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 home for live coverage starting in 2026. Telekom has secured broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its MagentaTV platform. The agreement runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, MagentaTV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky retains the rights to the men’s and women’s Major tournaments.
300 Days of Golf on MagentaTV
The new rights package includes around 300 days of live golf annually, spread across two new dedicated channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2. These channels will launch in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will broadcast all tournaments in full, while MS Golf 2 will feature additional content such as player features, stories, and historical highlights. The programming kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. All content will be available at no extra cost to MagentaTV subscribers and included in all packages. MagentaSport customers will also have access through their existing subscriptions.
“Golf has a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first tee to the final putt, we’ll show every tournament like never before—live, informative, and with a modern storytelling approach,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains the Majors
Despite losing a significant portion of golf broadcasting rights, Sky will continue to air all Major tournaments 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 wanting full coverage of the golf calendar will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky.
