After losing PGA and DP World Tour rights, Sky Sport secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour rights from 2026 with 600 hours live coverage.
Following the loss of exclusive broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in German-speaking regions to Telekom’s Magenta TV starting 2026, Sky Sport has acquired the rights to LIV Golf and key tournaments of the Asian Tour from 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling around 600 hours of live golf coverage.
Sky Sport Responds to Rights Loss by Joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, expressed enthusiasm that Sky Sport now holds long-term broadcasting rights for all four men’s major tournaments, all five women’s majors, other significant 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 formats 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 best players worldwide.’
The partnership begins 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 the LIV Golf Promotions daily from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM live.
With the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour, plus over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport continues to offer an extensive golf program. Coverage of DP World Tour and PGA Tour tournaments will be available on Magenta TV starting January 15, 2026. Golf fans wishing to follow weekly live golf and major tournaments on their devices will need two subscriptions going forward.
