Starting January 2026, MagentaTV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Sky retains the Majors.
Golf fans in Germany will have a new home for live coverage starting January 2026. After years of exclusive broadcasting by Sky, Deutsche Telekom has acquired the rights to air PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour events via its platform MagentaTV. The deal runs through 2029 and includes 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, MagentaTV will broadcast the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky will continue to hold the rights to all men’s and women’s Major championships.
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 on MagentaTV in January 2026. Alongside full tournament coverage, viewers can expect features on top players, current stories, and historical content. On-demand options will also be available. MS Golf 1 will focus on full tournament broadcasts, while MS Golf 2 will offer supplementary content. Coverage kicks off January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The entire offering will be included at no extra cost for 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, every tournament will be shown live, informative, and in a modern format,” said Arnim Butzen, Head of TV at Telekom. “This package is designed for both seasoned golf fans and younger viewers discovering the sport.”
Sky Retains the Majors
Despite losing a significant portion of golf coverage, 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 wanting full access to weekly tournaments and the Majors will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky.
