The 2026 Solheim Cup is scheduled for September 11–13 at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands, marking the venue's debut as host to the competition. Team USA enters as defending champion following a 15.5–12.5 victory over Team Europe at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia in 2024. For brands, sponsors, and rights holders, the event represents a significant commercial platform in continental Europe, with broad international broadcast distribution and on-site premium hospitality options including the Tap Inn and Brabant Pavilion.
Both teams will be led by first-time captains. Anna Nordqvist will captain Team Europe after nine playing appearances in the event, five of which ended in victory. She recently retired following the 2026 FM Championship, closing an 18-year professional career. Angela Stanford captains Team USA, having played in six Solheim Cups across a career that included one major championship. Nordqvist's captain's picks include Leona Maguire, Julia Lopez Ramirez, Mimi Rhodes, and Nastasia Nadaud. Stanford selected Rose Zhang, Megan Khang, and Lindy Duncan to complete the American roster. Zhang was the standout performer in the 2024 edition, going unbeaten across all four of her matches.
Broadcast coverage will be distributed globally through various regional partners. In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports Golf and Sky Sports Main Event will carry live coverage across all three competition days, with Days 1 and 2 starting at 6:30 a.m. and the final day beginning at 9 a.m. An opening ceremony on September 10 is also scheduled to air on Sky Sports. Industry stakeholders seeking broadcast partnership details or sponsorship opportunities should reference the official Solheim Cup 2026 channels for current rights and commercial availability.
Tickets for the public are priced at $125 for all competition days for adults, with free entry for those aged 16 and under. The overall Solheim Cup series record stands at 11–7–1 in favor of the United States. Current betting markets from Bet365 list Team USA at 10/11 and Team Europe at 21/20, with a 14–14 draw priced at 11/1, reflecting an anticipated close contest between the two sides.
