Starting January 2026, Magenta TV 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 beginning in 2026. After years of exclusive broadcasting by Sky, Telekom has secured the rights to air tournaments from the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Champions Tour via its Magenta TV platform. The deal runs through 2029 and includes coverage of 131 tournaments in the first year alone. Additionally, Magenta TV will broadcast 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 Magenta TV
The new rights package includes approximately 300 days of live golf each year across two new dedicated channels—MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2—launching 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 kicks off on January 15 with the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Dubai Invitational. The golf programming will be included at no additional cost for all Magenta TV subscribers, as well as MagentaSport customers.
“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 shots to the final putts, live, informative, and modern,” said Arnim Butzen, Telekom’s Head of TV.
Sky Retains the Majors
Despite losing a significant portion of golf broadcasting rights, Sky will continue to air 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 full access to weekly golf and the biggest tournaments will need subscriptions to both Magenta TV and Sky.
