After losing PGA and DP World Tour rights, Sky 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 in 2026, Sky Sport now secures broadcasting rights for LIV Golf and key Asian Tour events from 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling about 600 hours of live golf coverage.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss by Joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, expressed enthusiasm as Sky Sport will hold long-term broadcasting rights for all four men’s major tournaments, all five women’s majors, other significant women’s events, and now LIV Golf and the Asian Tour. He says, ‘The global schedule of LIV Golf and its unique team and individual competition formats offer fans access to some of the biggest golf stars and great venues. Our customers can look forward to innovatively produced golf events featuring many of the most exciting and top players in the world.’
The partnership begins 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 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 LIV Golf Promotions live daily from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
With LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour, and over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport continues to offer an extensive golf program. Meanwhile, DP World Tour and PGA Tour broadcasts will be available on Magenta TV from January 15, 2026. Golf fans wishing to follow weekly live tournaments will need subscriptions to both services.
