You’ve waited many long months, and now the 2026 Masters has arrived at Augusta National. But did you know you can watch the entire tournament free of charge online? Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the Masters for free this week.

How to watch Masters free online

The Masters has always featured limited TV coverage compared to other major championships. While the coverage has increased over the years, fans are still limited to four-and-a-half hours on ESPN Thursday and Friday, and five hours on CBS Saturday and Sunday.

Alternatively, in recent years Masters streaming options have exploded. This year, there are more platforms than ever offering Masters streaming coverage. They include the ESPN App, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+ and DirecTV. Paramount+ will provide early coverage on the weekend, and Prime Video will stream early coverage on Thursday and Friday for the first time.

In addition to multiple featured hole streams, featured group streams and videos of every shot hit at the tournament, Masters.com and the Masters App are offering something truly rare this year. You can watch all of the TV coverage, plus the early Prime Video and Paramount+ streaming coverage for free.
