The British Formula 4 Championship is organized by the Motor Sports Association (MSA).

The British Formula 4 championship of the MSA is not to be confused with the BRDC Formula 4 championship of the BRDC , which is not certified by the FIA. Since the naming rights for the use of the term Formula 4 in the United Kingdom lie with the BRDC, the FIA-certified British Formula 4 Championship is marketed under the name MSA Formula and does not use the Formula 4 term in its own publications.
