The Masters 2026: TV coverage, Augusta National schedule, Featured Groups, Amen Corner stream and how to watch or stream on Sky Sports

The men's major season has arrived, with more coverage of The Masters than ever before from Augusta National live on Sky Sports.

Rory McIlroy has made a remarkable start to the defence of his title, establishing a record lead at the halfway stage as he seeks to become the first back-to-back winner since Tiger Woods.

Should McIlroy stutter over the weekend, the leaderboard is stacked with star names behind him, with American duo Sam Burns and Patrick Reed tied for second place six shots back.

There's plenty more European interest, with McIlroy's Ryder Cup team-mates Justin Rose, Shane Lowry and Tommy Fleetwood all on five-under.

Sky Sports continues to be the home of The Masters in the UK and Ireland, with more full action from tournament days than ever before and live coverage from every day that week.

Here's a closer look at the key TV and streaming times and ways to follow all the action…

Live coverage was available on all three practice days, including the traditional Masters Par-3 contest on Wednesday, ahead of wall-to-wall tournament coverage getting under way on Thursday at 2pm.
