Cheltenham Festival Live Streaming: How to watch all 7 races on Gold Cup Day

Cheltenham Festival has proven to be unmissable this year and the excitement is set to continue into Day 4, Gold Cup Day.

Over 250,000 people attend the Cheltenham Festival every year, but so many more have to settle for watching the action at home or on the go, leaving some of the live stream options outlined in this article as the next best thing to being there.

Day 1 proved to be highly entertaining, but there were shocks aplenty as Jango Baie beat Majborough in the Arkle, while Constitution Hill, the odds-on favourite, did not finish the Champion Hurdle.

That theme continued onto Day 2, as Jonbon almost recovered from an early stumble in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, but could not beat Marine Nationale.

On Day three, the action continued with the Ryanair Chase, where Fact To File romped home, and the Stayers Hurdle, where Bob Olinger recorded his third Festival win.

Gold Cup Day looks another cracker and Galopin Des Champs will be bidding to make it three consecutive wins in the race. Dinoblue, Lulamba and East India Dock are just a few of the other equine stars that will be on display.

Cheltenham Live Streaming: Where to Watch the festival

In the UK and Ireland, the first five races of every day will be shown live on ITV and you can also access the final two races of the day on Racing TV alongside those first five, with coverage starting at 12.30pm, though you will need a subscription to watch the action with Racing TV.

Alongside the race coverage during the day, both channels will also have plenty of preview and review feature shows to look back on all the day’s action and ahead to the forthcoming races.

But those aren’t your only options as several bookmakers will also offer live streaming on the Cheltenham Festival and you can even get your hands on some Cheltenham Free Bets by signing up to some of these bookmakers to watch and bet on all the action at Prestbury Park.

Read on for a full breakdown of which bookmakers offer live streaming as part of their package to customers including Bet365, Betfair and Paddy Power.

What Internet Speed and Devices Are Needed for Seamless Streaming?

For optimal streaming performance, experts typically recommend a download speed of at least 25 Mbps per device. To ensure the most stable connection, using a wired connection to your router is best. You can stream on various devices, including smart TVs, streaming sticks, gaming consoles, and mobile devices, based on your preferences and the quality you desire.

Most punters who stream via bookmakers will stream with mobile devices and the quality is not always perfect on these apps, however you should be able to connect with limited issues providing you are using a stable WiFi connection.

How Does Cheltenham Live Streaming Compare to TV Broadcasts?

While many racing aficionados will prefer to watch the action on television in order to be given the latest insight from experts such as Ruby Walsh and AP McCoy on ITV, more casual punters may just want to quickly watch the race while on the go and as such it really depends on the user’s preference.

For higher quality and real in-depth coverage, TV broadcasts truly can’t be beaten, but live streaming via bookmaker websites is a good way to keep up to date with the action while checking your bets.

Can You Watch Cheltenham Live from Outside the UK?

The majority of listed bookmakers and live streaming services will have geo-restrictions in place, meaning that some users from outside of the United Kingdom may not be able to access.

Cheltenham Festival Live Commentary: Best Audio-Only Alternatives

The kind of racing fan that prefers to listen to the audio commentary rather than watch the action? Well there are options for that as well!

While you can use all of the above options for audio commentary as the majority of racing commentary is quite in-depth and descriptive whether for a visual or audio media.

However, it’s worth noting that many of the above bookmakers also have in-app audio streaming and you can listen to every race on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Xtra.
