Breaking: Telekom Secures Extensive Golf Rights for Magenta TV

Starting January 2026, Magenta TV 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 secured the broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its platform Magenta TV. 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 retains the rights to all men’s and women’s Major Championships.

300 Days of Golf on Magenta TV

The new rights package includes approximately 300 days of live golf annually, spread across two new dedicated channels—MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2—launching in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will provide full tournament coverage, while MS Golf 2 will feature 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 all Magenta TV and MagentaSport subscribers.

“Golf has a new home on Magenta TV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first tee shot to the final putt, we’ll show every tournament like never before—live, informative, and with a modern touch,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.

Sky Retains the Majors

Sky will continue to broadcast all Major Championships in the coming years, maintaining rights to the sport’s most prestigious events alongside the Ryder Cup. The Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors will also remain with Sky. As a result, fans who want to follow both weekly tournaments and the biggest events will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
