When to watch the BMW Championship 2026<\/p>\n

The tournament runs from Thursday, Aug. 20, to Sunday, Aug. 23.<\/p>\n

Where to watch<\/p>\n

The BMW Championship 2026 will stream in the US on Paramount Plus and ESPN Select.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The field is now whittled down to 50 players following last weekend\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

For more comprehensive coverage, PGA Tour livestreaming takes place Thursday through Sunday on ESPN Select, offering main action feeds, marquee groups, featured groups and featured hole coverage. If you want to upgrade, content can also be streamed through the ESPN Unlimited package.\u00a0<\/p>\n
