Starting January 2026, MagentaTV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Majors remain with Sky.
Golf fans in Germany will soon have a new home for live coverage as Telekom has secured broadcasting 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 the first year alone. Additionally, MagentaTV will air the Ryder Cup in 2027 and 2029. However, Sky retains the rights to broadcast 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, spread across two newly launched channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2. These channels will debut in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will feature full-length tournament broadcasts, while MS Golf 2 will offer supplementary content such as player features, current stories, and historical highlights. On-demand content will also be available. Coverage begins January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The golf programming will be included at no extra cost for all MagentaTV and MagentaSport subscribers.
“Golf has a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we offer Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV. “We’ll show every tournament from the first tee shot to the final putt—live, informative, and with a modern touch. This package is designed for both seasoned golf fans and new, younger audiences discovering the sport.”
Sky Retains the Majors
Despite losing a significant portion of weekly tour coverage, Sky will continue to broadcast all Major Championships in the coming years. This includes the most prestigious events in men’s and women’s golf, such as the Solheim Cup and all five women’s Majors. As a result, fans wanting to follow both weekly tour events and the Majors will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky.
