After losing PGA Tour and DP World Tour rights, Sky Sport secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour 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 2026, Sky Sport has now secured the rights to LIV Golf and key tournaments on the Asian Tour from 2026 onwards. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling approximately 600 hours of live coverage.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss with LIV Golf and Asian Tour Entry
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Deutschland, expressed his enthusiasm about Sky Sport holding long-term broadcasting rights for all four men’s major tournaments, five women’s majors, and all significant women’s events, as well as now acquiring rights for 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 greatest golf stars and fantastic venues. Our customers can look forward to innovatively produced golf events featuring many of the world’s most exciting and top players.’
The partnership will begin 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 will compete 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 LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour, along with over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport will continue to offer an extensive golf package. Coverage of DP World Tour and PGA Tour tournaments will be available on Magenta TV starting January 15, 2026. Fans wishing to watch weekly live golf and major tournaments on their devices will require subscriptions to both services.
