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 starting in 2026. Telekom has secured the broadcasting rights for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour through its platform MagentaTV, ending Sky’s long-standing exclusivity. 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 rights package includes around 300 days of live golf annually, spread across two new dedicated channels: MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2, launching in January 2026. MS Golf 1 will feature full tournament broadcasts, while MS Golf 2 will offer additional content such as player features, stories, and historical highlights. The service 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 plans. MagentaSport customers will also have access as part of their existing subscriptions.
“Golf has found a new home at 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 and in a modern, engaging format,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
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 both 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.
