📆 All the action kicks off on Friday, March 1st and wraps up Sunday, March 3rd. American fans better get used to waking up early, as the first events each day kick off at 5 am E.T., but most of the finals are relatively easy to watch as the afternoon sessions each day are between 2 pm and 5 pm E.T. A full timetable of events can be found here.
💻 The whole championships is streaming live on Peacock (subscription required), but unfortunately, the only live TV window will be Sunday, 2-5 pm E.T., on CNBC. You can find a full streaming/TV schedule here.
🔜 We'll be sharing Anderson's daily recaps and dispatches from Scotland on the CITIUS MAG Podcast feed and YouTube channel.
Keep tabs on the CITIUS MAG YouTube channel as he'll be uploading tons of interviews from the mixed zone there. We'll be sharing live updates on Twitter/X; Instagram and Threads all throughout the weekend.
