By GlobalDataMeanwhile, Singtel will also provide coverage on BeIN Sports via Singtel TV channel 126 or its Cast Sports Plus Pack, the telecoms company told the Straits Times.
StarHub and Singtel have shown F1 in Singapore since 2021 after the rightsholder at that time, Fox Sports Asia, shut down its channels in the region in October of that year.
The telcos picked up the rights for the remainder of the 2021 season and the entire 2022 campaign.
In January, BeIN Sports acquired exclusive rights in 10 territories across Southeast Asia, including Singapore, through the 2025 season.
The Singapore Grand Prix returned to the F1 calendar last season after a two-year pandemic-enforced hiatus. This year’s race in the country will take place on September 17.
