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 televised coverage beginning in 2026. Telekom has acquired the broadcasting rights for PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour events through its platform Magenta TV. The deal, which runs through 2029, includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, Magenta TV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky retains 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 newly launched channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2. These will debut on Magenta TV in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will offer full-length broadcasts of all tournaments, while MS Golf 2 will feature highlights, player features, and historical content. On-demand content will also be available. Coverage kicks off January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The entire offering will be included at no extra cost for Magenta TV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has found a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we’re offering Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever—from the first tee shot to the final putt, live and in a modern format,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains the Majors
Despite losing a significant portion of golf content, Sky will continue to broadcast all Major Championships in the coming years. This includes the men’s and women’s Majors as well as the Solheim Cup, ensuring that Sky maintains coverage of the sport’s most prestigious events. Golf fans looking to follow weekly tournaments and the biggest events will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
