After losing the PGA Tour and DP World Tour rights, Sky Sport secures from 2026 the rights to LIV Golf and the Asian Tour – offering around 600 hours of live golf coverage.
After losing exclusive broadcast rights for the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour in the German-speaking region to Telekom’s Magenta TV from 2026, Sky has now acquired the broadcasting rights for LIV Golf and major Asian Tour tournaments starting 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling approximately 600 live hours on television.
Sky Reacts to Rights Loss with LIV Golf and Asian Tour Entry
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, expresses his excitement that Sky Sport will hold long-term rights for all four men’s major championships, the five women’s majors, all important women’s tournaments, and now additionally the 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 provide 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 kicks off Friday, January 9, 2026, with live coverage of the qualifying event ‘LIV Golf Promotions 2026’ at the Black Diamond Ranch in Florida, where an international field competes for three coveted wild card spots for the LIV Golf League 2026 season. Among participants are German professionals Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, and Max Rottluff as well as Austrian Matthias Schwab. Sky Sport Golf will broadcast the LIV Golf Promotions daily from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm live.
