Starting January 2026, MagentaTV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Majors remain with Sky.
Golf fans in Germany will have a new destination for live coverage starting in 2026. Telekom has secured the broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its platform MagentaTV. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029 will also be shown on MagentaTV. However, Sky retains the rights to all men’s and women’s Major tournaments.
300 Days of Live Golf on MagentaTV
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 on MagentaTV. MS Golf 1 will feature full-length tournament broadcasts, while MS Golf 2 will offer additional content such as player features, current stories, and historical highlights. All content will also be available on demand. Coverage kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The full programming 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’re offering Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever—from the first tee shot to the final putt, live, informative, and told in a modern way,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains Major Championships
Despite losing a significant portion of golf rights, Sky will continue to broadcast 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, fans who want to follow both weekly tour events and the Majors will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky.
