Starting January 2026, MagentaTV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Sky retains the Majors.
Golf is getting a new home on German television. From January 2026, Deutsche Telekom’s MagentaTV 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 the first year alone. Additionally, MagentaTV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky will continue to broadcast all men’s and women’s Major tournaments.
300 Days of Live Golf on MagentaTV
The new rights package includes around 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 feature full tournament coverage, while MS Golf 2 will offer additional content such as player features, current stories, and historical highlights. On-demand content will also be available. Coverage kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The full-year programming will be included at no extra cost for all MagentaTV subscribers, including those with MagentaSport packages.
“Golf has found a new home at MagentaTV. With this package, we’re offering Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever—live, informative, and modern,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV. “It’s designed for both seasoned fans and younger viewers discovering the sport.”
Sky Retains the Majors
Sky hasn’t lost all its golf rights. It will continue to broadcast all Major tournaments in the coming years, maintaining coverage of the sport’s most prestigious events alongside the Ryder Cup. Sky will also retain rights to the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors, ensuring a strong presence in both men’s and women’s top-tier golf.
To follow all weekly golf action and major tournaments, fans will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky.
