It’s a stacked lineup for the Independence Day weekend at Deere Run, with an $8.8 million prize up for grabs at the 2026 John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois.
Last year’s tournament gave Brian Campbell his second win on the PGA Tour. His play on the first playoff hole was enough to end Seamus Power’s challenge.
Normally serving as a warm-up for next week’s Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, this year’s event has Ben Griffin, Tom Kim and Keegan Bradley among the pre-tournament favourites. Two-time winner Jordan Spieth will also be there, looking to end his four-year wait for a win on the PGA Tour.
PGA golfer Brian Campbell won the 2025 John Deere Classic.
What is the US TV schedule for the 2026 John Deere Classic?

For more information, live coverage of the PGA Tour takes place Thursday through Sunday on ESPN Plus, featuring the main feed, marquee teams, featured teams and featured hole coverage.

Stream the John Deere Classic 2026 live in the US
The main TV coverage in the US is on CBS, which will be showing the final stages of the tournament. That installation will also be available for viewing via the Paramount Plus streaming service.
Paramount Plus has two main subscription plans in the US: Basic for $9 per month and Premium Plus for $14 per month. Both offer John Deere Classic coverage.
The cheaper Essential option has the necessary streaming ads, but lacks the CBS live feed and the ability to download shows to watch offline later. Students may qualify for a 25% discount.
Live coverage of the PGA Tour on all four days, Thursday through Sunday, is available on ESPN Plus, which will provide the main feed, marquee teams, featured teams and featured hole coverage.
ESPN Plus is accessible through the network’s ESPN Select or ESPN Unlimited streaming packages. ESPN Select carries ESPN Plus and is a cheaper option at $13 per month.
ESPN’s broadcast platforms have been shaken up in recent months. The sports network now offers two tiers of its new direct-to-consumer setup: ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited. ESPN Select is essentially what ESPN Plus used to be, with the same content available to subscribers, including PGA golf, for $13 a month. If you want full access to ESPN networks and services, such as ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNews and ESPN Deportes, as well as all ESPN Select content, then ESPN Unlimited is the way to go. It costs $30 a month.
Golf Channel’s coverage of the preliminary rounds of the tournament can be broadcast via Peacock.
Peacock currently costs $11 per month for the ad-supported Peacock Premium plan and $17 per month for the ad-free Peacock Premium Plus plan.
The four major live TV streaming services also offer The Golf Channel.
Hulu with Live TV starts at $90 per month for an ad-supported bundle and includes the Golf Channel. Click the “View stations in your area” link on its homepage to see what local stations are offered in your ZIP code.
