Stream The Masters 2018: Watch online

Here’s the how, when and where you can watch the 2018 Masters online and by live stream.

The Masters may be a tradition unlike any other but in this day and age, you may not want to just sit and watch the first major championship of the golf season in the traditional way. So we’re bringing you a number of options so you can stream The Masters from wherever you may be.

For the regular TV folks, all you really need is CBS (also CBS Sports if you want some Masters on the Range preview programming) and ESPN. If that’s what you’re going with, you’ll find the TV schedule below, which may end up applying to some of the streaming options we list here in a minute anyway.

We’ll start with the coverage on Wednesday, which will include the preview on CBS Sports and the Par-3 Contest (which may be in some jeopardy due to weather concerns) on ESPN.

Wednesday, April 4: 9:00-11:00 a.m. ET (CBS Sports); 3:00-5:00 p.m. ET (ESPN)
Thursday, April 5: 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. ET (CBS Sports); 3:00-7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN)
Friday, April 6: 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. ET (CBS Sports); 3:00-7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN)
Saturday, April 7: 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. ET (CBS Sports); 3:00-7:30 p.m. ET (CBS)
Sunday, April 8: 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. ET (CBS Sports); 2:00-7:00 p.m. ET (CBS)

If you’re a cord cutter and are looking for a couple of options to stream The Masters on your TV, you might want to look into a package like YouTube TV or Hulu, which now offers a live-television option. Both have free trials that will allow you to watch the entire tournament at no charge and both have options to stream CBS and ESPN.

As far as other streams are concerned, there’s a lot of nice options out there for you, including watching the action on the WatchESPN app and/or the CBS Sports app. You won’t miss any of the action at Augusta National this way but if you’re looking for even more, there’s also the Masters website.

Following some range time and the Par-3 Contest on Wednesday, the official tournament kicks off on Thursday with the honorary starters early in the morning and you can then have access to Featured Groups most of the day, the regular broadcasts as well as channels for Amen Corner, holes 15 &16 and even the green jacket ceremony on Sunday night.
