The 89th Masters Tournament tees off today, April 10, at Augusta National Golf Club. The biggest names in golf are gathering on the green to compete for the iconic green jacket, including last year's champ Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, John Rahm, and Xander Schauffele.

The year's first major championship is now underway — and fortunately, golf fans have plenty of ways to watch the action unfold live. And with 95 players in the field, the largest in a decade, there's sure to be plenty of highlights. And thanks to The Masters App — the best sports app in the world, bar none — you can watch every single swing. Unlike some sports broadcasts (we're looking at you, NFL), it's actually very easy to watch the Masters 2025 online for free.

Here's everything you need to know to tune in live.

When is the Masters 2025 Tournament?

The first round of the tournament began around 7:25 a.m. ET on Thursday, April 10. Honorary starters Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Tom Watson — who have 11 Masters titles between them — teed off on Tea Olive, the first hole at Augusta National. The golf tournament will then run through Sunday, April 13. Check out the full Masters schedule in the FAQ below.

How to watch the Masters

If you have cable:

The Masters will air across two channels from Thursday through Sunday: ESPN and CBS. The first two rounds will air on ESPN beginning at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday and Friday, while the final two rounds will air on CBS beginning at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday and Sunday. The Golf Channel will also air coverage of the tournament live each day.

If you don't have cable:

No cable? No problem. It's the age of streaming, after all. You'll be able to stream the first two rounds of the Masters on ESPN+ and the final two rounds on Paramount+ with Showtime, which includes access to your local CBS channel live. You can also follow your favorite golfers on the Masters app, or simply visit Masters.com to watch each round online for free. If you're watching on the go or on your computer, the Masters app and website are definitely your best bet.

Another option is to sign up for a live TV streaming service, such as YouTube TV or Fubo, which includes both CBS and ESPN in the channel lineup. Both services offer free trials to newbies.

Can I watch the Masters for free?

Yes! Each round of the Masters will stream live on Masters.com and on the Masters app for viewers in the United States. Of course, this limits you to using a mobile device or a computer (or screen mirroring the feed to your TV). But it's completely free, so it's easy to look past that. Honestly, we couldn't recommend it enough. As Mashable's associate culture editor Tim Marcin writes, it's pretty incredible that "a four-day golf tournament has created the best app in sports."

Another option to watch for free is to sign up for a Paramount+ with Showtime subscription, which gives newbies a free one-week trial. This will give you live access to your local CBS network for the final two rounds of the Masters. Unfortunately, ESPN+ does not offer a free trial for the first two rounds, but live TV streaming services like YouTube TV and Fubo offer access to ESPN and free trials to their services. We recommend Youtube TV for its free 21-day trial period and comprehensive coverage of the Masters and more.
