How to watch 2023 US Open in the US
Coverage of the US Open begins on Thursday, June 15, in the US, with coverage throughout the tournament airing across NBC and USA on TV, as well as streaming on Peacock.
NBC is one of the four main networks in the US, meaning that it is available through all traditional pay-TV cable subscriptions but also through a TV antenna, as the device picks up your local NBC station. If you have or are looking to move on to a live TV streaming service, FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV carry NBC as part of their base packages.
USA is a cable channel, which means that it is not necessarily included on all pay-TV subscriptions, but it is on most (just be sure to double check); it also means you can't get it with a TV antenna. As for live TV streaming services, FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV carry it.
Peacock, meanwhile, is a standalone streaming platform. You can sign up for Peacock at a starting price of $4.99 per month, which comes with ads. If you want to remove ads, then you need to subscribe to the $9.99 per month plan.
