Got 136 hours to spare?
If you're a golf fan and wait for Masters week like a kid at Christmas, that's how much time you could invest from April 9-12 in live TV and streaming coverage of competition in the 90th Masters Tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga.
It's part of an overall package of live and streaming coverage of the Masters that involves, for the first time, Prime Video April 9-10. The Prime coverage, from 1-3 p.m. each day, will lead into ESPN's coverage of the first two rounds, while Paramount+ will provide weekend streaming coverage from 12-2 p.m. that leads into the CBS coverage.
There will also be live streaming coverage of action on three areas of the golf course, Nos. 4-6, Nos. 11-13 (Amen Corner) and Nos. 15-16, plus feature groups.
The live coverage on ESPN and CBS (counting two hours of the Par 3 Contest on ESPN April 8) totals 28 hours. The streaming coverage of hole Nos. 4-6, 11-13 and 15-16, plus feature groups, adds another 108 hours.
The amount of coverage available to viewers is a departure from a piece of Masters history, in which late Augusta National Golf Club chairman Clifford Roberts believed less was more and allowed TV cameras only on the second nine. It was 2000 before first-nine coverage was allowed.
"The Masters lives 365 [days]," lead CBS analyst Jim Nantz said on a March 30 teleconference. "People talk about it all year long. It's an amazing undertaking with what we're doing with all of these sources. I don't know where it goes next but I'm blown away by the amount of venues we have to present the Masters."
Nantz will be working his 41st Masters, which began in 1986 when he was the 16th hole reporter when Jack Nicklaus won his record sixth green jacket. He will be joined by Trevor Immelman, with Dottie Pepper, Frank Nobilo, Andrew Catalon, Colt Knost and Amanda Balonis as on-course reporters.
For fans who really want to immerse themselves:
There will be no shortage of analysis pre- and post-round. Golf Channel's "Live From the Masters" will begin on April 7 from 2-5 p.m. and will air for a total of 52 hours. ESPN's "SportsCenter at the Masters" will be on April 8-10 for a total of 8 hours, 30 minutes and "Mornings at the Masters," returns April 8-12 on Masters YouTube.
In addition to live coverage, Masters digital platforms will offer scoring, interactive player tracking, video highlights and features and in-depth tournament news.
Masters.com and the Masters App will continue to offer "Every Shot, Every Hole," along with "My Group," which serves as a personalized featured group for all 20,000+ videos.
New for 2026, "Masters Vault Search" enables fans to explore and watch tournament clips spanning more than 50 years of Masters final round broadcasts through simple, conversation-style prompts. Additionally, player pages now feature Every Shot, Every Hole historical video dating back to 2019.
