Sky Sport secures rights to LIV Golf and Asian Tour from 2026 with around 600 hours of live golf.
After losing the exclusive broadcasting rights for the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour in the German-speaking region to Magenta TV from 2026, Sky Sport now secures the rights to LIV Golf and the top tournaments of the Asian Tour starting in 2026. Sky Sport will broadcast 30 events from both tours, totaling approximately 600 hours of live coverage.
Sky Responds to Rights Loss by Partnering with LIV Golf and Asian Tour
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialization at Sky Germany, is pleased that Sky Sport will hold the long-term rights for all four men’s Major tournaments, the five women’s Majors, all major women’s events, and now also the rights to the LIV Golf league and the Asian Tour. He states, ‘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 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 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 competes for three coveted wildcard spots for the LIV Golf League 2026 season. Among the participants are 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, along with over 1,000 hours of live coverage annually, Sky Sport will continue to offer its customers an extensive golf program. From January 15, 2026, tournaments of the DP World Tour and PGA Tour will be shown on Magenta TV. Viewers wishing to watch live golf weekly and big tournaments on their devices in the future will need to subscribe to two services.
