Starting January 2026, Magenta TV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Majors remain with Sky.
Golf fans in Germany will have a new home for live coverage starting in 2026. After years of exclusivity with Sky, Telekom has acquired the broadcast rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its Magenta TV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029 will be shown on Magenta TV. However, Sky retains the rights to all men’s and women’s Major Championships.
300 Days of Live Golf on Magenta TV
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. These channels will launch in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will provide full-length coverage of all tournaments, while MS Golf 2 will offer additional content such as player features, current stories, and historical highlights. On-demand content will also be available. Coverage kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The programming will be included at no extra cost for all Magenta TV subscribers, including those with MagentaSport packages.
“Golf has a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first tee shots to the final putts, we’ll show every tournament like never before—live, informative, and with a modern storytelling approach. This package is for both seasoned fans and new, younger viewers discovering the sport,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains the Majors
Despite the shift, Sky will continue to broadcast all Major Championships in the coming years, maintaining coverage of golf’s most prestigious events alongside the Ryder Cup. Sky will also retain rights to the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors, ensuring continued access to the top-tier events in both men’s and women’s golf.
To follow weekly golf action and the sport’s biggest tournaments, fans will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
