Sunday marks the final round of the 89th Masters Tournament, and Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy is chasing both a green jacket and a career Grand Slam.
But Rory now has to face Justin Rose in a playoff to determine the winner.
Live coverage and full replays air on CBS and stream via services like Paramount+ (offering four hours of live coverage).
But before you pay for a subscription, here’s a tip: you can watch the Masters final round for free (or should we say, fore free?).
How to watch The Masters for free
Note: Free coverage on Masters.com only works with a U.S.-based IP. If you're abroad, use a VPN to access the final round stream.
We recommend NordVPN to unblock Masters.com free stream — it’s fast, secure, reliable and relatively cheap.
How to unblock Masters.com with a VPN
A good VPN will let you set your IP address to (almost) any country, so you can tune into any streaming service around the world. It's ideal if you're abroad.
There's a ton of VPNs around, but many are not particularly good or reliable. That's why we love NordVPN – it's secure and works with free streams including the Masters.com website/app.
✅ Using a VPN to watch the Masters final round is simple.
1. Sign up and install NordVPN (3 months free + 30 day trial)
2. Connect to a U.S. server — open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select a U.S.-based server.
3. Go to Masters.com and watch the free live stream!
As you can see below, we're watching it live right now and it works beautifully. Masters.com will also provide a full replay and highlights of Sunday's showdown.
Where to watch the Masters in 4K for free
If you care about quality over cost, DirecTV Stream will offer a 4K UHD feed from Amen Corner (holes 11, 12 and 13) and holes 15 and 16. Plus a full replay of the final round.
The 4K Masters stream will be available on DirecTV channel 105 while holes 15 and 16 will be on channel 106 throughout Sunday.
DirecTV Stream costs from $65 per month but new users get a 5-day free trial, which is more than enough to watch the Masters final round for free and in 4K.
Can I watch the Masters replay free without cable?
Yes – if you consider using a free trial. Plenty of live TV services including Fubo, DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV carry CBS, meaning you can watch the final round drama – the McIlroy vs Rose playoff – without any 'green fees', so to speak.
Fubo, for example, costs from $55 per month and comes with a 7-day free trial, more that sufficient to watch the Masters replay as McIlroy attempts to win his first Green Jacket.
How to listen to the Masters for free
For those on move, SiriusXM will offer radio coverage to golf fans in the US. SiriusXM is not free per se, but some vehicles may have the ad-supported Free Access plan.
You can listen to live audio on BBC 5 Live (U.K. only). Again, you can use a VPN to access your usual free stream when outside Great Britain.

Has Rory McIlroy won the Masters?
Yes. Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy kicked things off in the 2025 Masters Tournament by shooting an even-par 72 on Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club, Georgia and led the Masters (-12) on Sunday. After notching up 17 Masters starts in his career, McIlroy wrapped up the win on the first hole of the playoff against his longtime friend Justin Rose with a birdie putt.
A galant Rose told reporters: "I wanted to be the bad guy today... but still, this is an historic moment in golf."
