Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York, hosted the 2025 Ryder Cup (Wikipedia), a public facility known for its demanding layout and passionate New York crowds.

Venue details

Bethpage Black has firmly established itself as one of America’s premier public championship venues. The course previously hosted the US Open twice and the 2019 PGA Championship (Sky Sports), proving it could handle golf’s biggest stage well before Ryder Cup week arrived.

Breakfast at Bethpage offered exclusive streaming content on Peacock from 6–8 a.m. ET on Friday and Saturday mornings (Golf.com), giving viewers an intimate look behind the scenes before the competitive action began.

What time will the Ryder Cup be on in the UK in 2025?

For UK viewers, the five-hour time difference between Eastern Time and British Summer Time means early mornings and late afternoons glued to screens. Friday and Saturday morning foursomes began at 7:10 a.m. ET, translating to 12:10 p.m. UK time (Sky Sports). Sunday’s opening singles at 12:02 p.m. ET meant a 5:02 p.m. UK start time.

UK broadcast schedule

Sky Sports provided comprehensive live coverage, beginning extended programming from September 22 at 9 a.m. UK time on Fridays (Sky Sports). The broadcaster’s multi-channel approach ensured viewers could follow multiple matches simultaneously throughout the weekend.

Time zone adjustments

The consistent five-hour differential between ET and BST (British Summer Time, April–October) meant UK viewers could plan their weekend around a straightforward calculation: add five hours to any Eastern Time start. This applied whether watching on television or tracking live scoring through official digital platforms.

How to watch the Ryder Cup 2025 on TV?

Television coverage split between US and international broadcasters, each tailoring their programming to local audiences.

UK options

Sky Sports served as the primary UK broadcaster (Sky Sports), with coverage extending across multiple days. NOW TV provided streaming access for viewers without traditional subscriptions, while BBC Sport offered highlight packages for those unable to watch live.

Ireland viewing

Irish viewers accessed coverage through Sky Sports Ireland and Virgin Media Television, with regional variations in highlight scheduling. The opening ceremony on Thursday, September 25, aired from 4–5 p.m. ET on Golf Channel (Golf.com), providing advance context before competitive play began.

BBC highlights

BBC Sport’s highlight packages condensed each day’s key moments into evening broadcast slots, serving viewers who preferred condensed recaps over full live coverage. This option proved particularly popular for weekday coverage when early ET start times created impractical viewing windows.
