The 2026 FedEx Cup Playoffs commence on Aug. 13 as the top 69 golfers (formerly 70; Daniel Berger withdrew due to injury) compete in the St. Jude Championship. The four-day tournament, the first of three playoff events, has a $20 million purse at stake ($3.6 million for first place) and, of course, advancement to the BMW Championship. This year’s St. Jude Championship will air across CBS, ESPN and Golf Channel, all three of which can be livestreamed via DirecTV (with a five-day free trial) or Hulu + Live TV.

At a Glance: How to Watch FedEx St. Jude Championship 2026

Since three primary TV networks share broadcasting rights of the tournament (CBS, ESPN and Golf Channel), neither Paramount+ (which will simulcast CBS’s two weekend windows) nor ESPN+ (which will simulcast ESPN’s linear TV coverage on Thursday and Friday mornings) will suffice for full event coverage — only partial. In a similar vein, live TV streaming service Fubo includes both CBS and ESPN (and also offers a five-day free trial), however, due to a carriage dispute, it does not currently carry Golf Channel.

The 2026 St. Jude Championship will be broadcast across CBS, ESPN and Golf Channel from Thursday, Aug. 13 through Sunday, Aug. 16.

Note: ESPN+ (which is also available via DirecTV’s five-day free trial period) will air early morning coverage leading up to the National TV coverage listed above.

The tournament will be broadcast across CBS, ESPN and Golf Channel, all of which can be livestreamed on any streaming service that carries said networks, namely DirecTV (with a five-day free trial) and Hulu + Live TV (more on each plan below). Since the tournament runs for four days and DirecTV’s free trial runs for five, new subscribers can enjoy full PGA Tour event coverage (via its Choice, Ultimate and Premier Signature packages) at no cost.

Alternatively, Fubo includes both CBS and ESPN (and also offers a five-day free trial), however, due to a carriage dispute, it does not currently carry Golf Channel, meaning select windows of coverage will be absent.
