How to watch The Masters 2026 for FREE

The Sunday of the 2026 Masters could deliver one of the best final rounds in living memory, and yes, you can feel it building even before the first tee shot. We’re talking a star-studded leaderboard with Rory McIlroy, Cam Young, Justin Rose and Scottie Scheffler still in contention.
The action will be shown live on CBS and simulcast via services like Paramount+ ($13.99/month). But don’t rush to pay for anything just yet. Masters.com are streaming the action for free in the US — and that’s the part worth leaning into.
Here’s the catch: free coverage is only available to those with a US IP address. If you’re abroad right now, you’ll need a VPN to access the free stream. Short and simple, kind of. I mean, it’s never really simple, but still.
If you’re away from home and blocked from watching premium golf on your usual subscription, you can still tune in using the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software lets your devices appear as if they’re back in your home country, regardless of where you are in the world. That makes it ideal for viewers on vacation or on business — like when you’re trying to sneak in a watch while your hotel air conditioner hums in the background. Not glamorous, but it works.
Our favorite is NordVPN. It’s the best on the market. Using a VPN is incredibly simple. 1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, NordVPN is our favorite. 2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you’re in Canada and want watch the Masters 2026 for free, you’d select ‘United States’ from the server list. 3. Sit back and enjoy the action.
Then you just head to Masters.com or the Masters app and tune into the 2026 tournament for free. And that’s really it—at least for the “how” part. The hard part might be resisting the urge to check your scorecard every five seconds, especially with McIlroy, Cam Young, Justin Rose, and Scottie Scheffler all still in contention…
