How to Watch the 2026 Masters for Free

Can Rory McIlroy snag his second-straight green jacket? The Masters is here and the world’s top golfers are ready to throw down to capture sports immortality. Only 3 men have ever won back-to-back green jackets, so McIlroy is up against history.

The Masters runs April 8-12 with the preliminary rounds on ESPN and Rounds 3-4 on CBS Saturday and Sunday.

If you’re looking to watch the tournament for free, you can get free trials with Hulu + Live TV, DIRECTV, YouTube TV, Fubo, and Paramount+.

Just fire up 3 free days with Hulu + Live TV Wednesday-Friday, then start a free trial of Paramount+ to see the final 2 days.

If you’d like to watch CBS free forever, I recommend adding an antenna to your cord-cutting setup. Having an antenna gives you flexibility with your viewing options, and it comes in very handy when a live TV service faces a carriage dispute with a media company.
