How to watch The Masters 2026 Round 3 for free

Two days at Augusta National down, two to go.

Defending champion Rory McIlroy led after day one, and after round two, he still holds a commanding — and historic — lead. Through 36 holes, McIlroy still leads at 12 under par. It marks the largest midway lead in Masters history.

McIlroy currently holds a six shot advantage over Sam Burns and Patrick Reed, who are tied for second at six under par.

Two-time Masters champ and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler survived the cuts that shrunk the field from 91 to 54, but he’s currently 12 shots off the lead.

How to watch The Masters for free

While The Masters will air across the a few different networks and streaming services, you likely won’t need all of them to tune in to as much of The Masters as you’d like.

DIRECTV’s Choice plan ($59.99 for your first month with a five-day free trial) includes access to the ESPN Unlimited app, where featured groups will stream throughout the day. The service will also have its own live streams of select featured holes. Of course, it also includes CBS, where you can stream the TV coverage beginning at 2 p.m. ET.

You can also watch Masters coverage on Paramount+ with the Premium Plan, which costs $13.99/month after a seven-day free trial that you can only take advantage of if you subscribe via Prime Video.
