The 2026 PGA Championship will be streaming on ESPN+ every day of the tournament. You'll be able to watch any broadcasts listed on the schedule that are on CBS or ESPN on DirecTV or YouTube TV too, and weekend coverage will stream on Paramount+.

ESPN's streaming service is divided into two tiers: ESPN Unlimited and ESPN Select.

For $29.99, the ESPN Unlimited tier includes access to all of ESPN's linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNews, and ESPN Deportes, as well as access to programming on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+, and ACCNX. That means fans will get coverage of more than 47,000 live events each year, plus on-demand replays, original programming, and more.

ESPN Select is also still an option if you don't want to commit to the full package. For $12.99/month, you can tune in and get exclusive access to lots of events, including some of this year's Masters tournament.

For all of ESPN's PGA Championship coverage, you'll want ESPN Unlimited to follow the action on the green this week.

Paramount+ recently increased its prices, but the price bump now includes access to every UFC fight (previously only available via PPV), NFL games on CBS, Champions League soccer, NCAA basketball, and coverage of this year's PGA Championship.

Paramount+ starts at $8.99/month for the ad-supported plan and $13.99/month for the ad-free plan that includes SHOWTIME and access to live CBS 24/7.
