The 2026 Masters will be played Thursday-Sunday, April 9-12, at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, where the best golfers in the world will battle for the green jacket. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the Masters all week, including the 2026 Masters TV schedule, live streaming options and tee times once they’re released.
How to watch the Masters
The big season is officially here, and the first event on the calendar is widely considered to be golf’s most famous tournament of all time: the Masters.
Players who successfully won the Masters and its green jacket live forever in golf history. They also receive a lifetime exemption from competition and an invitation to the annual Masters Champions Dinner, which defends the title. Rory McIlroy host this year.
About McIlroy. He is still the world number 2, but his game has been slow to start the season. It doesn’t matter. The man who completed a career Grand Slam at the Masters last year enters as the second betting favorite to win.
The top betting favorite is World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler has already won this season, and despite struggling on the course recently, he’s a two-time Masters champion who can win even without his best game.
