Starting January 2026, Magenta TV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Majors remain with Sky.
Golf fans in Germany will see a major shift in TV coverage beginning in January 2026. After years of exclusive broadcasting by Sky, Telekom has acquired the rights to air tournaments from the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour via its Magenta TV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, Magenta TV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky retains the rights to the men’s and women’s Major Championships.
300 Days of Live Golf on Magenta TV
The new broadcasting package includes approximately 300 days of live golf annually across two new dedicated channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2, launching in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will show full tournament coverage, while MS Golf 2 will offer supplementary content such as player features, current stories, and historical highlights. On-demand content will also be available. The coverage kicks off 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 found a new home at MagentaTV. With this package, we’re offering Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first tee shots to the final putts, we’ll present every tournament like never before—live, informative, and with a modern touch,” 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, fans who want to follow both weekly tournaments and the Majors will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
