After losing PGA and DP World Tour rights, Sky Sport secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour broadcasting from 2026 with 600 hours live golf.
After Sky Sport lost the exclusive broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in the German-speaking region to Magenta TV starting in 2026, it has now secured the rights for LIV Golf and the key tournaments of the Asian Tour from 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling around 600 hours of live coverage on TV.
Sky Reacts to Rights Loss by Entering LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Deutschland, is pleased that Sky Sport will hold the long-term broadcasting rights for all four men’s Majors, the five women’s Majors, all major women’s tournaments, and now the rights to the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour. He stated, “The global schedule of LIV Golf and its unique team and individual competition format offer 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 the Black Diamond Ranch in Florida, featuring an international field competing for three coveted wildcard spots for the LIV Golf League 2026 season. Among the participants are German pros Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, Max Rottluff, and Austrian Matthias Schwab. Sky Sport Golf will broadcast LIV Golf Promotions live daily from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
With the LIV Golf League and Asian Tour, along with over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport will continue to offer an extensive golf program. Coverage of the DP World Tour and PGA Tour tournaments will be available on Magenta TV starting January 15, 2026. From then on, viewers wanting to follow weekly live golf and major tournaments on their devices will need to subscribe to two different services.
