Watch the Dubai Desert Classic golf final round in the US

Fans in the US can watch the final round of the 2025 Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the Golf Channel.

The Golf Channel is owned by NBC but the action won't make it to the broadcasting giant's main channel and will instead stay on the dedicated Golf Channel.

The Golf Channel is is available on cable TV packages, and existing cable customers can get a simulcast online via the NBC Sports App. However, there is no dedicated streaming option from NBC for this tournament, which won't be available on Peacock.

That means those looking to stream the Dubai Desert Classic will need to opt for a cord-cutting cable TV streaming service, which basically gets you cable TV, but online. There are a fair few providers out there now, but two leading options are Sling TV and Fubo.

The Golf Channel is available on Sling TV with the Sling Blue package ($50.99 per month) and the Sports Extra add-on ($11 per month).

That's $61.99 a month, but there's an offer on currently where you get your first month of Sling Blue half-price, for a total of $36.50 with Sports Extra.
