[[CBS Sports|CBS]] has televised the Masters in the United States every year since 1956,<ref name="nyt-keepthingssimple">{{cite news |last=Sandomir |first=Richard |title=CBS and the Masters Keep Business Simple |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1998/04/07/sports/tv-sports-cbs-and-the-masters-keep-business-simple.html |newspaper=The New York Times |date=April 7, 1998 |access-date=April 8, 2017 |archive-date=April 9, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170409200147/http://www.nytimes.com/1998/04/07/sports/tv-sports-cbs-and-the-masters-keep-business-simple.html |url-status=live}}</ref> when it used six cameras and covered only the final four holes. Tournament coverage of the first eight holes did not begin until 1993 because of resistance from the tournament organizers, but by 2006, more than 50 cameras were used. Chairman Jack Stephens felt that the back nine was always more "compelling", increased coverage would increase the need for sponsorship spending, and that broadcasting the front nine of the course on television would cut down on attendance and television viewership for the tournament.<ref name="nyt-keepthingssimple"/><ref>{{cite news |title=Augusta's front nine cloaked in secrecy |newspaper=Ocala Star-Banner |agency=Associated Press |date=April 10, 1997 |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1356&dat=19970410&id=k-c0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=wg4EAAAAIBAJ&pg=4285,4797787 |access-date=April 6, 2013 |first=Denne H. |last=Freeman |archive-date=February 26, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170226135152/https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1356&dat=19970410&id=k-c0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=wg4EAAAAIBAJ&pg=4285,4797787 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/04/masters-tv-what-time-coverage-espn-cbs/ |title=Why isn't the Masters on TV all day? |first=Chris |last=Chase |newspaper=USA Today |date=April 10, 2014 |access-date=April 10, 2014 |archive-date=April 13, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413055523/http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/04/masters-tv-what-time-coverage-espn-cbs/ |url-status=live}}</ref> [[USA Network]] added first- and second-round coverage in 1982.<ref name="nyt-espnreplacesusa">{{cite news |title=ESPN Replaces USA as Early-Round Home of the Masters |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/11/sports/golf/11sandomir.html |newspaper=The New York Times |last=Sandomir |first=Richard |date=October 11, 2007 |access-date=April 8, 2017 |archive-date=April 9, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170409112448/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/11/sports/golf/11sandomir.html |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2008, [[ESPN]] replaced USA as broadcaster of early-round coverage.

In 2005, CBS broadcast the tournament with high-definition fixed and handheld wired cameras, as well as standard-definition wireless handheld cameras. In 2006, a webstream called "Amen Corner Live" began providing coverage of all players passing through holes 11, 12, and 13 through all four rounds.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/story/9347190/ |title=Get ready for Amen Corner live |access-date=December 23, 2008 |date=March 30, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121013005444/http://www.pgatour.com/story/9347190/ |archive-date=October 13, 2012}}</ref> This was the first full tournament multi-hole webcast from a major championship. In 2007, CBS added "Masters Extra," an extra hour of full-field bonus coverage daily on the internet, preceding the television broadcasts. In 2008, CBS added full coverage of holes 15 and 16 live on the web. In 2011, "Masters Extra" was dropped after officials gave ESPN an extra hour each day on Thursday and Friday.

While Augusta National Golf Club has consistently chosen CBS as its U.S. broadcast partner, it has done so in successive one-year contracts.<ref name="new-yorker-june-19">{{cite magazine |last=Paumgarten |first=Nick |title=Inside the Cultish Dreamworld of Augusta National |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/06/24/inside-the-cultish-dreamworld-of-augusta-national |magazine=[[The New Yorker]] |access-date=June 16, 2019 |date=June 14, 2019 |archive-date=June 15, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190615234010/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/06/24/inside-the-cultish-dreamworld-of-augusta-national |url-status=live}}</ref> Former CBS Sports president [[Neal Pilson]] stated that their relationship had gotten to the point where the contracts could be negotiated in just hours.<ref name="nyt-keepthingssimple"/> Due to the lack of long-term contractual security, as well as the club's limited dependence on broadcast rights fees (owing to its affluent membership), it is widely held that CBS allows Augusta National greater control over the content of the broadcast, or at least performs some form of [[self-censorship]], in order to maintain future rights. The club, however, has insisted it does not make any demands with respect to the content of the broadcast.<ref name="polite">"{{cite news |url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/tv--radio/why-coverage-of-us-masters-is-so-polite/2007/04/04/1175366249870.html |title=Why coverage of US Masters is so polite |last=Hinds |first=Richard |newspaper=[[The Age]] |date=April 5, 2007 |access-date=January 21, 2008 |location=Melbourne |archive-date=November 3, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071103113919/http://www.theage.com.au/news/tv--radio/why-coverage-of-us-masters-is-so-polite/2007/04/04/1175366249870.html |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="burk">{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/martzke/2003-04-13-martzke_x.htm |title=CBS managed to get Masters right despite silence on protests |last=Martzke |first=Rudy |newspaper=[[USA Today]] |date=April 13, 2003 |access-date=January 21, 2008 |archive-date=February 8, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080208105424/http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/martzke/2003-04-13-martzke_x.htm |url-status=live}}</ref> Despite this, announcers who have been deemed not to have acted with the decorum expected by the club have been removed, notably [[Jack Whitaker]] and [[Gary McCord]],<ref name="polite"/> and there also tends to be a lack of discussion of any controversy involving Augusta National, such as the 2003 Martha Burk protests.<ref name="burk"/>

The club mandates minimal commercial interruption, currently limited to four minutes per hour (as opposed to the usual 12 or more); this is subsidized by selling exclusive sponsorship packages to three or four companies – as of 2025, these "Champion Partners" are [[AT&T]], [[Bank of America]], [[IBM]], and [[Mercedes-Benz]].<ref name="prest"/> AT&T (then SBC) and IBM have sponsored the tournament since 2005, joined at first by [[ExxonMobil]], which in 2014 was replaced as a global sponsor by Mercedes-Benz,<ref name="2014 sponsors">{{cite press release |url=http://www.masters.com/mobile/hi/news/articles/2013-04-29/201304291367269793460.html |title=Mercedes, UPS Form New Partnerships with Masters Tournament |publisher=Augusta National Golf Club |date=April 29, 2013 |access-date=May 18, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140312213403/http://www.masters.com/mobile/hi/news/articles/2013-04-29/201304291367269793460.html |archive-date=March 12, 2014}}</ref> and joined by Bank of America in 2025.<ref name="2025 sponsors">{{cite press release |url=https://newsroom.bankofamerica.com/content/newsroom/press-releases/2024/09/the-masters-tournament-welcomes-bank-of-america-as-champion-part.html |title=The Masters Tournament Welcomes Bank of America as Champion Partner |publisher=Bank of America |date=September 17, 2024 |access-date=April 13, 2025}}</ref> In 2002, in the wake of calls to boycott tournament sponsors over the Martha Burk controversy, club chairman [[Hootie Johnson]] suspended all television sponsorship of the 2003 tournament.

CBS agreed to split production costs for the tournament with the club to make up for the lack of sponsorship. After the arrangement continued into 2004, the tournament reinstated sponsorships for 2005, with the new partners of ExxonMobil, IBM, and SBC.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-aug-28-sp-masters28-story.html |title=Masters Is Back to Commercials |last=Stewart |first=Larry |date=August 28, 2004 |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |access-date=April 8, 2018 |issn=0458-3035 |archive-date=April 13, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160413115252/http://articles.latimes.com/2004/aug/28/sports/sp-masters28 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.si.com/vault/2003/04/08/8104128/the-battle-of-augusta-hootie-vs-martha-a-chronology-of-developments-in-golfs-most-famous-feud-between-martha-burk-the-chairwoman-of-the-national-council-of-womens-organizations-ncwo-and-hootie-johnson-the-chairman-of-augusta-na |title=The Battle of Augusta Hootie vs. Martha: A Chronology of Developments in Golf's Most Famous Feud, Between Martha Burk, the Chairwoman of the National Council Of Women's Organizations (NCWO), and Hootie Johnson, the Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club |last=Yen |first=Yi-Wyn |magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=April 8, 2003 |access-date=April 8, 2018 |archive-date=April 9, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180409043254/https://www.si.com/vault/2003/04/08/8104128/the-battle-of-augusta-hootie-vs-martha-a-chronology-of-developments-in-golfs-most-famous-feud-between-martha-burk-the-chairwoman-of-the-national-council-of-womens-organizations-ncwo-and-hootie-johnson-the-chairman-of-augusta-na |url-status=live}}</ref>

===Radio coverage===
[[Westwood One]] (previously [[Dial Global]] and [[CBS Radio Network|CBS Radio]]) has provided live radio play-by-play coverage in the United States since 1956. This coverage can also be heard on the official Masters website. The network provides short two- or three-minute updates throughout the tournament, as well as longer three- and four-hour segments towards the end of the day.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.westwoodone.com/PROGRAMMING/Sports/Golf/The-Masters |title=The Masters |access-date=February 9, 2016 |archive-date=October 26, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201026100958/https://www.westwoodone.com/programming/sports/golf/the-masters/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

===International television===
The first UK live coverage of the event was in 1984 when [[Channel 4]] aired coverage of the closing moments of the 3rd and 4th rounds. Channel 4 repeated this level of coverage in 1985. The rights then transferred to the BBC which also initially only provided coverage of the 3rd and 4th rounds. With the 2007 launch of [[BBC HD]], UK viewers were able to watch the championship in that format. [[BBC Sport]] held the exclusive TV and radio rights through to 2010.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/golf/7041714.stm |title=BBC Sport keeps Masters contract |work=[[BBC Sport]] |access-date=January 31, 2008 |date=October 12, 2007 |archive-date=October 24, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071024233106/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/golf/7041714.stm |url-status=live}}</ref> The BBC's coverage airs without commercials because it is financed by a [[licence fee]]. From the 2011 Masters, [[Sky Sports]] began broadcasting all four days, as well as the par 3 contest in HD and, for the first time, in 3D. The BBC continued to air live coverage of the weekend rounds in parallel with Sky until 2019, when it was announced that Sky will hold exclusive rights to live coverage of all four rounds beginning 2020. The BBC will only hold rights to delayed highlights. With its loss of live rights to the Open Championship to Sky in 2016, it marks the first time since 1955 that the BBC no longer holds any rights to live professional golf.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/broadcasting/sky-sports-shuts-bbc-out-of-live-golf-with-masters-deal/5144895.article |title=Sky Sports shuts BBC out of live golf with Masters deal |last=Dams |first=Tim |website=Broadcast |language=en |access-date=November 25, 2019 |archive-date=August 3, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803191759/https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/broadcasting/sky-sports-shuts-bbc-out-of-live-golf-with-masters-deal/5144895.article |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://insidersport.com/2019/11/20/sky-sports-lands-exclusive-live-uk-masters-rights-from-2020/ |title=Sky Sports lands exclusive live UK Masters rights from 2020 |last=Streeter |first=Joe |date=November 20, 2019 |website=Insider Sport |language=en-US |access-date=November 23, 2019 |archive-date=November 23, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191123004502/https://insidersport.com/2019/11/20/sky-sports-lands-exclusive-live-uk-masters-rights-from-2020/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/golf/sky-seizes-share-of-the-masters-from-bbc-2085608.html |location=London |newspaper=The Independent |first=James |last=Corrigan |title=Sky seizes share of the Masters from BBC |date=September 22, 2010 |access-date=September 4, 2017 |archive-date=May 21, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170521124757/http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/golf/sky-seizes-share-of-the-masters-from-bbc-2085608.html |url-status=live}}</ref> although the Corporation continues to provide live radio commentary on [[BBC Radio 5 Live]].

In [[Canada]], broadcast rights to the Masters are held by [[Bell Media]], with coverage divided between [[The Sports Network|TSN]] (cable), which carries live simulcasts and primetime encores of CBS and ESPN coverage for all four rounds, [[CTV Television|CTV]] (broadcast), which simulcasts CBS's coverage of the weekend rounds, and [[Réseau des sports|RDS]], which carries French-language coverage. Prior to 2013, Canadian broadcast rights were held by a marketing company, Graham Sanborn Media,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://sports.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080410.wspttruth10/GSStory/GlobeSportsGolf/home |title=As usual, Woods is the star of Masters coverage |first=William |last=Houston |newspaper=[[The Globe and Mail]] |date=April 10, 2008 |access-date=April 10, 2009 |location=Toronto |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090414182215/http://sports.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080410.wspttruth10/GSStory/GlobeSportsGolf/home |archive-date=April 14, 2009}}</ref> which in turn bought time on the [[Global Television Network]], TSN, and RDS (except for 2012 when French-language coverage aired on [[TVA (Canada)|TVA]] and [[TVA Sports]]) to air the broadcasts, also selling all of the advertising for the Canadian broadcasts. This was an unusual arrangement in Canadian sports broadcasting, as in most cases broadcasters acquire their rights directly from the event organizers or through partnerships with international rightsholders, such as [[ESPN International]] (ESPN owns a minority stake in TSN). In 2013, Global and TSN began selling advertising directly, and co-produced supplemental programs covering the tournament (while still carrying U.S. coverage for the tournament itself).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mediaincanada.com/2013/04/10/tsn-and-global-partner-to-sell-the-masters/ |title=TSN and Global partner to sell The Masters |work=Media in Canada |first=Val |last=Maloney |date=April 10, 2013 |access-date=April 10, 2013 |archive-date=June 7, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130607090421/http://mediaincanada.com/2013/04/10/tsn-and-global-partner-to-sell-the-masters/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://bellmediapr.ca/tsn/releases/release.asp?id=16323&yyyy=2013 |title=TSN and Global Partner to Give Canadians Complete Coverage of The Masters |author=[[The Sports Network]] and [[Global Television Network]] |date=April 5, 2013 |access-date=April 10, 2013 |archive-date=April 8, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130408012203/http://bellmediapr.ca/tsn/releases/release.asp?id=16323&yyyy=2013 |url-status=live}}</ref>

On December 15, 2015, TSN parent company Bell Media announced that it had acquired exclusive Canadian rights to the tournament beginning 2016 under a multi-year deal.
