After losing PGA Tour and DP World Tour rights, Sky secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour broadcasts from 2026, offering 600 hours of live golf.
Following the loss of exclusive broadcasting rights to the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in the German-speaking region to Telekom’s Magenta TV starting in 2026, Sky Sport has now obtained rights to LIV Golf and key tournaments of the Asian Tour from 2026 onward. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling around 600 hours of live coverage on TV.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss by Joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Deutschland, expressed enthusiasm about securing long-term broadcast rights not only for all four men’s major tournaments and all five women’s majors but also for LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour. He said, ‘The global schedule of LIV Golf and its unique team and individual competition format offer fans access to some of the biggest golf stars and fantastic venues. Our customers can look forward to innovatively produced golf events featuring many of the world’s most exciting and best players.’
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 LIV Golf League 2026 season. Participating will be German pros Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, Max Rottluff, and Austrian Matthias Schwab. Sky Sport Golf will broadcast LIV Golf Promotions daily from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm live.
With the LIV Golf League, the Asian Tour, and a total of over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport continues to offer an extensive golf program. Coverage of DP World Tour and PGA Tour events will begin January 15, 2026, on Magenta TV. To watch weekly live golf and the major tournaments on their devices in the future, viewers will need to subscribe to two services.
