&A TV. You don’t need to sign up or pay – just click and play.
Free coverage via R&A TV is not comprehensive, so won’t jump around all the important moments as they happen, but instead hones in on certain parts of the action via dedicated feeds.
Featured Groups: Each day, up to four groupings will be followed by the cameras in their entirety, so you can watch every shot they play. The chosen groups tend to be those with the biggest names involved.
Par-3 Channel: There is a dedicated feed for two of the most iconic holes at Royal Portrush, the par-3 6th and 16th. You can watch every player on Harry Colt’s (6th) and the notorious Calamity Corner (16th) throughout the four days of play.
Live at the Range: R&A TV will also be broadcasting from the practice range, with viewers able to watch the players warm up and fine tune their strokes, and sometimes even drop by for interviews with the presenting team. Coverage runs from 7.30am to 11am and 12.30pm to 4pm BST on Thursday and Friday.
