Formula 1 and beIN SPORTS renew broadcast partnership thru 2030
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.
beIN SPORTS’ award-winning 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.
