After losing PGA Tour and DP World Tour rights, Sky secures LIV Golf and Asian Tour rights from 2026 with around 600 hours live.
After losing the exclusive broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in German-speaking regions to Telekom’s Magenta TV from 2026, Sky Sport has now secured the rights to LIV Golf and the key tournaments of the Asian Tour starting in 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling roughly 600 hours of live golf coverage on television.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss by Joining LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, expressed his enthusiasm as Sky Sport now holds long-term broadcasting rights for all four men’s Major tournaments, the five women’s Majors, all important women’s events, and additionally the LIV Golf league and the Asian Tour. He stated, ‘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 fantastic venues. Our customers can look forward to innovatively produced golf events featuring many of the most exciting and best players in the world.’
The partnership kicks off 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 competes for three coveted wildcard spots for the LIV Golf League 2026 season. Competitors include German pros Dominic Foos, Max Kieffer, Max Rottluff, and Austrian Matthias Schwab. 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 over 1,000 hours of annual live coverage, Sky Sport continues to offer a comprehensive golf program to its customers. Coverage of DP World Tour and PGA Tour events will be available on Magenta TV starting January 15, 2026.
