Formula 1 has signed a multi-year agreement with beIN Sports, which is owned by the state of Qatar, to broadcast its events in 10 Asian territories.

The deal, which will be valid from 2023 to 2025, will see beIN Sports broadcasting Formula 1 in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and the Philippines.

beIN Sports will have the exclusive right to air all 23 grand prix races, including practice and qualifying sessions, in 2023.

Qatar is increasing its involvement in Formula 1 this year, and Qatar Airways, which is owned by the state, is likely to take over as one of the championship’s global partners, replacing Emirates.

Qatar’s Grand Prix, which made its debut in 2021, will be held at Losail in October as part of a 10-year contract.

beIN Asia Pacific Managing Director Mike Kerr said, “We are thrilled to be adding Formula 1 to our growing lineup of sports content for our viewers, as we continue to invest in our programming.”

“Given Formula 1’s rapid growth in recent years, we are excited to collaborate with them to expand their fan base in our markets, by providing an exceptional viewing experience across all platforms,” said beIN Asia Pacific Managing Director Mike Kerr.
