Formula One extends beIN SPORTS deal

Formula One has announced an extension of its partnership with beIN SPORTS, which will see the latter continue to broadcast F1 races across ten territories in Asia until the end of the 2030 season.

The partnership will see beIN SPORTS not only broadcast F1’s races, free practice sessions, qualifying sessions, and Sprints, but also its “Off the Grid” production, which gives fans behind-the-scenes access, expert analysis, and driver reactions during select race weekends.

Furthermore, beIN SPORTS’ coverage will include comprehensive Sky Sports F1 support programming, such as “The F1 Show”, “Ted’s Notebook”, as well as F1 productions including “F1 Kids” and the Formula 2 docuseries “Chasing the Dream”.

Ian Holmes, Chief Media Rights and Broadcasting Officer of Formula One, commented:

“Since becoming a broadcast partner, beIN SPORTS has created a world class content offering which brings fans closer to the heart of Formula 1. We are delighted to extend and expand our partnership with beIN and continue to produce engaging programming for our fans. It is through the hard work and dedication of our fantastic broadcast partners that we can continue to grow the sport and attract new audiences. We look forward to working with beIN SPORTS for years to come.”

Mike Kerr, Managing Director beIN Asia Pacific, said:

“Formula 1 audiences on beIN SPORTS have delivered consistent double-digit year-on-year growth over the past three years, underscoring the sport’s growing resonance with fans across our markets. This renewal reflects our shared commitment with Formula 1 to keep fans at the heart of everything we do, as we continue to elevate the fan experience across every screen through deeper access, wider coverage and new ways to connect with the sport.”
