Sports on TV for April 13 – 19

From the windswept fairways of Santa Cruz to the high-banked ovals of Kansas City, the coming seven days deliver a coast-to-coast buffet of live championship action across broadcast and cable platforms.

Golf dominates the early portion of the schedule, beginning with three days of the Western Intercollegiate at Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, California. The collegiate showcase runs consecutively from Monday through Wednesday and offers a rare mid-week look at the next generation of PGA Tour hopefuls.

Thursday marks the true start of a marathon weekend for stick-and-ball enthusiasts. The 2026 Senior PGA Championship tees off from The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida, while the PGA Tour’s RBC Heritage begins its four-day residency at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Simultaneously, the LPGA Tour’s JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro gets underway at El Caballero Country Club in Los Angeles, ensuring that fans can follow professional golf from dawn to dusk.

LIV Golf League adds another layer to the crowded fairways, opening its three-round Mexico City event at Club de Golf Chapultepec on Friday. Rounds two and three will air Saturday and Sunday on both FS1 and FOX, giving viewers multiple options to track the circuit’s unique team format.

Motor sports share the spotlight. The NTT IndyCar Series spends the entire week on the Streets of Long Beach, with practice sessions on FS1 and FS2, qualifying on FS1, a warmup on race morning, and the marquee Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach live on FOX. NASCAR counters with a Saturday double-header: the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Kansas Lottery 300 on CW from Kansas Speedway, followed by Sunday’s Cup Series AdventHealth 400 on the same 1.5-mile oval. Two-wheeled fans can catch Round 14 of the AMA Supercross Championship from Cleveland on NBC.

College athletics reach a crescendo in Fort Worth, Texas, where ESPN2 carries both NCAA Tournament semifinals on Thursday, then splits the championship-game call with ABC on Saturday night.

Soccer’s English Premier League occupies prime weekend real estate across NBC and USA. Leeds United’s date at Manchester United headlines the Saturday slate, while Sunday offers a triple-dose: Fulham at Brentford, AFC Bournemouth at Newcastle, and Brighton & Hove Albion traveling to Tottenham Hotspur. Arsenal’s visit to Manchester City caps the weekend in a marquee Sunday-night showdown on NBC. ESPN2 adds German flavor with Borussia Dortmund’s trip to TSG Hoffenheim.

With marquee tournaments in golf, pivotal clashes in Premier League, championship-deciding games in college sports, and high-speed drama on both asphalt and dirt, the week’s televised lineup offers something for every stripe of sports fan.
