Starting January 2026, MagentaTV 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 January 2026. After years of exclusive broadcasting by Sky, Telekom has secured the rights to air PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour events on its MagentaTV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029 will also be shown on MagentaTV. However, Sky will continue to hold the rights to 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 newly launched channels—MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2—on MagentaTV. These channels will go live in January 2026, offering full tournament coverage, player features, current stories, and historical content. MS Golf 1 will broadcast all tournaments in full, while MS Golf 2 will focus on 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 all MagentaTV subscribers, including those with MagentaSport packages.
“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 shot to the final putt, we’ll deliver each tournament live, informative, and in a modern format,” said Arnim Butzen, Head of TV at Telekom. “This package is designed for both seasoned golf fans and younger viewers discovering the sport.”
Sky Retains the Majors
Despite losing a significant portion of its golf portfolio, Sky will continue to broadcast all Major Championships in the coming years. This includes the most prestigious events in the sport, 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.
To follow weekly golf action and the sport’s biggest tournaments, fans will need to subscribe to both MagentaTV and Sky starting in 2026.
