When Does the Ryder Cup Start? 2025, 2027 Dates & Times

The Ryder Cup tees off September 26–28, 2025, at Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York, with Team USA captain Keegan Bradley facing Luke Donald’s Europeans. This biennial showdown generates enough buzz to fill a sports weekend twice over, but pinning down the exact schedule can feel like its own tournament. Whether you’re planning a watch party or just want to know when to turn on the television, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming Ryder Cups through 2027.

Next Ryder Cup: September 26-28, 2025 · Venue 2025: Bethpage Black Course, New York · 2027 Dates: September 17-19 · 2027 Venue: Adare Manor, Ireland · Frequency: Every two years

Five key dates, two venues, one enduring rivalry: the Ryder Cup rotates between the United States and Europe on a strict biennial schedule.

What time is the Ryder Cup starting?

The 2025 Ryder Cup competition tees off on Friday, September 26, with the first foursomes matches scheduled to begin at 7:10am ET (12:10pm UK time). The PGA TOUR tournament page confirms Bethpage Black as the host venue for this edition, marking the first time the championship has been held at this iconic New York state park course.

“Bethpage Black’s reputation as a demanding public course — it was designed as a public facility and later ranked among America’s finest — adds an interesting dimension to the 2025 matches.”

Round 1 start time

Friday morning’s foursomes matches begin at 7:10am ET, with Team USA opting to start with foursomes in the morning session, matching Europe’s 2023 format. According to the National Club Golfer tee times report, this mirrors the format that proved successful for Luke Donald’s European squad two years earlier.

Full daily schedule

Beyond the main competition, there are several events surrounding the three-day matches. Practice days are scheduled for Monday 22 September, Tuesday 23 September, and Thursday 25 September, allowing teams final preparation time on the Black Course.

The All-Star Match is scheduled for Wednesday 24 September from 7:45am ET, followed by the Opening Ceremony at 4:00pm ET that same day, per Golf Magic schedule report.

Saturday 27 September fourball matches start at 12:25pm ET (5:25pm UK time), while Sunday’s decisive singles matches begin at 12:02pm ET (5:02pm UK/Irish time) and finish at approximately 2:03pm ET.

For American golf fans, the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black presents a rare opportunity to watch top professional competition at a course originally designed as a public facility. The New York venue’s reputation for demanding precision off the tee — combined with the Ryder Cup’s match-play intensity — creates conditions that could favor either team depending on who handles the pressure better.

What time does round 1 of the Ryder Cup start?

Round 1 of the 2025 Ryder Cup — officially the Friday foursomes and fourball sessions — begins at 7:10am ET from Bethpage Black. The PGA TOUR tournament page lists the full tee-time schedule, though detailed pairings are typically released closer to the event.

“There are 28 total matches in the Sunday singles competition, making the final day the most demanding on the calendar.”

Tee times details

The National Club Golfer reports that there are 28 total matches in the Sunday singles competition, making the final day the most demanding on the calendar. For fans watching from the UK, the time difference means waking up early: Friday’s 7:10am ET start translates to 12:10pm BST.

Sunday singles

Sunday’s singles matches are the Ryder Cup’s dramatic crescendo. All 12 players from each team compete simultaneously in match-play format, with the aggregate point total determining the winner. The National Club Golfer notes that Sunday’s schedule runs from 12:02pm ET through approximately 2:03pm ET.

The implication: Bethpage Black’s challenging layout may neutralise home advantage, making captaincy decisions and player psychology decisive factors.

What channel will the Ryder Cup be on?

Television coverage varies by region, but golf fans in the United States can expect coverage on NBC and Golf Channel, with Golf Magic broadcast report reporting that Golf Channel provides live coverage from 8:00am-4:00pm ET on Wednesday 24 September for the Opening Ceremony broadcast.

TV broadcast regions

The Ryder Cup Official broadcast schedule confirms that Opening Ceremonies are broadcast at 8:00pm-9:00pm UTC on the official Ryder Cup platforms. UK viewers traditionally tune in through Sky Sports, while Irish coverage typically airs on RTÉ or Sky Sports.

Streaming options

For viewers without traditional cable access, the official Ryder Cup app and website provide streaming options. The Ryder Cup Official broadcast schedule indicates that digital streaming is available through their official platforms during key match sessions.

“Irish golf fans traditionally watch the Ryder Cup through Sky Sports, which holds broadcast rights for much of Europe.”

What this means: cord-cutters can access official streaming, but regional blackouts may still apply for some markets.

When is the next Ryder Cup?

The next Ryder Cup is scheduled for September 26-28, 2025, at Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York. PGA TOUR confirms this as the official venue and date, with Team USA captain Keegan Bradley and Team Europe captain Luke Donald leading their respective squads.

2025 details

Beyond the core competition dates, the full 2025 Ryder Cup week includes practice rounds Monday through Thursday, the All-Star Match on Wednesday morning, and the Opening Ceremony that evening. This comprehensive schedule gives teams multiple opportunities to adapt to Bethpage Black’s challenging layout.

2026 and 2027 locations

Looking further ahead, the 2027 Ryder Cup will take place at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland, from September 17-19. According to Sky Sports, this marks the centenary edition of the event, as the Ryder Cup celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2027 (originally contested in 1927). The biennial cycle means no Ryder Cup is scheduled for 2026, with the next opportunity after 2027 coming in 2029.

The catch: the two-year gap between 2025 and 2027 creates a fallow period for fans craving annual competition, but also builds anticipation for the centenary showdown in Ireland.

Where is the Ryder Cup 2026?

There is no Ryder Cup scheduled for 2026. The event follows a biennial rotation, meaning it is held every two years — alternating between venues in the United States and Europe. Ryder Cup Official confirms the schedule: 2025 in New York, then 2027 in Ireland, then returning to a US venue in 2029.

2027 venue and tickets

The 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor represents a significant home advantage for European golf fans. Located in County Limerick, Adare Manor has established itself as one of Ireland’s premier golfing destinations. Ticket sale dates for 2027 have not yet been announced, but based on previous cycles, public ticket releases typically occur 12-18 months before the event.

How often held

The Wikipedia entry on the Ryder Cup confirms this biennial schedule, which has been in place since the event’s inception in 1927. This consistent rhythm means fans can plan their viewing — or travel — well in advance.
