Streaming giant Netflix is set to take its long-anticipated first swing at live sports this week, with the Netflix Cup — a golf tournament that draws on two of the its most popular docuseries.
Taking place at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas ahead of this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix Formula 1 race, the broadcast is set to bring together four F1 racing stars from Drive to Survive along with four big-name golfers from Full Swing to battle it out in a unique contest.
The matchups will see McLaren driver Lando Norris and golfer Rickie Fowler take on Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz and Justin Thomas. Williams driver Alex Albon will join Max Homa as they take on Alpine’s Pierre Gasly and Collin Morikawa.
The four teams are set to play eight holes in a matchplay format, with some surprise challenges also promised. The winning sides from each foursome will then compete in a playoff hole to crown a winner.
When is The Netflix Cup being broadcast?
This groundbreaking live sport special is set to be broadcast live on Netflix on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 3 p.m. PT (6 p.m. ET).
Viewers will be able to rewind, pause and jump to “live” during the broadcast, and if you start watching late, there will also be a “play from the beginning” option.
If you have to break off, the tournament will remain under the “Continue Watching” row on the Netflix home screen, and will also be available for streaming on demand on Netflix following the live event.
