How Can I Stream the Masters?
If you want the most direct route, head to masters.com. The official site streams live coverage of every round without requiring a cable login, and the Masters app extends that experience to mobile devices with bonus camera angles you won’t get on broadcast TV.
Official masters.com streams
The main broadcast runs from 1 PM to 7:30 PM ET, covering all the action from Amen Corner through the 18th green. According to Masters.com’s official guide, the first round splits between Prime Video (1-3 PM ET) and ESPN (3-7:30 PM ET) on television, but masters.com carries everything live from start to finish.
Cable-cutters finally have a genuine option for early Masters coverage, but combining Prime Video with the free masters.com streams covers all bases without a pay-TV subscription.
Masters app features
On iPad, the Masters app supports multi-view, letting you watch up to four channels simultaneously. Featured Groups coverage starts at 9:15 AM ET on Thursday, giving you early looks at marquee pairings before the main broadcast. The app also carries Inside Amen Corner, a dedicated Prime Video stream focusing on holes 11, 12, and 13.
- Masters.com: 1-7:30 PM ET full coverage
- Masters App: Multi-view up to 4 channels on iPad
- Featured Groups: 9:15 AM – 7:30 PM ET
- Amen Corner: 10:45 AM – 6:00 PM ET
2026 Masters Streaming Schedule
The 2026 Masters distributes coverage across multiple windows and platforms. Prime Video makes its debut as a live Masters broadcaster for rounds one and two, handling the early-afternoon slot from 1 PM to 3 PM ET. ESPN then takes over from 3 PM to 7:30 PM ET for both days.
Round times ET
According to GOLF.com’s schedule breakdown, the Featured Groups coverage begins at 9:15 AM ET on Thursday and Friday, giving early access to popular pairings. Holes 4, 5, and 6 receive dedicated coverage from 8:45 AM to 3:30 PM ET on those same days.
| Window | Platform | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| 8:45 AM – 3:30 PM ET | Masters.com, Masters App, ESPN App | Holes 4, 5, 6 |
| 9:15 AM – 7:30 PM ET | Multiple platforms | Featured Groups |
| 10:45 AM – 6:00 PM ET | Prime Video, Masters.com, others | Amen Corner |
| 11:45 AM – 7:00 PM ET | Multiple platforms | Holes 15 and 16 |
| 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET | Prime Video | Early broadcast (Rounds 1-2) |
| 3:00 PM – 7:30 PM ET | ESPN | Main broadcast (Rounds 1-2) |
The implication: viewers who rely solely on Prime Video will miss the critical late-afternoon drama as leaders finish their rounds, so a combined approach delivers complete coverage.
Tee times coverage
Masters On the Range, the pre-tournament show, streams from 12 PM to 2 PM ET on Monday, April 6 via masters.com and the Masters App. This gives viewers practice round insights and player interviews before the competitive rounds begin.
“Prime Video’s window (1-3 PM ET) covers only the early portion of each round.”
— PGA Tour official guide, April 2026
The implication: cable cutters now have genuine options for early Masters coverage, but a combined approach—streaming via Prime Video plus the free masters.com streams—covers all bases without a pay-TV subscription.
Is Amazon Prime Showing the Masters?
Yes. Prime Video streams live coverage of Masters Round 1 and Round 2 from 1 PM to 3 PM ET. This marks the first time Amazon has carried Masters broadcasts, representing a significant shift in how early-round coverage reaches viewers.
Prime Video coverage details
The Prime Video window focuses on the opening portion of each day’s play. According to PGA Tour’s official guide, this includes Inside Amen Corner on Prime Video, providing dedicated coverage of the tournament’s most iconic stretch of holes.
- Round 1: 1-3 PM ET on Prime Video
- Round 2: 1-3 PM ET on Prime Video
- Includes Inside Amen Corner stream
- Available to all Prime subscribers at no extra cost
For viewers who want the full Masters experience on Prime Video, you’ll need a standard Prime membership (starting at $14.99/month or $139/year). The stream is available through the Prime Video app on smart TVs, mobile devices, and web browsers.
How to Watch the Masters in Ireland?
Irish viewers have historically watched the Masters through BBC or ITV, but broadcast rights shift annually. The safest approach is checking masters.com’s official “where to watch” page for your country.
BBC or ITV options?
BBC has carried Masters coverage in previous years, but the 2026 broadcast arrangement requires verification through Masters.com’s international page. Streaming through masters.com directly bypasses regional broadcaster uncertainty entirely.
International broadcast list
Masters.com maintains a comprehensive list of international broadcasters at masters.com/en_US/where_to_watch.html. This page breaks down coverage by territory, showing which networks carry the tournament in each country.
- Check masters.com/where_to_watch for your specific country
- BBC typically covers Masters in UK/Ireland
- masters.com provides free backup stream regardless of region
Irish fans relying on traditional broadcast should verify their 2026 provider before tournament week. The masters.com stream remains the most reliable fallback if your usual channel doesn’t have rights.
The pattern: international viewers face a trade-off between familiar local broadcasters and the universal free option at masters.com. For 2026, checking the official list before the tournament saves scrambling on Thursday morning.
Masters on Disney+, YouTube TV, and Other Platforms
Disney+ is not a confirmed Masters broadcaster for 2026. YouTube TV does carry ESPN, meaning subscribers can watch the 3-7:30 PM ET broadcast window through the platform’s live TV package. CBS streams are available through Paramount+ in addition to traditional television.
Disney+ status
No confirmed announcement links Disney+ to Masters broadcasting rights for 2026. The service focuses primarily on its original content and select sports from the ESPN portfolio, but the Masters remains with its traditional broadcast partners.
YouTube TV
YouTube TV ($82.99/month) includes ESPN and ESPN2, covering the main Masters broadcast window from 3 PM to 7:30 PM ET. The service does not carry CBS, so Round 4 coverage on CBS requires an antenna or an alternative CBS access method.
CBS streams
CBS holds the rights to certain Masters coverage, with streams available through Paramount+. The network’s weekend broadcast typically covers the final round in full, including the traditional Green Jacket ceremony.
| Platform | Masters Coverage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube TV | ESPN 3-7:30 PM ET | No CBS included |
| Paramount+ | CBS broadcasts, Featured Groups | Requires subscription |
| Hulu + Live TV | ESPN included | Check CBS availability |
| DirecTV Stream | ESPN and CBS | Full coverage option |
The implication: cord cutters without Prime Video still have viable options through YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream for ESPN coverage, but getting the full picture across all windows may require combining streaming services or using the free masters.com option for supplementary content.
Weather can delay coverage or affect camera positions, but the Masters app and masters.com handle disruptions by shifting to alternate camera angles. Round delays typically extend coverage on the same platforms.
