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. Deutsche Telekom has secured the broadcast rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its MagentaTV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in 2026 alone. Additionally, MagentaTV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky retains the rights to all men’s and women’s major championships.
300 Days of Golf on MagentaTV
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. These channels will launch in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will broadcast all tournaments in full, while MS Golf 2 will offer supplementary content such as player features, stories, and historical highlights. On-demand content will also be available. Coverage kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The programming will be included at no extra cost for all MagentaTV subscribers, including MagentaSport users.
“Golf has found a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we’re offering Germany’s most comprehensive golf live coverage ever. From the first tee to the final putt, we’ll showcase 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 its golf content, Sky will continue to broadcast all major championships in the coming years. This includes the four men’s majors and the five women’s majors, as well as the Solheim Cup. These events remain among the most prestigious in golf, ensuring Sky maintains a critical part of the sport’s broadcast landscape.
Fans wanting to follow weekly golf action and the major tournaments will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky to enjoy full coverage.
