Which Open Championship edition is listed as the next one after the 2026 Open?

The Open Championship edition listed next after the 2026 Open is the 2027 Open Championship.

The 2026 tournament is the 154th Open Championship, scheduled for Royal Birkdale in Southport, England. The following year’s event is the 155th Open and is scheduled to return to the Old Course at St Andrews, one of the championship’s historic venues and the site of the 150th Open in 2022.

The numbering can cause confusion because The Open is also commonly called the British Open, especially in the United States. The official name is The Open Championship, and the editions are numbered consecutively: 2025 was the 153rd, 2026 the 154th, and 2027 the 155th.

Royal Birkdale’s 2026 staging is notable because it marks the championship’s return to the course after its previous Open in 2017, won by Jordan Spieth. The R&A’s published rotation places St Andrews next in 2027, rather than either of the later alternatives listed in the quiz.
