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.
After the broadcaster Sky Sport lost the exclusive broadcast rights of the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour in German-speaking countries to Magenta TV by Telekom from 2026, Sky now secures the broadcasting rights to LIV Golf and major tournaments of the Asian Tour starting in 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling around 600 hours of live TV coverage.
Sky responds to rights loss by joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, is pleased that Sky Sport will hold long-term broadcast rights for all four men’s Major tournaments, the five women’s major tournaments, all important women’s events, as well as 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 top players in the world.”
The partnership begins 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 wild card spots for the LIV Golf League 2026 season. Among the participants are German pros Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, and Max Rottluff, as well as Austrian Matthias Schwab. Sky Sport Golf will broadcast the LIV Golf Promotions live daily from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
