Watch Masters 2026 Live Without Cable

You do not need a cable subscription to watch the full Masters. Here are the best live TV streaming services.

YouTube TV

The standard YouTube TV base plan costs $82.99/month and includes 100+ channels with ESPN and CBS, giving you complete Masters coverage across all four days. Unlimited cloud DVR and up to six users per account are included.

In February 2026, YouTube TV also launched new genre-based plans. The Sports Plan starts at $64.99/month (or $54.99/month for new users for the first year) and includes all major broadcast networks plus all ESPN channels, making it a solid lower-cost option for Masters viewers who mainly want sports.

FuboTV

Fubo is a sports-first live TV service. In late 2025, Disney merged Hulu + Live TV into Fubo, making it the second-largest live TV streaming service in the US. Fubo’s Essential plan starts at $84.99/month, offering 215+ channels including ESPN and CBS. Unlimited cloud DVR and up to 10 simultaneous screens at home are included. New subscribers often receive a first-month discount.

Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV bundles live television with the Hulu on-demand library, Disney+, and ESPN+. The plan with ads costs $89.99/month and includes 95+ live channels including ESPN and CBS. A 3-day free trial is available for new subscribers, enough time to cover the full weekend rounds if timed correctly.

Note: Disney is integrating Hulu into the Disney+ platform during 2026. Hulu + Live TV continues to operate as its own service in the meantime.

DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM delivers a cable-like experience with no physical box or long-term contract. Plans that include both ESPN and CBS start from around $84.99 to $99.99/month depending on the tier. All plans include unlimited cloud DVR and unlimited simultaneous home streams.

Sling TV: Not Recommended for the Masters

Sling TV is budget-friendly but is not suitable for watching the full Masters 2026. While the Orange plan includes ESPN, Sling TV does not carry CBS Live TV on any package. You would miss all of Saturday and Sunday, including the final round and the Green Jacket ceremony.

How to Watch the 2026 Masters from Anywhere

Canada: TSN carries all four rounds live on TV and online via TSN Direct. French-language viewers can watch on RDS. CTV airs the final rounds on Saturday and Sunday.

No local broadcaster? Masters.com streams free in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, UAE, and Yemen. If a service is geo-blocked in your location, a VPN can connect you to a region where the stream is available.

Can I Watch Masters 2026 Live Stream for Free?

Yes. Two legitimate free options exist. First, Masters.com streams featured groups and key holes across all four rounds with no subscription or account required. Second, Amazon Prime Video offers a 30-day free trial for new members, which covers the entire tournament if you sign up before April 9. Hulu + Live TV also offers a 3-day free trial which covers the weekend rounds if timed correctly.

Always avoid unofficial streaming sites. They are unreliable, often illegal, filled with intrusive ads, and can expose your device to security risks.
