Established in 2017, the service primarily simulcasts the programming of the Qatar-based broadcaster beIN Sports, with beoutQ on-air logos overlaid over those of beIN Sports. The channels have similarly taken content from other broadcasters, and its set-top boxes also contain access to various IPTV services carrying other forms of live channels and entertainment content. The service launched shortly after beIN was forced to stop selling its services in Saudi Arabia, due to an ongoing diplomatic crisis between Qatar and other Arab countries over alleged government support of terrorist groups. beoutQ set-top boxes and subscriptions have since become widely available in the country.
