Even without a cable subscription, there are several ways to watch the Master online for free

Even though the Masters 2021 is being held seven months later than usual, and there are a variety of different sports competing for viewers attention, there are still several ways for cord-cutters to view the tournament. Masters coverage this year is split between two networks — ESPN will cover Rounds 1 and 2, and CBS has the rights to Rounds 3 and 4. While there are several streaming services to sign up for, not every one offers both networks.

Watching the Masters doesn't have to be pricey, either. While most streaming services charge monthly fees that vary from as little as $5.99 a month to as much as $65 a month, almost all of them offer a free trial. Just remember that if you sign up for the free trial to cancel before the period ends.

Masters.com is also free and allows viewers to see every shot on every hole. Fans can even build their own custom feed to follow only the golfers that they want to watch in 2020.
