After losing PGA and DP World Tour rights, Sky Sport secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour broadcasts with around 600 hours live.After losing exclusive broadcast 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 key tournaments of the Asian Tour starting in 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling around 600 hours of live golf coverage.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss by Joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, is pleased that Sky Sport now holds long-term broadcasting rights for all four men’s Major tournaments, the five women’s Major tournaments, all major women’s events, and now also the LIV Golf League and Asian Tour. He said, “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 top players in the world.”
The partnership begins 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 LIV Golf League 2026 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 daily from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM live.
With LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour, and over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport continues to offer a comprehensive golf program. From January 15, 2026, DP World Tour and PGA Tour tournaments will be broadcast on Magenta TV. Golf fans wishing to watch weekly live golf and major tournaments on their devices will need two subscriptions in the future.
