The 2025 Ryder Cup is finally here, and Team Europe will be desperate to become the first side to win on American soil since the infamous Miracle at Medinah in 2012. Stars like Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, and Tommy Fleetwood will face off against a stacked U.S. team featuring the big-hitting Bryson DeChambeau, the clinical Scottie Scheffler, and rising talent J.J. Spaun. Captains Luke Donald and Keegan Bradley will lead their respective squads onto the iconic Bethpage Black course.

As always, there’s no shortage of ways to watch the 2025 Ryder Cup — but free streams are few and far between.

Luckily, fans in the U.S. have several cord-cutting options offering free trial periods like YouTube TV (5-day free trial), and we’ll walk you through the best ones to take advantage of during this action-packed golf weekend.
