Prepare your preferred hot beverage (I'm more of a tea girl than coffee), grab a couple of stroopwafels and some friends because it's time for the 2026 Solheim Cup!
For the first time ever, women's golf's biggest event is being held in the Netherlands at Bernardus Golf, about 60 miles outside of Amsterdam. And if you're watching from the U.S., you're going to have to adjust your schedule a bit—but trust me, it's worth the early mornings.
The U.S. and European teams will battle it out over three days of match play, with the action getting Friday, Sept. 11 and wrapping up with Sunday's singles matches on Sept. 13. Here's everything American fans need to know about how to watch the 2026 Solheim Cup, including the TV schedule, streaming options and when to tune in.

Format

Foursomes
Foursomes matches will be played on Friday and Saturday morning. Also known as alternate shot, this format has two players competing as a team while playing one ball, with partners alternating shots throughout the hole.
Win your match and you earn one point. A tie earns a half point, while a loss earns none.
Fourball
Friday and Saturday afternoon shifts to fourball.
In this format, both players on each team play their own ball, with the team's lowest score counting on each hole. So while you’re still playing as a pair, you’ve got your own ball and your own score to worry about. The scoring stays the same as Foursomes.
Singles
Then comes Sunday singles.
All 12 players from each team will go head-to-head in individual matches, with each match carrying the same point value as the team formats from the first two days. With 12 matches on the board, Sunday is when everything comes down to the wire.
