Is There a Ryder Cup in 2026? No — It Is Biennial, and the Next One Is 2027
There is no 2026 Ryder Cup: it is biennial. Bethpage Black hosted in 2025 and the next is September 13-19, 2027 at Adare Manor. The 2026 team event is the Presidents Cup, September 22-27.
The short answer: there is no 2026 Ryder Cup
The Ryder Cup is not an annual event. Its official site describes it as "the biennial contest between Europe and the United States," and the current cycle falls in odd-numbered years. Bethpage Black in New York hosted in 2025, following Marco Simone in Italy in 2023 and Whistling Straits in Wisconsin in 2021. The next edition is 2027.[1]
As of September 2026, the Ryder Cup official site leads with September 13-19, 2027 at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland. Its current news items are about that 2027 edition — including the United States selection criteria, under which qualifying points accumulate from January 24, 2027 through August 22, 2027. There is no 2026 competition on the official calendar.[1]
Why searches for "2026 Ryder Cup" return confident, conflicting answers
Search results for a 2026 Ryder Cup are dominated by aggregator pages that present full schedules, tee times and viewing guides. They disagree with one another: some list September 25-27, others September 26-28. A schedule that varies by source is a warning sign, because a real fixture has one set of dates.[1]
The underlying confusion is the venue. Bethpage Black genuinely did host a Ryder Cup, but in 2025. Pages that pair "Bethpage Black" with a 2026 date are describing the 2025 event with the year changed. Because the course name checks out, the error is easy to miss.[1]
What is actually on in 2026: the Presidents Cup
The team golf event scheduled for 2026 is the Presidents Cup, held at Medinah Country Club from September 22-27, 2026. Its official site states that Brandt Snedeker's United States team will look to retain the Cup against Geoff Ogilvy's International team, and that captains have announced their six picks each.[2]
This is a different competition, not a substitute name for the Ryder Cup. The Presidents Cup is run by the PGA TOUR and matches the United States against an International team drawn from outside Europe, whereas the Ryder Cup is United States against Europe. The two alternate years, which is why a September team event exists in 2026 even though the Ryder Cup does not.[1][2]
How to check this yourself
Two checks settle it. First, open the Ryder Cup official site and read the date in the site header; as of September 2026 it reads September 13-19, 2027, Adare Manor. Second, check which year a venue actually hosted — the official venue history lists Bethpage Black under 2025. If a page gives a 2026 Ryder Cup date, compare it against both, and treat a schedule that no two sites state identically as unverified.[1]

Frequently asked
Is there a Ryder Cup in 2026?
No. The Ryder Cup is biennial, held in odd-numbered years in the current cycle. Bethpage Black hosted in 2025 and the next edition is September 13-19, 2027 at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland. Pages advertising a "2026 Ryder Cup" at Bethpage Black are describing the 2025 event.
Why do so many sites list 2026 Ryder Cup dates at Bethpage Black?
Bethpage Black did host a Ryder Cup, but in 2025. Aggregator pages frequently relabel that event with a 2026 date, and they do not agree with each other: some say September 25-27 and others September 26-28. Neither matches an actual scheduled event, because no 2026 Ryder Cup exists.
What team golf event happens in 2026 instead?
The Presidents Cup, which is held in even-numbered years, takes place at Medinah Country Club from September 22-27, 2026. It pits a United States team against an International team rather than Europe, so it is a different competition, not a renamed Ryder Cup.
When is the Ryder Cup after 2027?
The official site promotes 2027 at Adare Manor as the next edition. Because the contest is biennial, subsequent editions follow in two-year steps, but confirm any later date against the official future venues listing rather than third-party calendars.
