English star Tyrrell Hatton comes into this first tournament as the favorite ahead of defending individual champion and Legion XIII team captain Jon Rahm.
The tournament has a cool $20 million individual purse and a $5 million team purse as the rewards for the players who best navigate this tricky opening challenge.
Opened in 2005, the Riyadh Golf Club is a parkland course that boasts a 689-yard par-5 second hole as its signature feature.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch every tournament of LIV Golf 2025, no matter where you are in the world, while there’s a full schedule of matches at the foot of the page.

How to watch LIV Golf Riyadh 2025 online from anywhere using a VPN
If you can’t view tournaments locally, you may need a different way to watch this match; this is where a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Australia, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Livestream LIV Golf Riyadh 2025 in the US
FOX Sports recently announced a multi-year agreement to broadcast live coverage of LIV Golf events kicking off this season.
The network is set to show 210 hours of live coverage across its platforms. Most tournaments will air on Fox or FS1, while select rounds will air on FS2, Fox Business Network while the Fox Sports App carry full coverage.
Fox is available on most of the major live TV streaming services. The least expensive such service is Sling TV Blue.
Sling TV’s Blue plan includes NBC, Fox and the NFL Network, though it does not have CBS, ABC or ESPN. Enter your address here to see which local channels are available where you live.
One important caveat: In our experience, Fox local affiliates will only be available if your billing address is in one of the 18 metropolitan areas covered in Sling’s agreement. If you’re outside of one of these areas, you’re probably better off going with one of the alternate services listed below.
Numerous other live TV streaming services carry local Fox stations as well, namely YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, DirecTV Stream and Fubo. They all cost far more than Sling, but they also carry a full complement of live channels. Check out our live TV streaming services guide for details.
For $83 a month, you’ll get access to Fox as well as FS1 and FS2. Plug in your ZIP code on YouTube TV’s welcome page to see which local networks are available in your area.
Fubo costs at least $92 per month when you factor in the RSN fees it charges. Fubo’s base plan costs $80 but it charges an extra $12 a month if you get one RSN or $15 a month if you have two or more in your area. It’s worth noting that Fubo has recently introduced a new $30 off for the first month offer for its Pro, Elite With Sports Plus and Deluxe plans. Click here to see which local channels you get in your region with Fubo. Read our Fubo review.
Hulu Plus Live TV includes Fox in most markets. On its live news page, you can enter your ZIP code under the “Can I watch local news in my area?” question at the bottom of the page to see which local channels you get. Read our Hulu with Live TV review.
All the live TV streaming services above offer free trials, allow you to cancel anytime and require a solid internet connection. Looking for more information? Check out our live TV streaming services guide.
An over-the-air antenna connected to your TV provides another option for Fox. The best part about antennas is that there are no streaming or monthly fees required, although you will need to make sure you have good reception.
Alternatively, the LIV Golf app for mobile and smart TVs also offers full coverage of events for its subscribers to LIV Golf Plus.
Golf fans can watch every tournament on the official LIV Golf app for mobile and smart TVs with a LIV Golf Plus subscription. In addition to full live coverage, subscribers also get access to the app’s Any Shot Any Time feature, customizable feeds and a wealth of exclusive content.
In the US, a season pass for LIV Golf Plus costs $70, while one-off event access costs $7.
Watch LIV Golf Riyadh 2025 for free in the UK and Ireland
As things currently stand, no linear TV deal is currently in place for either region for 2025, and, unlike last season, tournaments will not be available to watch live via YouTube.
The good news is that UK and Irish golf fans will once again be able to watch LIV action live and for free in the UK and Ireland via the official LIV Golf app and website — you’ll just need to set up an account with LIV.
It’s worth noting that this coverage will be geo-restricted, so if you’re outside of the UK and Ireland in a country where LIV coverage requires a subscription, you won’t be able to access tournament livestreams, unless you use a VPN as described above.
Watch LIV Golf Riyadh 2025 in Canada
Canadians looking to watch this year’s LIV Golf will need a subscription to the LIV Golf Plus streaming service.
As with the US, a season pass for LIV Golf Plus is CA$70, with one-off event access priced at CA$7.

The great news for sports fans Down Under is that all 14 tournaments for this year’s LIV Golf series will be available to watch for free on 7Plus, the streaming service of terrestrial network Channel 7.
Quick tips for streaming LIV Golf 2025 using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming LIV Golf action live may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
