Masters 2026: TV & Streaming Schedule Revealed

Broadcast Details: Where to Tune In

The Masters tradition continues with extensive coverage on CBS Sports. As in recent years, CBS will be the primary broadcast partner, bringing viewers every crucial shot from Augusta. Coverage will commence on Thursday, April 9th, and continue through Sunday, April 12th. Expect comprehensive coverage from sunrise to sunset each day, capturing the drama as it unfolds.

Here's the scheduled coverage timeframe (all times Eastern):

  • Thursday, April 9th: 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Friday, April 10th: 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Saturday, April 11th: 11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Sunday, April 12th: 11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. ET

Beyond Traditional TV: Live Streaming Options

For those who prefer to watch on their preferred devices, several live streaming options are available. Augusta National continues to enhance its digital offerings. The official Masters website, Augusta.com, and the dedicated Masters app will provide extensive live coverage, including featured groups, hole-in-one replays, and detailed course overviews. This is a great option for those who want to follow specific players or holes.

Paramount+ remains a key streaming partner. Subscribers can access live coverage mirroring the CBS broadcast. Paramount+ offers two tiers:

  • Paramount+ Essential: $5.99/month (with advertisements)
  • Paramount+ Premium: $11.99/month (ad-free)

This provides flexibility for viewers based on their preference for ad-free viewing. It's anticipated that in 2026, even more digital integrations will be available, potentially including virtual reality experiences and interactive course maps.

Featured Groups to Watch in 2026

While the official pairings aren't yet released, speculation is rife about who will headline the featured groups. Based on current form and past Masters performances, expect to see the world's top players grouped together. Assuming continued good health, a grouping of Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, and Viktor Hovland seems highly probable given their consistent performances and rivalry. Another highly anticipated group will likely feature Jon Rahm, the ever-popular Tiger Woods (hoping for another strong showing after his recent performances), and Brooks Koepka.

Tentative schedule based on 2024 groupings (subject to change):

  • Thursday: Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland (7:10 a.m. ET)
  • Thursday: Jon Rahm, Tiger Woods, Brooks Koepka (9:50 a.m. ET)
  • Friday: Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland (9:10 a.m. ET)
  • Friday: Jon Rahm, Tiger Woods, Brooks Koepka (11:20 a.m. ET)
  • Saturday: Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland (10 a.m. ET)
  • Saturday: Jon Rahm, Tiger Woods, Brooks Koepka (11:20 a.m. ET)
  • Sunday: Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland (10 a.m. ET)
  • Sunday: Jon Rahm, Tiger Woods, Brooks Koepka (11:20 a.m. ET)

Early Contenders and Dark Horses

Scottie Scheffler remains the player to beat. His exceptional ball-striking and composure under pressure make him a perennial threat at Augusta. Xander Schauffele is consistently near the top of leaderboards and is considered a serious contender. Viktor Hovland's powerful game could also translate to success at The Masters.

Keep an eye on potential dark horses like Rory McIlroy, who is always a fan favorite and desperately seeking his first Masters title, and emerging talents like Ludvig Aberg, who could make a splash if his form continues to climb. The unpredictable nature of Augusta National means that anyone with a hot putter and a bit of luck can contend for the green jacket.

With the 2026 Masters just around the corner, golf fans are in for a treat. Whether you prefer to watch on TV or stream live, make sure to mark your calendars and prepare to witness golfing history.
