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 their favorite sport as Telekom, via its Magenta TV platform, has acquired the broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour starting in 2026. The deal runs through 2029 and includes coverage of 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, Magenta TV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky will retain 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 newly launched channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2. These channels will debut in January 2026 and offer full tournament coverage, player features, current stories, and historical content. MS Golf 1 will broadcast all tournaments in full, while MS Golf 2 will provide supplementary content. The coverage kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The service will be available at no extra cost to all Magenta TV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has found a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first tee shot to the final putt, we’ll present every tournament like never before—live, informative, and in a modern format,” 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 biggest events in men’s and women’s golf, such as the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors. As a result, viewers wanting full golf coverage will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
