beIN Asia Pacific has extended its Formula 1 partnership in a new five-year rights renewal that will keep beIN Sports as the exclusive home of F1 across 10 Asian territories through the 2030 season.
The agreement covers Brunei, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Timor-Leste. Viewers will be able to watch every practice and qualifying session, F1 Sprint and Grand Prix on beIN Sports via major pay-TV platforms across the region and on the beIN Sports Connect streaming app.
The deal also includes full coverage of F1 Academy, Formula 2, Formula 3 and the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
beIN said its original programming Off The Grid will return across select race weekends, while Sky Sports F1 support shows including The F1 Show and Ted’s Notebook will complement coverage. Additional content including F1 Kids and the Formula 2 docuseries Chasing the Dream will also be available across all 10 territories.
The renewal builds on beIN’s long-term F1 footprint in the wider region, following a 10-year exclusive agreement across MENA and Türkiye, positioning the broadcaster as one of Formula 1’s most extensive media partners across 35 countries.
The partners also flagged longer-term plans to evolve distribution and fan engagement in Asia-Pacific, including potential integration of F1 TV through beIN’s platforms, with further details to be announced.
Mike Kerr, Managing Director of beIN Asia Pacific, said F1 audiences on beIN Sports have delivered “consistent double-digit year-on-year growth” over the past 3 years, adding that the renewal reflects a shared focus on “deeper access, wider coverage and new ways to connect with the sport”.
Formula 1 Chief Media Rights and Broadcast Officer Ian Holmes said beIN Sports has created a “world-class content offering” and the championship is “delighted to extend and expand” the partnership.
As part of its regional motorsport push, beIN also highlighted its intention to continue spotlighting Asian pathway talent, including Singapore’s Christian Ho and Thailand’s Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak as he steps up to Formula 2.
