Masters 2026 TV Coverage Start Times For Sunday's Final Round

Golf fans across America are searching for Masters coverage start times as the 2026 tournament reaches its dramatic conclusion today at Augusta National. Sunday's final round begins at 10:15 AM ET with featured group coverage, while the main CBS broadcast starts at 2:00 PM ET.

The tournament is trending as leaderboard drama intensifies, with three players tied for the lead entering Sunday. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler trails by just two strokes, while Tiger Woods sits five back after making his record 30th consecutive cut.

ESPN will air early coverage from 10:15 AM to 2:00 PM ET before CBS takes over. Streaming options include Masters.com, the Masters app, Paramount+, and ESPN+. Viewers can follow featured groups starting at 10:20 AM ET or watch Amen Corner coverage beginning at 11:45 AM ET.

Augusta National's weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with highs near 75°F, ideal conditions for low scoring. Tournament officials moved tee times earlier this week due to Saturday thunderstorms, creating today's extended broadcast window.

This marks the first year of CBS's new 10-year Masters broadcasting rights deal. Analyst Trevor Immelman noted the network added more cameras to capture Augusta's iconic back nine drama. Jim Nantz calls his 37th consecutive Masters today before retiring from golf broadcasting next year.

Sports bars nationwide report increased reservations for Sunday brunch service coinciding with early coverage. The PGA Tour app saw record traffic Saturday night as fans checked pairings and projected Sunday finish times.
