The 2026 U.S. Open heads into a high-stakes weekend at Shinnecock Hills with Wyndham Clark defending a four-shot lead. Following a brutal weather-disrupted opening stretch, the third men’s major of the year resumes Saturday, June 20. Clark sits at six-under par, taking advantage of shifting winds in Southampton, New York. Pre-tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler faces an uphill climb to keep his career Grand Slam hopes alive after posting a two-over-par 72.
Saturday’s third-round broadcast kicks off on USA Network from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ET, before NBC takes over the feed from 12:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. ET. Sunday’s final round follows a similar television schedule, starting on USA at 9:00 a.m. ET and transitioning to NBC at noon. Fans relying on digital coverage can track the weekend broadcast hours and specific group pairings through Peacock’s multi-view feature. The tournament’s opening hours faced a two-hour fog delay that pushed back tee times and forced competitors into a prolonged waiting game.
Clark capitalized on the delays to build his early advantage, while Rory McIlroy remains firmly in contention under par. For international viewers tracking the early leaderboard stats, Sky Sports provides the broadcast in the UK, TSN carries the action in Canada, and Kayo Sports holds the rights in Australia.
Fans without traditional cable packages can access the NBC and USA feeds through cord-cutting alternatives like Sling TV’s Blue package, YouTube TV, and Hulu + Live TV. Shinnecock Hills, a founding club of the USGA, continues to deliver a punishing test as the field fights for the 2026 championship.
