After losing PGA Tour and DP World Tour rights, Sky secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour broadcasting rights from 2026 with around 600 hours of live golf.
Following the loss of exclusive broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in the German-speaking region to Telekom’s Magenta TV starting in 2026, Sky Sport has now secured the rights to LIV Golf and key tournaments of the Asian Tour from 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling approximately 600 hours of live television.
Sky Sport Reacts to Rights Loss by Joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President of Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, is pleased that Sky Sport will hold long-term broadcasting rights for all four men’s major tournaments, the five women’s majors, all key women’s tournaments, as well as the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour. He stated, “The global schedule of LIV Golf and its unique team and individual competition format provide fans access to some of the biggest golf stars and great venues. Our customers can look forward to innovatively produced golf events and many of the most exciting and best players in the world.”
The partnership begins on Friday, January 9, 2026, with live coverage of the qualifying event ‘LIV Golf Promotions 2026’ at Black Diamond Ranch in Florida, where an international field competes for three coveted wildcard spots for the 2026 LIV Golf League season. Among the participants are German professionals Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, Max Rottluff, and Austrian Matthias Schwab. Sky Sport Golf will broadcast the LIV Golf Promotions live daily from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
With the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour, and over 1,000 hours of live coverage per year, Sky Sport continues to offer an extensive golf portfolio. The DP World Tour and PGA Tour tournaments will be broadcast by Magenta TV starting January 15, 2026. Fans wishing to follow live golf weekly and watch major tournaments on their devices will need to subscribe to both services.
