Le Golf National will be the host of the men’s golf tournament at the 2024 Olympics, which get underway today. Xander Schauffele takes aim at back-to-back gold medals after winning in Tokyo, and with compatriots Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa joining him, there’s a good chance that the United States adds to its medal tally this weekend.
In the United States, you can watch every day of the tournament on either Golf Channel or Peacock. Here’s everything you need to know:
The Golf Channel is available on Fubo, YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream, all of which come with a free trial. That means you can sign up for any of them, watch the entire men’s golf tournament and then cancel your subscription before you have to pay anything.
Moreover, all three of these live-TV streaming services include NBC (live in most markets), USA Network and E!, which is all of the channels that will televise the Olympics.
Normally, we’d suggest Peacock as the top option for any sort of Olympics live stream. That’s because it includes every sport and every moment at the Olympics, allowing you to watch whatever event you want from Paris for just $8 per month.
In this case, though, all of the men’s golf tournament will be televised on the Golf Channel, so if you only care about watching this specific event for free, then one of Fubo, YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream will be the better option since they offer a free trial while Peacock does not.
If you want to watch as much of the Olympics as possible, however, then Peacock is the clear way to go. And for only $8, it’s an incredible value.
Peacock, Fubo, YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream are all US-only options. However, if you’re outside of the country, you can use a virtual private network (VPN) to hide your location and connect to a digital server in the US. This gets you around geo-restrictions, allowing you to stream US-only content even if you’re abroad.
NordVPN is our recommendation, as it’s fast, safe, easy to use and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Or, if you’d like to research some other options, we’ve put together lists of the best VPN services and the best VPN deals that you can take a look at.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
