Sky Sport secures the rights to LIV Golf and the Asian Tour from 2026, offering around 600 hours of live golf coverage.
After losing the exclusive broadcast 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 broadcast rights for LIV Golf and the major tournaments of the Asian Tour from 2026 onward. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling approximately 600 hours of live TV coverage.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss by Joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Deutschland, expressed excitement about Sky Sport’s long-term rights for all four men’s Major championships, the five women’s Majors, key women’s tournaments, and now the rights to LIV Golf and the Asian Tour. He stated: “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 featuring many of the most exciting and top players worldwide.”
The partnership begins on Friday, January 9, 2026, with live coverage of the “LIV Golf Promotions 2026” qualifying event 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, Max Rottluff, and Austrian Matthias Schwab. Sky Sport Golf will broadcast the LIV Golf Promotions daily from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM live.
With LIV Golf League, the Asian Tour, and over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport continues to offer an extensive golf portfolio to its customers. The DP World Tour and PGA Tour tournaments will be broadcast by Magenta TV starting January 15, 2026. Golf fans wishing to follow the sport live on their devices weekly will need two separate subscriptions in the future.
