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 2026, Sky Sport has now secured the broadcast rights for LIV Golf and the key tournaments of the Asian Tour starting 2026. Sky Sport will televise 30 events from these two tours, totaling approximately 600 hours of live coverage.
Sky reacts to rights loss with investment in LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, is pleased that Sky Sport will long-term hold the rights for all four men’s Major tournaments, the five women’s Major tournaments, all important women’s events, and now also the rights to the LIV Golf league and the Asian Tour. He says: “The global schedule of LIV Golf and its 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, featuring an international field competing for three coveted wildcard spots for the 2026 LIV Golf League season. German pros Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, Max Rottluff, and Austrian Matthias Schwab will participate. 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 Asian Tour plus more than 1,000 hours of live coverage per year, Sky Sport will continue to offer extensive golf content. Coverage of DP World Tour and PGA Tour events will be available on Magenta TV starting January 15, 2026. Future weekly live golf viewing of major tournaments will require two subscriptions.
