How to watch the Cheltenham Festival from home

First, you need to decide if you want to watch the Cheltenham Festival on TV or through a Livestream on a device like a tablet, laptop or smartphone.

There are two options when it comes to watching Cheltenham on TV from home - ITV Racing and Racing TV. Almost all of the races from The Festival will be available to watch for free on ITV Racing, while Racing TV provides full coverage and is available through Sky and Virgin Media.

Live streaming Cheltenham is another option if you don’t have Sky or Virgin media, or you can’t watch from your television. ITV Racing and Racing TV will both be live streaming the Cheltenham Festival races – including the WellChild Cheltenham Gold Cup.

1. Set up an account - You will need to create an account to access ITV and Racing TV online. Make sure this is set up before The Festival starts – you don’t want to miss any of the action!
2. Check your internet connection - If you’re watching The Festival via livestream, make sure you have a reliable internet connection, either via WiFi or your smartphone’s data. If you are using smartphone data, make sure your package will cover the usage!

Follow all the action! Stay up to date with the day’s upcoming events, with live racecards that provide up to the minute information on runners, riders, odds, and results after the race.

The Cheltenham Racecourse App is available for free on App Store and Google Play.
