How To Watch The Masters Live Today As Final Round Heats Up...
The 2026 Masters Tournament reaches its dramatic conclusion today, with live coverage beginning at 10:00 AM ET on CBS and streaming via ESPN+ and Paramount+. Golf fans across the U.S. are searching for viewing options as the final round at Augusta National promises a tight leaderboard and potential historic finishes.
This year's tournament has drawn exceptional interest after third-round leader Jordan Spieth carded a 65 on Saturday, putting him two strokes ahead of rising star Lucy Li. Tiger Woods also remains in contention at 3-under par, fueling speculation about a potential sixth green jacket.
CBS will broadcast the main network coverage from 2:00-7:00 PM ET, with early round action available through Masters.com's featured group coverage and ESPN+'s exclusive streaming. Paramount+ subscribers can access live feeds through the CBS Sports app with their TV provider login.
The Masters app provides free live scoring and select amen corner camera views, while DIRECTV subscribers can access the tournament's four-channel Masters Mix. Augusta National's strict broadcasting rules mean no commercial interruptions during coverage.
Viewership is expected to break records today as multiple compelling storylines converge. Sports bars nationwide are reporting increased reservations for Masters watch parties, particularly in golf-heavy markets like Florida, Texas, and California.
Weather conditions at Augusta National appear favorable for scoring, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-70s. Tournament officials moved tee times earlier due to potential afternoon thunderstorms in the forecast.
For cord-cutters, FuboTV and YouTube TV both carry CBS in most markets and offer free trials. The Masters remains one of the few major sporting events where the official website provides extensive free streaming options without requiring authentication.
Today's final round marks the first time since 2015 that three former champions (Spieth, Woods, and Dustin Johnson) enter Sunday within five strokes of the lead. The tournament committee placed them in consecutive pairings to maximize drama for television audiences.
Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley confirmed the club will maintain its traditional no-cell-phone policy for patrons, making broadcast and digital viewing the only ways for most fans to follow the action in real time. The Masters remains the most-watched golf event annually, with last year's final round drawing 12.6 million viewers.
