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 in 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 via 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 tournaments.
300 Days of Golf on Two Dedicated Magenta TV Channels
The new rights package includes approximately 300 days of live golf annually across two new channels, MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2, launching in January 2026. These channels will feature full tournament broadcasts, player features, current stories, and historical content. Many programs will also be available on-demand. MS Golf 1 will carry full-length tournament coverage, while MS Golf 2 will offer supplementary content. Coverage kicks off January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The entire offering is included at no extra cost for Magenta TV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has found a new home on Magenta TV. With this package, we’re offering Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first tee shots to the final putts, we’ll show every tournament like never before—live, informative, and with a modern storytelling approach,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains the Majors
Despite losing a significant portion of golf broadcasting rights, Sky will continue to air all Major tournaments in the coming years. This includes the most prestigious events in men’s and women’s golf, such as the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors. As a result, fans who want to follow both regular tour events and Majors will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
