Sky Deutschland has secured extensive live rights to LIV Golf and the Asian Tour, covering all distribution channels in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. As part of the agreements, Sky Sport will broadcast all LIV Golf events and significant Asian Tour events live in 2026 – totalling at least 30 events and nearly 600 hours of live coverage annually.
LIV Golf will deliver a 2026 Season featuring 14 events across ten countries and five continents; including its first-ever event in South Africa (March 19-22). Sky Sport’s coverage of the 2026 LIV Golf Season will commence February 4-7 with ROSHN Group LIV Golf Riyadh, live from Saudi Arabia, and continue through events in Adelaide, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, USA, the UK and more. Sky Sport’s partnership begins with live coverage of the 2026 LIV Golf Promotions event, January 9-11 at Black Diamond Ranch in Florida, where nearly 80 players will compete for three Wild Card positions in the 2026 LIV Golf League season.
Hans Gabbe, Senior Vice President Sports Rights & Commercialisation at Sky Deutschland: “With long-term exclusive rights to all four men’s majors, comprehensive coverage of the most significant women’s events, and the addition of the LIV Golf League and the Asian Tour, Sky Sport Golf will continue to be the leading destination for golf fans in Germany. LIV Golf’s global schedule and distinctive team and individual competition format offer fans access to the world’s leading, legendary, and emerging golf stars across iconic venues and diverse international markets. In the year ahead, our customers can look forward to innovatively produced events and engagement with many of the world’s most compelling players.”
“Partnering with Sky Germany reflects our continued focus on expanding LIV Golf’s reach, in alignment with Sky Sport’s broader commitment to delivering premium golf coverage, and providing fans across the region access to world-class players and many of the most exciting young talents in the game,” said Örjan Olsson, SVP, International Media Rights at LIV Golf. “This collaboration underscores our shared commitment to growing the sport and reaching new audiences, alongside one of the world’s leading golf broadcast partners. Viewers can expect dynamic storytelling, elite competition, and a fresh, elevated way to connect with golf.”
Via the new rights agreements, golf fans can watch Ryder Cup stars Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Tyrrell Hatton, alongside Masters champions Sergio García, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed and Phil Mickelson. The League also showcases an emerging generation of global talent, including Joaquin Niemann, Tom McKibbin, David Puig, Josele Ballester and Caleb Surratt. German audiences will once again enjoy consistent coverage of Martin Kaymer, the country’s most recent men’s major champion, live on Sky Sport Golf.
The LIV Golf League adds further intrigue through a distinctive and highly competitive promotion and relegation structure, creating season-long intensity across both individual and team competitions. That pathway is directly supported by the Asian Tour through its International Series — a set of elite global events that provide a defined route into the LIV Golf League. Broadcast live by Sky Sport, Asian Tour events feature world-class international fields while offering players the opportunity to earn coveted places in LIV Golf, establishing a clear, merit-based connection between international competition and the world’s golf league.
Sky Sport’s current offering of more than 1,000 hours of live golf coverage each year is further strengthened by the addition of LIV Golf and the Asian Tour, expanding its portfolio of DP World Tour events, innovative broadcast formats, and a world-leading, globally-diverse field. With the four men’s majors, Sky Sport will broadcast the world’s biggest tournaments live and exclusively on a long-term basis. With the US Senior Open, the Senior PGA Championship and the ISPS Handa Open, the three most important senior majors are also part of the programme. In addition, Sky Sport will show all major women’s tournaments in 2026, including the Solheim Cup, all five women’s majors, the Ladies PGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour. The Tomorrow Golf League rounds off Sky Sport’s golf offering.
All golf broadcasts on Sky Sport can be received on the Sky Stream TV platform. The prerequisite for this is booking the Sky Sport package (sky.de/stream). With the WOW streaming service, fans can experience the NBA and all other Sky Sport broadcasts flexibly (wowtv.de).
