Brought to you by NOW.

There’s another great weekend of sport coming up.

There is some top-class sport on over the weekend, from the US Open golf to the NBA Finals, GAA to Formula 1 and two rugby finals.

And here is how to stream it all with a NOW Sports and Sports Extra Membership.

Thursday, June 16.

The third golf major of the year kicks off the weekend’s sporting action with the US Open from The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. It is the first time that the major has been hosted at this venue in 34 years.

Jon Rahm won the tournament last year and the Spanish golfer will be among the favourites for this year’s tournament. Some of the other contenders for the major include world number one Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas, who won the PGA Championship in May.

Rory McIlroy should also be in contention after winning the Canadian Open last weekend.
