Breaking: Telekom Secures Major Golf Broadcasting Rights for MagentaTV

Starting January 2026, MagentaTV will broadcast PGA, DP World, and Champions Tour events. Majors remain with Sky.

Golf fans in Germany will see a major shift in TV coverage beginning in 2026. Telekom has secured exclusive rights to broadcast PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour events via 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 all men’s and women’s Major Championships.

300 Days of Live Golf on MagentaTV

The new broadcasting package includes approximately 300 days of live golf annually across two dedicated channels—MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2—launching in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will feature full tournament coverage, while MS Golf 2 will offer additional content such as player features, highlights, and historical segments. 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 MagentaSport users.

“Golf has 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 modern,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.

Sky Retains Major Championships

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 both 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 Majors will need subscriptions to both MagentaTV and Sky.
