Starting January 2026, Magenta TV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Sky retains the Majors.
Golf fans in Germany will have a new home for live coverage starting in 2026. Telekom has secured 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 will continue to hold 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 annually across two dedicated channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2, launching in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will feature full tournament broadcasts, while MS Golf 2 will offer additional content such as player features, 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 a new home at MagentaTV. 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 modern,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains Major Championships
Despite losing a significant portion of the golf calendar, Sky will continue to broadcast all Major Championships in the coming years. This includes the most prestigious events in both men’s and women’s golf, such as the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors. As a result, fans wanting full coverage of the golf season will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
