beIN Prepares for Exclusive Coverage of the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship in the Middle East
The sports network will broadcast all 24 races live and exclusively in the MENA region across four beIN SPORTS channels.
As the exclusive rights holder in 24 MENA markets until 2033, beIN SPORTS is broadcasting every F1 grand prix live in Arabic and English across its channels. The network will provide studio coverage in both languages for all 24 races throughout the season, including extensive coverage throughout race weekends, focussing particularly on the grands prix in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi.
The F1 season, which commenced in Australia last month, will reach the Middle East this weekend at the Bahrain International Circuit, followed by the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia five days later. The championship will also travel between various continents, returning to the MENA region for its season finale in Qatar and Abu Dhabi on November 30 and December 7 respectively.
beIN’s Arabic F1 studio coverage features Paul Fadel presenting on beIN SPORTS 8 and beIN 4K from a dedicated Augmented Reality set, including analyses from motorsports experts like Saadon Al-Kuwari, Alaa Qubain, Hadi Al-Katheri, Fadi Audi, and Ayman Abdelwahed. Commentary during live races will be provided by renowned commentator Khodr Al Rawi, while Stephany Saad will cover the on-site aspects at all major races.
On beIN SPORTS 9, fans can enjoy an alternative viewing experience through a dedicated pit lane channel that includes split screens showcasing race dynamics and live standings. Content will also be delivered in full 4K ultra-high definition in Arabic, alongside the English-language studio coverage on beIN SPORTS ENGLISH 1 and 2.
Additional pre-race coverage will be aired on beIN SPORTS NEWS, featuring segments to build excitement and discuss the race’s context and implications. During race weekends, the channel will provide live updates and interactive engagements, wrapping up each event with its Issue of the Day analysis, highlighting key moments and standout performances.
beIN’s OTT platforms, including beIN CONNECT and TOD, will feature comprehensive coverage, including additional race feeds and complementary digital content. Their official website and social media platforms will also deliver highlights, driver interviews, and fan engagement opportunities.
