The Ultimate Go-To Guide for Watching the Masters

Maybe it’s your first Masters—like LeBron James—or maybe it’s your 20th. Regardless, the folks at Augusta National are always trying to maximize the amount of coverage they offer, and this year is no different.

As someone who has some sort of Masters stream on my laptop or TV from Monday morning to Sunday afternoon, I know how to handle the year’s first major championship. So, I figured I could lend a hand to those of you who are new to this or find yourself lost in the Augusta National sauce.

If you weren’t lucky enough to win the lottery—I, too, am part of that group—I got you covered. Here’s a go-to how-to-watch guide to follow next week during the Masters.

How-to-Watch Guide for the Masters

Monday

Monday is the slowest day of the week coverage-wise, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to watch. First of all, Live from the Masters will be on Golf Channel from 2-5 p.m. ET and 7-9 p.m. ET. Just set it on that channel and forget it. Start the week off with good vibes.

Then, from 12-2 p.m. ET, Masters On The Range will be live on Masters.com, the Masters app, Paramount+, CBS Sports Digital, and CBS Sports Network. MOTR is one of my favorite streams of the week. Simply watching the world’s best prepare to play Augusta is must-watch stuff.

Tuesday

Tuesday will have a little more to offer. Live from the Masters will be live from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. ET and 7-9 p.m. ET. MOTR is on from 9-11 a.m. ET. And on the ESPN app, live practice round coverage will air from 12-2 p.m. ET. You’ll get some early glimpses of the golf course.

Wednesday

Wednesday is when we start cooking—you might want to grab multiple screens. Live from the Masters is on throughout the day: 9 a.m.-2 p.m. ET, 4-5 p.m. ET, and 6-9 p.m. ET. MOTR is 9-11 a.m. ET. Practice round coverage is 12-2 p.m. ET.

But it’s also Par 3 Contest day. You can watch it on the ESPN app, Disney+, and Masters.com and the Masters app (12-4 p.m. ET), and on ESPN from 2-4 p.m. ET. The Par 3 is the perfect appetizer for the rest of the week—you won’t want to miss it.

Thursday

Round 1 time. At this point, I’m done with Live from the Masters. It’s time to play some golf. Again, you’re going to need multiple screens.

Grab a cup of coffee for the Honorary Starters Ceremony at 7:30 a.m. ET. Then, move over to MOTR from 8:30-10:30 a.m. ET.

New to the broadcast lineup this year, Prime Video will kick off first-round coverage from 1-3 p.m. ET. From there, ESPN and the ESPN app will take over from 3:00 p.m. on. All broadcast coverage from 1-7:30 p.m. ET will also be available on the Masters app and Masters.com.

But you can watch golf way before that window.

CBS Sports Digital, DirecTV, the ESPN app, Paramount Plus, Prime Video, Masters.com, and the Masters app all offer three streams: Featured Groups (9:15 a.m.-7:30 p.m. ET), Amen Corner (10:45 a.m.-6 p.m. ET), and Holes 15 and 16 (11:45 a.m.-7 p.m. ET). Plus, on the ESPN app, Masters.com, and the Masters app, you can watch holes 4, 5, and 6 from 8:45 a.m.-3:30 p.m. ET.

It sounds like a lot, but man, it flies by.

Friday

For the second round, all coverage times are the same as Thursday—minus the Honorary Starters Ceremony. So, dig in for another long (and enjoyable) day.

Saturday and Sunday

Over the weekend, the coverage is the same for both days. Let’s run through it. (All previously stated sources remain the same for these channels.)

Broadcast Coverage

Paramount+, Masters.com, and the Masters app: 12-7 p.m. ET

CBS: 2-7 p.m. ET

Streaming Coverage

MOTR: 10 a.m.-12 p.m. ET

Featured Groups: 10:15 a.m.-7 p.m. ET

Holes 4, 5, and 6: 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

Amen Corner: 11:45 a.m.-6 p.m. ET

Holes 15 and 16: 12:30-6:30 p.m. ET

But on Sunday, don’t forget about the Green Jacket Presentation Ceremony at 7 p.m. ET on Masters.com and the Masters app.

And there you have it. A perfect outline/guide for the Masters. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
