The Match is a biannual golf showdown for charity with the first 2023 event taking place at the Wynn Golf Club n the Las Vegas strip in Nevada. NBA and NFL champions Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce will face Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson to earn money for No Kid Hungry, a charity that combats childhood hunger around the US.
Unlike some of the biggest PGA Tour cups, The Match isn't just about the golf, with commentary from Charles Barkley and various challenges over the course of the 12-hole match giving you entertainment whether you're a fan of the sport or not.

How to watch The Match 2023 in the US
Coverage of The Match begins on Thursday, June 29, at 6:30 pm ET/3:30 pm PT, and your best way to watch the proceedings is on cable network TNT. If you have this cable channel you're sorted, though truTV and HLN will be showing simulcasts.
If your cable package doesn't offer one of those channels (or you don't have cable), most live TV streaming services have you covered. Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV have all of them, as does Sling TV on its Blue plan (its Orange plan has TNT). The only major exception is FuboTV, which has none of the channels.
If you're interested in additional supporting content, the Bleacher Report app has expansive coverage plans leading up to and during The Match.
