The 2020 Masters has arrived. Golf fans can rejoice now that Augusta National is back on their TV screens. The action begins with the opening round on Thursday, Nov. 12. Here’s everything you need to know about watching the event on TV.
What channel is the Masters on?
Traditional golf fans looking to tune into the 2020 Masters on their TVs will need to keep two networks in mind: CBS and ESPN.
ESPN will have TV coverage of the first two rounds, with four and half hours of coverage of Thursday’s opening round. ESPN will carry another four and a half hours on Friday. Then on the weekend, CBS will take the reins for their 65th Masters broadcast. Jim Nantz, Nick Faldo and all the other familiar faces from CBS’ broadcast will be there once again to cover the third and final rounds, with five hours of airtime each day.
