98 years after the world's best golfers first descended on the Oakmont Country Club to compete in the US Open, they've done the same this week for the 125th playing of America's oldest major golf tournament. You can watch US Open 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

It's not since the days of Tiger Woods that a player seemed a more overwhelming favorite to win a major than Scottie Scheffler was as he headed to Oakmont this week. The world number 1 is on fire in 2025, having added the PGA Championship to his growing tally of major victories.
Rory McIlroy was touted as among the men most likely to challenge him, after finally sealing his career Grand Slam at the Masters. Americans Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa and reigning champion Bryson DeChambeau were all fancied, too, with LIV rebel and 2021 winner Jon Rahm also expected to threaten.
But Oakmont is not a course for the faint of heart, and the biggest names have all so far failed to tame it. Two time champ Brooks Koepka is sitting two shots off the lead, with an unlikely duo of players ahead of him in J.J. Spaun and Thriston Lawrence. Are we set for a surprise champion akin to Wyndham Clark two years ago?
Below is a complete guide to where to watch US Open 2025 live streams no matter where in the world you are. Plus, some key Round 2 tee times and a roundup of the top of the Round 1 leaderboard.

Watch US Open 2025 live streams from anywhere
The 2025 US Open live streams will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
You can still watch the golf thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software enables your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So it is ideal for sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
Using a VPN is incredibly simple:
1. Download and install a VPN — as we say, our top choice is NordVPN.
2. Connect to the appropriate server location — open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate server location.
3. Go to the broadcaster's stream — head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch as if you were at home.

What is the format for the 2025 US Open?
The US Open is the third major of the 2025 season year and, like the others, is played as a four-round individual strokeplay competition. There is a halfway cut, so only the top 60 positions plus ties go through to play the final two rounds. If two or more players are tied for the lead after 72 holes, there will be a two-hole aggregate playoff to decide the winner.
