The most comprehensive way to watch the 2026 Masters is on Paramount+, which will be live-streaming all the major moments from every round daily.

You'll be able to watch any broadcasts listed on the schedule above that are on CBS, CBS Sports Network, or ESPN on DirecTV or YouTube TV too.
Stream The Masters on Paramount+
Paramount+
Paramount+ increased its prices recently, but that price bump now includes access to every UFC fight (previously only available via PPV), in addition to NFL games on CBS, Champions League soccer, NCAA basketball, and every round of the 2026 Masters tournament.
Paramount+ starts at $8.99/month for the ad-supported plan and $13.99/month for the ad-free plan that includes SHOWTIME and access to live CNS 24/7.
Watch the Masters with ESPN Unlimited
ESPN
ESPN's streaming service is divided into two tiers: ESPN Unlimited and ESPN Select.
For $29.99, the ESPN Unlimited tier includes access to all of ESPN's linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNews, and ESPN Deportes, as well as access to programming on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+, and ACCNX. That means fans will get coverage of more than 47,000 live events each year, plus on-demand replays, original programming, and more.
ESPN Select is also still an option if you don't want to commit to the full package. For $12.99/month, you can tune in and get exclusive access to lots of events, including some of this year's Masters tournament.
For all of ESPN's Masters coverage, you'll want ESPN Unlimited to follow the action on the green this week.
