Starting January 2026, Magenta TV will air PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events; Majors remain with Sky.
Golf fans in Germany will have a new home for live coverage starting in 2026. After years of exclusive broadcasting by Sky, Telekom has secured the rights to air PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour events on its Magenta TV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029 will also be shown on Magenta TV. However, Sky retains the rights to the 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 per year across two newly launched channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2. These channels will debut on Magenta TV in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will broadcast all tournaments in full, while MS Golf 2 will offer supplementary content such as player features, current stories, and historical highlights. On-demand content will also be available. Coverage kicks off January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The programming will be included at no extra cost for 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 shots to the final putts, we’ll present every tournament like never before—live, informative, and with a modern storytelling approach,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains Major Championships
Sky hasn’t lost all its golf broadcasting rights. It will continue to air all men’s and women’s Major Championships in the coming years, including the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors. These events, along with the Ryder Cup, remain among the most prestigious in the sport. As a result, golf fans looking to follow both weekly tournaments and the biggest events will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
