The 2026 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, scheduled for 11 September at the Baku City Circuit, will be available to Indian viewers on beIN SPORTS. According to a recent announcement from beIN SPORTS, the channel will broadcast the race live in high‑definition across the Indian sub‑continent, including the entire country and the Indian‑speaking regions of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
beIN SPORTS will air the event in both standard and high‑definition formats. Viewers can tune in via the channel’s dedicated F1 package on cable and satellite platforms, as well as through the beIN Sports app and website. For those who prefer a digital experience, the race will also be streamed live on the beIN Sports app, which is available for iOS, Android, and smart‑TV platforms.

In addition to the live broadcast, beIN SPORTS will provide comprehensive coverage of the event, including pre‑race analysis, live commentary in English and Hindi, and post‑race interviews with drivers and team principals.

For Indian audiences, the race will start at 12:30 IST on 11 September, aligning with the typical late‑afternoon slot for F1 races in the region.
