The two carriers will codeshare on all non-stop flights between the UK and Doha from the end of October, allowing them each to sell a total of seven flights in both directions.
Customers will have access to a combined network of more than 70 destinations.
Willie Walsh, chief executive of BA parent IAG said: "This agreement will benefit customers by giving them access to more destinations through Qatar Airways’ extensive network.
"It will also allow us to provide easier journeys with better aligned schedules, more frequencies and improved flight transfers.
"This partnership follows the commercial agreement with IAG Cargo signed two years ago and enhances our relationship with Qatar Airways further."
Qatar Airways group chief executive His Excellency Mr Akbar Al Baker said: "British Airways is an airline steeped in history and prestige and we are proud to be partnering with them to offer our passengers an even greater choice of global destinations.
"This partnership brings together two world-class airlines to provide an enhanced operation for our passengers with increased daily flights between London and Doha, greater choice of flight schedules, wider range of fares and improved members benefits.
"Today’s announcement reinforces our already established relationship with IAG and we look forward to welcoming British Airways’ direct flights to our hub, Hamad International Airport, where we can provide passengers with seamless access to our global network of more than 150 destinations."
