Starting January 2026, Magenta TV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Sky retains the Majors.
Golf fans in Germany will have a new home for live coverage starting in 2026. Telekom, via its Magenta TV platform, has acquired exclusive rights to broadcast PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour events. 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 will continue to hold 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 across two new dedicated channels—MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2—launching in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will provide full-length tournament coverage, while MS Golf 2 will offer supplementary content such as player features, current stories, and historical highlights. Content will also be available on-demand. Coverage kicks off January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The golf content will be included at no extra cost for all MagentaTV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has found a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV. “From the first tee shot to the final putt, we’ll present every tournament live, informative, and in a modern format—appealing to both seasoned fans and new, younger audiences.”
Sky Retains the Majors
Despite losing a large 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 wanting full coverage of the golf calendar will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
