Starting January 2026, Magenta TV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Majors remain with Sky.
Golf fans in Germany will see a major shift in TV coverage beginning in 2026. After years of exclusivity with Sky, Telekom has acquired the broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its Magenta TV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, Magenta TV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky retains the rights to all men’s and women’s Major Championships.
300 Days of Golf on Magenta TV
The new rights package includes approximately 300 days of live golf annually, spread across two newly launched channels—MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2—on Magenta TV. These channels will go live in January 2026, offering full tournament coverage, player features, current stories, and historical highlights. MS Golf 1 will air complete tournament broadcasts, while MS Golf 2 will provide supplementary content. Coverage begins January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The service will be included at no extra cost for all Magenta TV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has found a new home on Magenta TV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first tee shot to the final putt, we’ll deliver every tournament live, informative, and in a modern format,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Keeps the Majors
Despite losing a significant portion of golf coverage, Sky will continue to broadcast all Major Championships in the coming years. This includes the sport’s most prestigious events, alongside the Ryder Cup and the Solheim Cup. All five women’s Majors will also remain with Sky, ensuring that fans of the biggest tournaments will still need a Sky subscription.
To follow weekly golf action and the sport’s biggest events, viewers will need to subscribe to both Magenta TV and Sky.
