Golf fans across the country are already making their plans for the 154th British Open 2026, which returns to Royal Birkdale this July.

The annual event first began in 1889, with its current format first established back in 1922. Since 1954, Royal Birkdale has become one of the preeminent venues for this legendary golfing tournament, and the British Open once again comes to Birkdale in the summer.

Royal Birkdale will host some of the world’s greatest golfers, who must compete in a series of qualifying events to be a part of the British Open. The event offers a tremendous opportunity to witness the greats of the game in action while enjoying the great British summer weather.

The festivities begin on Sunday 12 July 2026, with bespoke practice days making their debut this year, as well as Heroes Classic, which brings the true legends of golf together in a feel-good, light-hearted event. The main competition begins on Thursday 16 July 2026, and after four days of first-class putting, the Champion Golfer is crowned at the end of the British Open on Sunday 19 July 2026.
