LIV Golf’s Exciting Move: What the 2025 Partnership with Fox Sports Means for Fans

LIV Golf is kicking off its third season next month, and there’s exciting news: it’s found a new broadcasting partner in Fox Sports. Starting in February, viewers can catch the league’s tournaments across various Fox channels.

This partnership is significant. It’s the first time LIV Golf will be showcased on a major sports network in the U.S. since it launched in 2022. Previously, its events aired on the CW, but ratings were disappointing. The CW’s limited sports experience didn’t help attract viewers.

With the new deal, Fox and FS1 will broadcast more than half of LIV’s events, with additional coverage on FS2, Fox Business Network, and the Fox Sports App. Fans can also stream the events through the Fox Sports app and the LIV Golf+ app.

“LIV Golf is getting bigger and bolder. This partnership is a big step forward, positioning us alongside the top sports leagues in the country,” said LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil.

This deal will give LIV Golf a much-needed boost in visibility. Fans no longer have to search for games on non-sports networks or streaming services. Now, LIV Golf content will reach a more traditional sports audience.

Fox Sports isn’t new to golf. The network previously aired USGA events, including the U.S. Open, until it lost those rights in 2020. This new partnership indicates Fox’s return to golf broadcasting.

Even as the men’s professional golf scene remains divided, this deal reinforces that LIV Golf is here to stay. In June 2023, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, which supports LIV Golf, agreed to a framework deal with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. However, negotiations are still ongoing, and a finalized agreement has not yet been reached, partly due to a hold-up from the U.S. Department of Justice.

While there’s speculation about that deal possibly wrapping up in 2025, LIV Golf is clearly pushing ahead, especially with this new media rights agreement. Recently, the league also announced O’Neil as its new CEO, taking over from Greg Norman.
