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 January 2026. Telekom has secured exclusive broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its MagentaTV platform. 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. These channels will debut on MagentaTV in January 2026, offering full-length tournament broadcasts, player features, historical highlights, and on-demand content. MS Golf 1 will focus on complete tournament coverage, while MS Golf 2 will provide supplementary content. Coverage kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The entire offering will be available at no extra cost to MagentaTV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has a new home at 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 deliver every tournament live, informative, and in a modern format,” 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 championships 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 weekly tournaments and the Majors will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky.
