The 2026 Solheim Cup commences Friday in the Netherlands, kicking off in the early morning hours for U.S. audiences as Europe aims to dethrone the Americans and reclaim the trophy on European soil. Below is everything you need to know.
How to Watch the Solheim Cup on Friday
The previous Solheim Cup, held in 2024 in Virginia, featured a memorable Sunday singles match between Nelly Korda and Charley Hull. Hull dominated with a 6-and-4 victory, though the United States ultimately claimed the event with a 15.5-12.5 scoreline.
Korda and Hull will meet once more on the opening day of the 2026 edition, though they will now be accompanied by their respective partners.
Nelly Korda will partner with Allisen Corpuz, while Charley Hull teams up with Lottie Woad for the first of four foursomes (alternate shot) matches on Friday. Their round begins at 1:40 a.m. ET, followed by three additional foursomes sessions. Notably, Korda and Corpuz remain unbeaten in foursomes play, boasting a perfect 4-0 record in 2023 and 2024.
