Starting January 2026, Magenta TV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Majors remain with Sky.
Golf fans in Germany will have a new home for live coverage starting January 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 Magenta TV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, Magenta TV will broadcast the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky retains 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 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 air full tournament coverage, while MS Golf 2 will feature additional content such as player features, historical highlights, and on-demand programming. The coverage kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The year-round programming will be available at no extra cost to all Magenta TV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has found a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever—live, informative, and modern from the first tee shot to the final putt,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains the Majors
Sky has not lost all 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. Sky will also retain rights to the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors, ensuring continued access to the top-tier tournaments in women’s golf.
Golf fans who want to follow weekly tournaments and major events will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky to enjoy full coverage.
