After losing PGA and DP World Tour rights, Sky Sport obtains LIV Golf and Asian Tour live rights from 2026 with 600 hours of coverage.
Following the loss of exclusive broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in the German-speaking region to Magenta TV from 2026, Sky Sport has now secured the rights to LIV Golf and key Asian Tour tournaments starting in 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling around 600 hours of live golf on television.
Sky Reacts to Rights Loss by Acquiring LIV Golf and Asian Tour Broadcasts
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Deutschland, expressed enthusiasm about Sky Sport’s long-term rights to all four men’s Major tournaments, the five women’s Majors, all major women’s events, and now LIV Golf 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 fantastic venues. Our customers can look forward to innovatively produced golf events featuring 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, where an international field competes for three coveted wild card spots for the 2026 LIV Golf League season. Participants include German pros Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, Max Rottluff, and Austrian Matthias Schwab. Sky Sport Golf will broadcast LIV Golf Promotions live daily from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
With the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour along with over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport continues to offer a comprehensive golf program. Coverage of the DP World Tour and PGA Tour tournaments will be shown on Magenta TV starting January 15, 2026. Golf fans wanting to watch weekly live golf and major tournaments on their devices will need two subscriptions going forward.
