Thursday Masters coverage: How to watch first round on TV, streaming

The 90th Masters Tournament has officially arrived.
It’s Thursday, and the first round of the first major on the PGA Tour. And 91 players will give it their shot to finish the week putting on a green jacket in Butler Cabin at Augusta National Golf Club.
With excellent weather forecast for the entire tournament, there shouldn’t be any reason to not see excellent golf on one of the game’s most interesting courses. Two-shot swings and eagles can be frequent when players are at their best.
While those lucky enough to get a tournament badge will be watching in person, millions more get to see the action on television and through streaming. Here’s how you can watch the 2026 Masters Tournament.
How to watch the 2026 Masters first round on TV, streaming
For live tournament action, you can camp out for an entire afternoon between lunch and dinner.
From 1-3 p.m., play will be streaming on Prime Video. At 3, the action switches to ESPN and lasts until approximately 7:30 p.m. (link to Fubo free trial here).
For those that want even more action, CBS Sports Network will present Masters on the Range for two hours and, prior to the live coverage window, ESPN will air “Welcome to the Masters” from 10 a.m. to noon.
If you’re at work and prefer to stream, Masters.com and the Masters app have live feeds on a host of channels and locations at the course. That includes a channel at the range ahead of all tee times, then on-course feeds from holes 4, 5 and 6; Amen Corner; and holes 15 and 16. There will also be a channel dedicated to two “featured groups” in the morning and afternoon waves.
