Starting January 2026, MagentaTV 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 2026. Telekom has acquired the broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its platform MagentaTV. 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 retain the rights to all men’s and women’s Major tournaments.
300 Days of Live Golf on MagentaTV
The new rights package includes approximately 300 days of live golf annually across two newly launched channels—MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2—available on MagentaTV starting January 2026. MS Golf 1 will feature full-length tournament broadcasts, while MS Golf 2 will provide additional content such as player features, current stories, and historical highlights. The programming kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. All content will be available at no extra cost to MagentaTV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has found a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever—from the first tee to the final putt, live and modern,” said Arnim Butzen, Head of TV at Telekom.
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 biggest events in both 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 weekly tournaments and the Majors will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky.
