The Masters TV schedule: How to watch Masters Coverage and live stream

How to watch The Masters coverage as we break down the TV schedule, how to live stream, how to watch Tiger Woods and more for Augusta. 

Cue up Jim Nantz and the music, it’s time for the annual trip to Augusta National Golf Club for the first major of the year: The Masters. Tiger Woods is returning to competition after over a year away recovering from his severe injuries that resulted from his car accident. Rory McIlroy is chasing the career grand slam. Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm are aiming for their place in immortality.

Those storylines are just the tip of the iceberg this week at Augusta. It’s a loaded field, everyone with a storybook ending to write on these hallowed golfing grounds. That’s what makes The Masters such an incredible event every year.

Particularly with Tiger’s return, though, golf fans around the world are going to be ready to watch as much from Augusta as possible. How can you do that? We have you covered with a full-blown coverage map and guide for how to tune in this week.

ESPN coverage of The Masters

ESPN will have streaming coverage for the entirety of the tournament on ESPN+. Beyond that, however, they also have the TV coverage on Thursday and Friday for the first and second rounds, respectively. The broadcasts will begin at 3 p.m. ET each day and conclude at 7:30 p.m. ET

CBS Masters coverage

After the first two days are on ESPN, CBS will take over the weekend TV coverage of the event. On Saturday for Round 3, the broadcast will run from 3-7 p.m. ET. There is an earlier start time for the coverage on Sunday for the final round, though, as the telecast runs from 2-7 p.m. ET.

Watch Tiger Woods Masters Coverage: Tee times, group

All eyes at The Masters will be on Tiger Woods this week and for good reason as he makes his miraculous return. He will tee off in the middle of the field on Thursday for Round 1 with Louis Oosthuizen and Joaquin Niemann at 10:34 a.m. ET. For Round 2 on Friday, that group with Tiger will tee off in the early afternoon at 1:41 p.m. ET.

The Tiger Woods group will almost certainly be featured in Featured Groups coverage, so ESPN+ will have all you need. And to watch every shot from Woods, Masters.com has a player-by-player feed for every swing. If all else fails, there will be plenty of coverage around Woods when ESPN and CBS — if he makes the cut — take over for the telecast.
