After losing PGA Tour and DP World Tour rights, Sky secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour rights with around 600 hours of live golf from 2026.
After Sky Sport lost the exclusive broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in the German-speaking region to Telekom’s Magenta TV starting in 2026, Sky has now secured the rights to LIV Golf and the major tournaments of the Asian Tour from 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from these two tours, totaling approximately 600 hours of live television coverage.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss by Joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Deutschland, is pleased that Sky Sport will hold long-term broadcasting rights for all four men’s major championships, the five women’s major championships, all important women’s tournaments, and now the rights to the LIV Golf league and the Asian Tour. He stated, “The global schedule of LIV Golf and its unique team and individual competition format offer 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 on Friday, January 9, 2026, with live coverage of the qualifying event “LIV Golf Promotions 2026” at Black Diamond Ranch in Florida, where an international field will compete for three coveted wildcard spots for the 2026 LIV Golf League season. German professionals Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, Max Rottluff, and Austrian Matthias Schwab will participate. Sky Sport Golf will broadcast the LIV Golf Promotions daily live from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
With the LIV Golf League, the Asian Tour, and over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport continues to offer comprehensive golf content to its customers. Coverage of the DP World Tour and PGA Tour tournaments will be available on Magenta TV from January 15, 2026. Viewers who want to follow weekly live golf and major tournaments will need to subscribe to both services.
