For avid golf enthusiasts who crave more from the Masters, Augusta National is delivering an expanded viewing experience this year. A groundbreaking agreement with Prime Video will introduce a statistics-driven broadcast dedicated to Amen Corner, enhancing the tournament's coverage for the 2026 event scheduled from April 9 to 12.
Enhanced Broadcast Schedule and Digital Platforms
The Masters unveiled its broadcast schedule on Thursday, maintaining its comprehensive digital offerings. Prime Video and ESPN will provide live coverage during the opening two rounds, while CBS takes over for the weekend, supplemented by a two-hour lead-in on Paramount+. This marks CBS's 70th year broadcasting the Masters and ESPN's 18th year covering the weekday rounds.
New Prime Video Partnership and Exclusive Content
Announced in September, the new deal with Prime Video includes a two-hour stream from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET on Thursday and Friday, leading into ESPN's coverage. ESPN has also added "Welcome to the Masters," a two-hour pregame show airing from 10 a.m. to noon before the first two rounds.
This collaboration has already produced a documentary titled "Rory McIlroy: The Masters Wait," premiering on March 30, which chronicles McIlroy's historic win last year that completed his career Grand Slam.
Inside Amen Corner: A Stats-Enhanced Experience
Exclusively on Prime Video, "Inside Amen Corner" will be available from 10:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and from 11:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the final two rounds. This dedicated feed will offer an in-depth, statistics-enhanced view of three iconic holes on Augusta National's back nine:
- The par-4 11th hole
- The par-3 12th hole over Rae's Creek
- The par-5 13th hole
Prime Video is set to announce further details about this feature next week.
Additional Programming and Digital Innovations
NBC will air a mini-documentary on Sunday, April 5, called "Photographer No. 24," highlighting Hall of Fame center fielder Ken Griffey Jr.'s role as an official photographer at last year's Masters.
The Masters' digital platforms will continue to provide live coverage of featured groups, Holes 4 through 6, Amen Corner, Holes 15 and 16, and On The Range. "Range Tracker" returns for its second year, offering live and recorded data for every shot on the practice range. A new addition for 2026 is "Masters Vault Search," allowing fans to access specific tournament clips from over 50 years of Sunday broadcasts.
