You can use https://chainlist.org/ to add Polygon to your MetaMask automatically and skip steps 1-3 below! Just search "Polygon" and choose "Matic(Polygon) Mainnet".
1. In MetaMask, click the network selection dropdown and select "Custom RPC".
2. On the Settings page that opens, add the following:
Network Name: Polygon Mainnet
New RPC URL: https://rpc-mainnet.maticvigil.com/​
Chain ID: 137

3. You're all set! "Polygon Mainnet" should now be an option in the network selection dropdown! 
Additional tips:
You will need some MATIC to pay network fees, you can use https://matic.supply/ to get started.
You can bridge ETH to the Polygon blockchain using https://wallet.matic.network/bridge/.
After bridging, you can swap your ETH for MATIC on QuickSwap.
Enjoy!
