LIV Golf Riyadh Under the Lights 2025 will be available to stream on the LIV Golf app, and Fox Sports - LIV's newest media partner. According to their local time, it will be available for the US audience during the morning and day (Eastern Standard Time). This move creates a chance to capture a bigger audience since the PGA Tour WM Phoenix is expected to be available in the afternoon.

Popular LIV golfers like Tyrrell Hatton, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Joaquin Niemann, and Dustin Johnson will be teeing off at the event in Riyadh. Koepka and DeChambeau have experience playing under the lights, following their participation in The Showdown in December. Night golf has started to become common in the sport, including the Ladies European Tour. In 2020, the Omega Dubai Moonlight Classic event was organized under the lights in Dubai.
