Hong Kong’s Now TV in Formula 1 4K partnership with BeIN Sports

PCCW’s pay TV service Now TV has struck a new agreement with beIN Sports to make Formula 1 motor racing available in 4K to viewers in Hong Kong for the first time for the next three seasons in a deal through 2025.

Now TV customers can currently follow all practice sessions, qualifying, F1 Sprint events and Grand Prix on beIN Sports 1.

However, under this new deal, F1 fans in Hong Kong will now also have the option to watch the Grands Prix in 4K on Now Sports 4K channels.

The events are available in official English commentary, and in Cantonese commentary by Daniel Chan and Ying On-bong. Customers can also watch the sport via the Now Player app or using Now TV’s on-demand service.

In addition, Now E subscribers of selected sport packs will be able to watch all Grands Prix live.

Derek Choi, Managing Director of HKT Home, said, “We are pleased to extend our collaboration with beIN Sports. Formula 1 is one of the most watched sports events in Hong Kong. The continued broadcast of the event, and first time in 4K, has reaffirmed our commitment to bringing world-class sports content to Hong Kong viewers with an unparalleled viewing experience.”

Mike Kerr, managing director of beIN Asia Pacific, saidL “As we continue to strengthen our sports offering in Hong Kong, we are delighted to expand our collaboration with Now TV, a great partner, who shares our vision of bringing the ultimate sports experience across all screens. With the rapid growth of Formula 1 in recent years, we look forward to working alongside Now TV to elevate fans’ engagement like never before.”

Existing Now TV subscribers with the Super Sports Pack Plus, Variety Sports Pack, Now Sports Plus Pack or beIN Sports Pack can watch Formula 1 as part of their subscription.

beIN Sports will also cover FIA Formula 2 and Formula 3 live races, and provide highlights from the all-female F1 Academy series.
