Starting January 2026, MagentaTV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Sky retains the Majors.
Golf will find a new home on German television beginning in January 2026. After years of exclusive coverage by Sky, Telekom has acquired the broadcasting rights for PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour events through its MagentaTV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and covers 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 Championships.
300 Days of Live Golf on MagentaTV
The new rights package includes approximately 300 days of live golf annually across two new dedicated golf channels—MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2—launching on MagentaTV in January 2026. These channels will feature full tournament coverage, player features, current stories, and historical content. Many programs will also be available on demand. MS Golf 1 will broadcast all tournaments in full, while MS Golf 2 will offer supplementary content. 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 MagentaTV subscribers and included in all plans. MagentaSport customers will also be able to access the content through their existing subscriptions.
“Golf has a new home on MagentaTV. 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 twist. This package is aimed at seasoned golf fans and new, younger audiences discovering the sport,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains the Majors
Sky hasn’t 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 it remains a key player in golf broadcasting.
Golf fans who want to follow weekly tournaments and the biggest events will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky moving forward.
