How to watch the 2025 Masters (with extra weekend coverage!)

Unless you’re planning to walk around Augusta National for the entire week, odds are that you’re going to be watching at least some of the Masters on TV. The beautiful music, Jim Nantz’s captivating voice, the splashes of nature’s best colors: All that and more can be watched and seen on various channels, apps and sites, and because we’re looking out for you, we’ve put it all together on this here page.

The 2025 Masters is upon us, and you don’t have to find an exorbitant Georgia hotel or Airbnb for a front-row seat to the action. The traditional route is through the famed television broadcast scheduled for ESPN (in its 18th year showing first- and second-round action) and CBS (somehow in its 70th straight year airing the closing weekend coverage). But that won’t get you everything even with the five additional hours of live third- and final-round coverage across CBS and Paramount+.

For those hoping to soak in even more coverage, there are several alternatives to watch this year’s tournament, including the revolutionary Masters “Every Shot, Every Hole” technology that allows viewers to see, well, everything. Also returning this year is the use of IBM Watson to provide text and audio AI commentary for all 20,000-plus shots shown during the tournament (this year in English and Spanish).

Masters.com and ESPN+ also offer additional “featured holes” channels: one from the fourth, fifth and sixth holes, one from Amen Corner (11th, 12th and 13th holes) and one for the 15th and 16th holes. Of course, there is a separate channel for spotlight coverage of two featured groups from the morning and afternoon waves each day. And this year, Masters.com wil continue its Video Vault that offers every final-round broadcast from 1968 to 2024 as well as the official Masters film from 2010, original productions and more. Because it’s one of the best weekends in sports, CBS is set to premiere five specials on April 12 and 13, featuring Jordan Spieth’s legendary 2015 win and Bernhard Langer’s storybook career.

Prior to the start of its TV broadcasts on Thursday and Friday, ESPN will once again broadcast a two-hour lead-in program, “Welcome to the Masters.” Plus, we’re set for a brand-new show this year, Mornings at the Masters, starring Hally Leadbetter and Roger Steele. The show will be on the Masters YouTube channel from Wednesday through Sunday from 9 to 9:45 a.m. and will focus on “the lifestyle and cultural elements” of the tournament.

And you don’t have to wait until Thursday’s first round to get a golf fix. The Par-3 Contest is once again set for Wednesday, with coverage on Masters.com and ESPN+ from 12 noon to 4 p.m. and on ESPN from 2-4 p.m.

So, here’s an in-depth guide on how to watch enough Masters content over the next week or so to fill up on for the rest of the year.
