As the 2024 edition of The Masters approaches, fans around the globe are gearing up to watch their favourite golfers compete for the coveted green jacket.
It’s the first time we’ve seen all of the top men’s players competing against each other, as rivals from the PGA and LIV tours unite.
Whether you’re a seasoned golf enthusiast or a casual viewer, here’s how you can catch all for days of The Masters 2024 live, wherever you are.
When is The Masters 2024?
The main tournament takes place between Thursday 11 April and Sunday 14 April. All the players who make the cut will play on all four days, completing 72 holes in the process.
The full list of tee times is not yet announced, but will be available before the tournament begins.
How to watch The Masters 2024 in the UK
Sky Sports has the exclusive live rights to The Masters 2024 in the UK, and will be broadcasting all four days as they happen.
You have several options when it comes to Sky Sports. The first is to get a TV package, which starts at £46 per month (£26 per month Entertainment plan, £20 for Sky Sports add-on) for 18 months.
If you don’t mind paying a monthly subscription for your TV, Sky Glass is also worth considering. You can currently get a 43-inch TV (48-month contract) with Sky Sports, Sky Entertainment and Netflix (Standard with Ads) on an 18-month contract for £62 per month with £10 upfront.
Alternatively, you can add the functionality to your existing TV via Sky Stream. It starts at £43 per month for an 18-month plan including Sky Entertainment, Netflix and Sky Sports.
All of the above include access on your phone, tablet and/or laptop via Sky Go.
That doesn’t apply to Sky’s Now streaming service, but it’s a more affordable option. A Now Sports membership (including all 11 Sky Sports channels) costs £34.99 per month at full price, but currently costs £26.99 per month for six months.
That includes a month of Now Boost, which adds 1080p video (rather than the usual 720p), removes ads and lets you stream on up to three devices at the same time (instead of the usual one). After a one-month free trial, it costs £6 per month extra.
How to watch The Masters 2024 in the US
In the US, ESPN and CBS have shared rights to The Masters in the US. ESPN will show the first and second rounds, with 4.5 hours of coverage each day. CBS will then show the final two rounds over the weekend.
If you don’t want to get a cable subscription, there are alternatives available. An ESPN+ subscription will allow you to watch the first two days live.
Paying $10.99 for a month’s access makes most sense, but $109.99 gets you the channel for a full year. ESPN+ is also the place to watch many American football, hockey, golf and basketball matches, plus several top European football (soccer) leagues.
You can sign up now via the ESPN website.
For CBS, the best alternative to a cable subscription is Paramount+. Simply sign up to the Paramount+ streaming service (from $5.99 per month) and you’ll have full access on all your devices.
How to watch The Masters 2024 outside the UK and US
Before trying to watch UK or US TV from abroad, it’s worth checking which broadcaster has the rights to The Masters where you’re. That’ll be easier than signing up and using a VPN.
But if you’re just visiting another country, it makes sense to access your UK or US subscription, which requires a VPN. We’re using NordVPN for the purposes of this tutorial, but there are plenty of great alternatives in our best VPN chart.

Open the app and sign in to your account if necessary. Then, select any US or UK server and connect to it.
Depending on the service you’re using, it might look quite different to the above. But this should be relatively easy to find.
