Germany: MagentaTV launching 2 new golf channels
December 22, 2025
Deutsche Telekom has acquired a package of international golf content. Starting in January 2026, MagentaTV will present an extensive live golf offering with 131 tournaments. The year-round programme is available to MagentaTV customers at no extra charge and is included in all subscription plans. MagentaSport customers can also access the offering on the MagentaSport platforms as part of their subscription at no additional cost. The new golf contract runs until 2029.
“Golf has a new home on MagentaTV. With this package, we are offering Germany’s most comprehensive live golf coverage ever. From the first flights to the final, we will show every tournament like never before – live, informative, and presented in a modern style. The package is aimed at experienced golf fans as well as young viewers who are discovering the sport,” commented Arnim Butzen, Head of TV at Telekom.
The new rights package includes approximately 300 days of live golf per year on the two new golf channels (MS Golf 1 and MS Golf 2). These will be newly added to MagentaTV in January 2026. This will include features from top players, current stories, and historical content. Numerous other features will also be available on demand.
Legends of the sport, such as Germany’s most successful and well-known golf pro, Bernhard Langer, play on the PGA Tour Champions.
Content includes the Dubai Invitational Sony Open Hawaii (both in January), the Austrian Alpine Open, the BMW International Open, the Korn Ferry Tour and much more. Additionally, a key highlight in 2027 and 2029: the Ryder Cup will air live on MagentaTV and MagentaSport. The tournament will take place at Adare Manor in Ireland in 2027 and at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota, USA, in 2029.
