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 January 2026. After years of exclusive broadcasting by Sky, Telekom has acquired the rights to air PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour events via its Magenta TV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, Magenta TV will broadcast the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky retains the rights to all men’s and women’s Major tournaments.
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, launching in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will feature full live coverage of all tournaments, 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 first broadcasts will begin on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The entire offering will be included at no extra cost for all Magenta TV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“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,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains the Majors
Sky has not lost all broadcasting rights. It will continue to air all Major tournaments in the coming years, maintaining coverage of the sport’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 top-tier women’s golf.
Golf fans wanting full coverage of weekly tournaments and Majors will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
