After losing PGA and DP World Tour rights, Sky secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour coverage with around 600 hours live golf from 2026.
After Sky Sport lost exclusive broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in German-speaking areas to Telekom’s Magenta TV starting in 2026, it has now acquired the rights to LIV Golf and key tournaments of the Asian Tour from 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events of both tours, totaling approximately 600 hours of live golf coverage on television.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss by Joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President of Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, is delighted that Sky Sport will long-term hold broadcasting rights for all four men’s major championships, the five women’s majors, all important women’s tournaments, and now also the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour. He says: “The global LIV Golf schedule and the 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 starts on Friday, January 9, 2026, with the live broadcast 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 LIV Golf League 2026 season. Participants include 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, along with over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport continues to offer a comprehensive golf package. The tournaments of the DP World Tour and PGA Tour will be broadcast from January 15, 2026, on Magenta TV. Those who want to watch live golf weekly and the major tournaments on their devices will need two subscriptions in the future.
