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 acquired the rights to LIV Golf and the major tournaments of the Asian Tour for the same period. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling around 600 hours of live golf coverage.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss with LIV Golf and Asian Tour Partnership
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Deutschland, expressed enthusiasm about the long-term rights acquisition. Sky Sport will hold the rights for all four men’s major championships, the five women’s majors, all significant women’s tournaments, as well as 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 outstanding 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 kicks off on Friday, January 9, 2026, with live coverage of the qualifying event “LIV Golf Promotions 2026” at Black Diamond Ranch in Florida, featuring an international field competing for three coveted wildcard spots for the LIV Golf League 2026 season.
