What Does Prime Video Show vs ESPN and CBS?
Prime Video only covers the Thursday and Friday early window. For the full Masters, you also need ESPN and CBS.
| Platform | Rounds | Time (ET) |
|---|---|---|
| Prime Video | Round 1 & 2 early | 1:00–3:00 PM |
| ESPN | Round 1 & 2 main | 3:00–7:30 PM |
| CBS | Round 3 & 4 | 2:00–7:00 PM |
Think of Prime Video as the warm-up act. It starts two hours before ESPN picks up each day. The main ESPN and CBS broadcasts carry the full competitive action for each round. Prime Video gives you the first two hours of live play on Thursday and Friday.
Is Amazon Prime Video Worth It for the Masters?
For new members, yes. The 30-day free trial covers the entire Masters tournament at no cost. You get the exclusive early window on Thursday and Friday, plus Featured Groups and Amen Corner live feeds on both days.
Beyond the Masters, the trial also gives you access to Prime Video’s full library, free two-day shipping on Amazon orders, Prime Music, and Prime Gaming. That makes the trial useful well beyond tournament week.
For existing Prime members, the Masters coverage costs nothing extra. Prime Video is already included with your membership.
