Starting January 2026, MagentaTV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Sky retains the Majors.
Golf fans in Germany will have a new destination for live coverage starting in 2026. Telekom has secured the broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its platform MagentaTV. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, MagentaTV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky will continue to broadcast all men’s and women’s Major Championships.
300 Days of Live Golf on MagentaTV
The new rights package includes approximately 300 days of live golf annually, spread across two new dedicated channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2, launching in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will feature full-length tournament broadcasts, while MS Golf 2 will offer additional content such as player features, highlights, and historical segments. The first broadcasts begin January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The golf coverage will be included at no extra cost for all MagentaTV subscribers and MagentaSport customers.
“Golf has found a new home at MagentaTV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first tee shots to the final putt, we’ll show every tournament like never before—live, informative, and with a modern storytelling approach,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains the Majors
Despite losing a significant portion of golf coverage, Sky will continue to broadcast all Major Championships in the coming years. This includes the most prestigious events in men’s and women’s golf, such as the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors. As a result, viewers who want full access to weekly tournaments and the biggest events will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky.
