After losing the PGA Tour and DP World Tour rights, Sky Sports secures the rights to LIV Golf and the Asian Tour from 2026, offering around 600 hours of live golf coverage.
Following the loss of exclusive broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour in the German-speaking region to Telekom’s Magenta TV starting in 2026, Sky has now obtained the broadcasting rights for LIV Golf and the major tournaments of the Asian Tour from 2026. Sky Sports will broadcast 30 events from these two tours, totaling approximately 600 hours of live television.
Sky Reacts to Rights Loss by Joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, expresses excitement that Sky Sports will hold long-term broadcasting rights for all four men’s major tournaments, the five women’s major tournaments, all important women’s events, and now also rights to the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour. He states, ‘The global schedule of LIV Golf and its unique team and individual competition format give fans access to some of the biggest golf stars and great venues. Our customers can look forward to innovatively produced golf events and many of the most exciting and best players in the world.’
The partnership begins on Friday, January 9, 2026, with live coverage of the Qualifying Event ‘LIV Golf Promotions 2026’ at Black Diamond Ranch in Florida. An international field will compete for three coveted wildcard spots for the 2026 LIV Golf League season. Among the participants are German pros Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, and Max Rottluff, as well as Austrian Matthias Schwab. Sky Sports Golf will broadcast the LIV Golf Promotions daily from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm live.
Extensive Live Golf Coverage Planned
With the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour, and over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sports continues to offer its customers comprehensive golf content. Starting January 15, 2026, coverage of DP World Tour and PGA Tour events will be available on Magenta TV. Golf fans wishing to follow weekly live golf and major tournaments on their devices will need to subscribe to both services.
