The latest edition of the Solheim Cup gets underway Friday in the Netherlands — and in the early Friday morning hours for those in the States — as Europe tries to take down the Americans and regain the Cup on its home soil. Here’s what you need to know.
How to watch the Solheim Cup Friday
The last Solheim Cup, in 2024 in Virginia, was highlighted by a Sunday singles showdown between stars Nelly Korda and Charley Hull. Hull won easily, 6 and 4, although the Americans still won the event, 15.5-12.5.

Now those two will face off again in the first day of the 2026 edition, although this time alongside teammates.
Korda will pair with Allisen Corpuz and Hull with Lottie Woad in the first of four foursomes (alternate shot) matches on Friday. They’ll tee off at 1:40 a.m. ET, with three foursomes matches to follow. (Korda and Corpuz are 4-0 together in foursomes matches in 2023 and 2024.)

This is the 20th playing of the Solheim Cup and will take place at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, Netherlands. The U.S. leads the all-time series 11-8. Before the Americans won in 2024, Europe won in 2019, 2021 and retained the Cup when the teams tied in 2023.
