Quick Answer: Watch the 2024 Players Championship with a free trial to DirecTV Stream Choice, or with a subscription to ESPN+

It’s time for one of the PGA Tour’s biggest stops as the world’s top golfers descend on TPC Sawgrass for the 2024 Players Championship. The winner of this year’s Players Championship will walk off the course with 600 FedExCup points (the same as the four majors) and $4.5 million of the tournament’s $25 million purse. That’s the biggest purse and winner’s take of any event in 2024, newly increased since last year.

If you’re looking to watch The Players Championship live this year, read on. Below is our full guide on how to stream The Players Championship online in 2024, plus a couple of hacks that let you watch The Players Championship for free.

How to Watch The Players Championship Online

The 2024 Players Championship will be broadcast on cable and satellite TV through Golf Channel and NBC. But, if you’ve cut the cord, you can watch the tournament through a live TV streaming service, Peacock, or ESPN+. Check out details on all your options here:

1. Stream The Players Championship on DirecTV Stream

You can also watch The Players Championship online by getting a live TV streaming service, such as DirecTV Stream. The service’s Choice package includes over 105 channels, including NBC and Golf Channel for The Players Championship, and even comes with premium streaming services like HBO Max for free to sweeten the deal. DirecTV Stream’s Choice package costs $108.99 a month, but your subscription starts with a five-day free trial before you pay (that’ll last through the whole tournament).

2. Stream The Players Championship on ESPN+

One easy way to watch The Players Championship is with ESPN+, which will let you watch the whole tournament live online. An ESPN+ subscription costs $10.99 a month or $109.99 a year (the annual option saves about 17% over 12 months). Sadly, though, there’s no free trial.

3. Stream The Players Championship on Peacock

Peacock will also have livestreams of The Players Championship this year. With a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus plan, you’ll be able to stream the tournament on any device. Peacock Premium costs just $5.99 a month, or you can upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus, which removes ads for Peacock’s on-demand content and costs $11.99 a month.

4. Stream The Players Championship on Sling

Another great live TV streaming service that you can use to watch The Players Championship online is Sling. Combine the Sling Blue plan with Sling’s Sports Extra add-on and you’ll get live access to NBC and Golf Channel, as well as 51 other live TV channels. Sling Blue starts at $40 a month and the Sling Sports Extra add-on costs $11 a month. However, Sling is running a deal right now that knocks 50% off your first month of Sling Blue, bringing your first bill down to a total of just $31.

How to Watch The Players Championship for Free Online

If you want to watch The Players Championship for free online (legally), you can do so by getting a five-day free trial to DirecTV Stream or a seven-day free trial to fuboTV. Both live TV streaming services offer Golf Channel and NBC as part of their channel lineups, which you’ll be able to access free of charge during their free trials. Just remember to cancel your subscription before the trial is over to avoid being charged.
