The 2026 Open Championship continues on Saturday, July 18, with Round 3 at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England. You can find full Open Championship tee times for Saturday’s third round at the bottom of this post once they are released Friday night.
Once the final putt falls Friday evening at the 2026 Open Championship, the cut will be made, and only then will we know the exact tee times for Saturday at Royal Birkdale.
What we do know is that the players who make the cut will play the third round in pairings of two players based on leaderboard position. The leaders will tee off in the final pairings Saturday afternoon, with the players at the bottom of the leaderboard teeing off in the early morning.
If we look at past Opens, we can get a better idea of what the Round 3 tee times will be. On Saturday at last year’s Open Championship at Royal Portrush, Matt Fitzpatrick and eventual winner Scottie Scheffler played in the final pairing, teeing off at 10:35 a.m. ET. Matti Schmid and Corey Conners kicked off the Saturday proceedings with a 4:35 a.m. ET tee time.
We can expect Saturday tee times for the 2026 Open Championship to fall into a similar window.
You can watch Saturday’s third round of the Open Championship on TV via NBC and USA. USA starts the coverage at 5 a.m. ET, followed by NBC at 7 a.m. ET. You can also stream online coverage via Peacock, including Round 3 featured group coverage and a simulcast of NBC’s Saturday TV coverage.
The complete Round 3 tee times and pairings for the Open Championship will be reproduced below once they are determined.
