After losing PGA and DP World Tour rights, Sky secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour rights from 2026 with 600 hours of live golf.
Following the loss of exclusive broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in the German-speaking region to Telekom’s Magenta TV from 2026, Sky Sport has now secured the rights for LIV Golf and the most important tournaments of the Asian Tour starting in 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling around 600 hours of live coverage on television.
Sky Reacts to Rights Loss with LIV Golf and Asian Tour Partnership
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President of Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Deutschland, expresses his excitement about Sky Sport’s long-term rights to all four men’s Major tournaments, all five women’s majors, other major women’s events, and now the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour. He said, ‘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 fantastic venues. Our customers can look forward to innovatively produced golf events and many of the most exciting and top players in the world.’
The partnership will begin on Friday, January 9, 2026, with the live broadcast of the qualifying event “LIV Golf Promotions 2026” at Black Diamond Ranch in Florida, where an international field competes 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 Sport Golf will broadcast the LIV Golf Promotions live daily from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
With the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour, and over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport continues to offer its customers extensive golf content. The DP World Tour and PGA Tour will be broadcast from January 15, 2026, on Magenta TV. Fans wanting to watch weekly live golf and major tournaments on their devices will need two subscriptions in the future.
