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. Telekom, through its Magenta TV platform, has secured exclusive broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour. 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 broadcast 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, launching in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will feature full-length tournament coverage, while MS Golf 2 will offer additional 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 golf coverage will be included at no extra cost for all Magenta TV subscribers and available to MagentaSport customers as part of their existing plans.
“Golf has a new home at 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 narrative,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains Major Championships
Despite losing a significant portion of golf broadcasting rights, Sky will continue to air 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, viewers who want full golf coverage—including weekly tour events and the Majors—will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
