Starting January 2026, Magenta TV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Majors remain with Sky.
Golf fans in Germany will soon have a new home for live coverage. From January 2026, Telekom’s Magenta TV will take over broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in its first year. Additionally, Magenta TV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky will retain the rights to all men’s and women’s Major Championships.
300 Days of Live Golf on Magenta TV
The new rights package includes approximately 300 days of live golf annually, spread across two new dedicated channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2. These channels will launch in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will broadcast tournaments in full, while MS Golf 2 will offer additional content such as player features, current stories, and historical highlights. On-demand content will also be available. The first broadcasts will begin on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The programming will be included at no extra cost for all MagentaTV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has a new home at MagentaTV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive golf live coverage ever,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV. “From the first tee shots to the final putts, we’ll show every tournament like never before—live, informative, and modern. This package is designed for seasoned golf fans and newcomers alike.”
Sky Retains the Majors
Sky hasn’t lost all rights, however. It will continue to broadcast all men’s and women’s Majors, including the Solheim Cup, in the coming years. These events, alongside the Ryder Cup, remain among the most prestigious in the sport. As a result, fans looking to follow both weekly tour events and the biggest tournaments will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
