The BMW PGA Championship returns on Sunday, 20 September 2026, with UK coverage starting at 12:00 and a strong broadcast line-up across radio, free-to-air highlights, streaming and pay-TV options for viewers in Britain, the United States and across Europe. In the UK, fans can follow live updates on BBC Radio 5 Live, watch highlights later on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, and catch extended live coverage through Sky Sports Golf and Sky Sports Main Event; the event is also available on the DP World Tour Featured Groups feed and the DP World Tour FAST Channel.
Iain Carter will report for BBC Radio 5 Live, bringing the voice of one of the BBC’s most familiar golf specialists to the championship. Carter has been the BBC’s golf correspondent for many years and has also covered major championships and Ryder Cup golf, making him a trusted presence for listeners who want sharp analysis and clear reporting from the course.
For the televised highlights on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, Sarah Mulkerrins presents the programme. Mulkerrins is a seasoned sports broadcaster with experience across major events and a reputation for calm, polished presentation, making her a natural fit for a highlights package designed to appeal to both regular golf fans and casual viewers.
The most extensive live coverage comes from the DP World Tour Featured Groups stream, where Alison Whitaker and Tony Johnstone lead commentary, supported by Sam Torrance as co-commentator and on-course voices Iona Stephen and Anthony Wall. Whitaker, a former amateur standout, has become a regular on golf coverage, while Johnstone and Torrance both bring deep Tour experience and tournament pedigree that add genuine authority to the broadcast.
On Sky Sports Golf and Sky Sports Main Event, the coverage is fronted by Nick Dougherty, who has become one of the most recognisable figures in golf broadcasting after a playing career on the European Tour and a smooth transition into presenting. Commentary includes Andrew Coltart and Dominik Holyer, with analysis from Paul McGinley, David Howell and Ken Brown. Coltart, a former professional and Ryder Cup player, is widely respected for his insight, while McGinley’s leadership credentials, Howell’s modern Tour perspective and Brown’s long broadcasting career give Sky a well-balanced panel. Tim Barter reports from inside the ropes, with Wayne Riley, Iona Stephen and Anthony Wall providing on-course colour and atmosphere.
Sky Sports News will also feature Jamie Weir, whose reporting style has made him a familiar face across golf and wider sport. Meanwhile, talkSPORT will have Rupert Bell reporting, offering another route for fans who prefer radio-style coverage and sharp tournament updates.
For viewers outside the UK, the DP World Tour feeds remain the key option, particularly the Featured Groups stream and FAST Channel, which allow global audiences to follow selected players and key moments from one of the European Tour’s biggest events. The BMW PGA Championship has long been one of the flagship tournaments on the calendar, and its broadcast team reflects that status with a mix of elite players, experienced reporters and polished presenters.
As ever, the combination of free-to-air highlights, radio coverage and premium live television gives fans across Britain, America and Europe plenty of ways to follow the action at Wentworth. With established names such as Nick Dougherty, Paul McGinley, Sam Torrance and Iain Carter involved, the 2026 BMW PGA Championship is set to be covered by one of the strongest broadcasting line-ups in golf.
