FORMULA 1 AND beIN SPORTS have announced an extension of their partnership which will see beIN SPORTS continue to exclusively showcase the drama of Formula 1 to fans in ten territories across Asia through until the end of the 2030 season.
The deal covers the following countries: Brunei, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Timor-Leste (East Timor).
beIN SPORTS’ production, Off the Grid, will also return, providing fans with behind-the-scenes access, expert analysis and driver reactions across select race weekends. The broadcaster’s coverage will be further complemented by comprehensive Sky Sports F1 support programming such as The F1 Show, and Ted’s Notebook. F1 productions including F1 Kids and its Formula 2 docuseries Chasing the Dream will also be available for fans across all ten territories to watch.
With over 447 million fans in the region, Formula 1 and beIN will continue to innovate to meet the growing demand across Asia Pacific with a joint long-term ambition to evolve how fans can experience F1, including through the integration of F1 TV through beIN’s platforms. Further details will be announced at a later date.
2026 will feature a 24-race calendar across five continents and mark the introduction of new sporting regulations, the arrival of two new teams in Audi and Cadillac and the inaugural FORMULA 1 TAG HEUER SPANISH GRAND PRIX 2026 in Madrid in September.
F1 chief media rights and broadcasting officer Ian Holmes said: “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.”
beIN Asia Pacific managing director Mike Kerr noted: “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.”
