How to Watch the US Open in Australia

The 2026 US Open is broadcast in Australia on Fox Sports (main coverage on Fox Sports 503, with a dedicated Featured Groups stream on Fox Sports 505) and streaming on Kayo Sports.

Round 1 (Thu 18 June) & Round 2 (Fri 19 June): live coverage from roughly 8:30pm AEST through to mid-morning the next day — the full afternoon US wave plays into the early hours of the following AEST morning.
Round 3 (Sat) & Round 4 (Sun): weekend rounds run overnight, with the final round climaxing in the Monday morning AEST window.

Tee times for Rounds 1 and 2 swap waves — a player who starts in the morning on Thursday tees off in the afternoon on Friday, and vice versa — so the Australians above flip between the Thursday-night and Friday-early-hours windows across the opening two days.
