How to stream horse racing

If you’re having a bet on a horse race then it’s a lot more exciting to watch the race than simply checking the final result. You may also wish to watch horse races to gain a better knowledge of how individual horses perform at specific tracks or in certain conditions.

Horse racing is televised live on ITV on Saturday’s and occasionally on weekdays when there are major festivals taking place. However, you can also watch horse racing online via betting sites. A large number of bookmakers provide streaming services for various sports including horse racing which gives you the chance to be able to watch the majority of UK & Irish horse races and some races taking place further afield.

Below we have hand-picked a few of the more popular bookmakers which offer live streaming on horse racing and listed the qualifying criteria you must meet in order to view these streams.

William Hill offer live streaming of various sports such as football, tennis, basketball, ice hockey and of course, horse racing.

Customers of William Hill can stream available races through William Hill (TV) which is available via their website and the William Hill app. Races which can be streamed will have a ‘play’ icon next to them which when clicked, will open up the WHTV player with a stream of the race.
