- The Masters 2026: Thursday, April 9 to Sunday, April 12 – 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST / 11pm AEDT
- FREE stream – The Masters website (US)
- Use NordVPN to watch from anywhere
The Masters 2026 live streams will feature golf's first major of the season from the pristine green of Augusta National, azaleas in bloom and and in Amen Corner, the biggest challenge in the game. Rory McIlroy is back to defend his title, with Scottie Scheffler also likely to contest for the famous Green Jacket in the 91-strong field.
Two-time champion Scheffler, the world number one, will likely start as favorite, despite a slow start to the 2026 season, and he goes out with Robert MacIntyre. Scheffler's big-hitting fellow American Bryson DeChambeau will also be expected to go well and it will be interesting to see how he fares after starting to manufacture his own clubs.
European Ryder Cup teammates Jon Rahm, the 2023 winner, and Ludvig Aberg will be in the same group, and among the expected winners. And can Justin Rose, after play-off heartbreak last year against McIlroy, finally win the Green Jacket his play around Augusta so richly deserves?
