After losing PGA Tour and DP World Tour rights, Sky Sport secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour rights from 2026 with 600 hours live coverage.
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 acquired the rights to LIV Golf and key tournaments of the Asian Tour from 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling around 600 hours of live golf coverage on television.
Sky Reacts to Rights Loss with LIV Golf and Asian Tour Entry
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, is pleased that Sky Sport will long-term hold the broadcasting rights for all four men’s major tournaments, the five women’s majors, all important women’s tournaments, and now the LIV Golf league and Asian Tour rights. He states: ‘The global LIV Golf schedule 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 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. 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 daily from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm live.
With the LIV Golf League, Asian Tour, and over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport continues to offer its customers extensive golf content. Coverage of DP World Tour and PGA Tour tournaments will be available on Magenta TV starting January 15, 2026. To follow weekly live golf and watch the major tournaments on their devices, viewers will need two subscriptions.
