Starting January 2026, MagentaTV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Sky retains rights to the Majors.
Golf fans in Germany will see a major shift in TV coverage starting in 2026. After years of exclusive broadcasting by Sky, Telekom has acquired the rights to air PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour events on its MagentaTV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, MagentaTV will broadcast the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky will continue to hold the rights to the men’s and women’s Major Championships.
300 Days of Golf on MagentaTV
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—launching in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will air full tournament coverage, while MS Golf 2 will feature additional content such as player features, current stories, and historical highlights. On-demand content will also be available. The coverage kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The entire offering will be available at no extra cost to MagentaTV subscribers, including MagentaSport users.
“Golf has found a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we’re offering Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first tee to the final putt, we’ll present every tournament like never before—live, informative, and in a modern format. This package is for seasoned golf fans and new, younger viewers alike,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains the Majors
Sky hasn’t lost all its golf broadcasting rights. It will continue to air all Major Championships in the coming years, maintaining coverage of the sport’s most prestigious events alongside the Ryder Cup. Additionally, Sky retains the rights to the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors. To follow all live golf action and major tournaments, fans will need subscriptions to both platforms.
